The Redondo: A Best-Selling Wall Light Fixture

When we first started, the Redondo was one of our most talked-about wall light fixtures. It wasn’t hard to see why. This industrial barn house light makes an impression without trying too hard — kind of like that friend who walks into a room and naturally draws everyone’s attention.

What Makes the Redondo Stand Out

The Redondo is not your typical wall light fixture — it’s a statement piece with practical benefits. Standing at an impressive size with a 20-inch dome, this light works best when mounted at least 15 feet off the ground. I’ve seen it transform ordinary walls into focal points, especially on large exterior spaces like garages, barns, or tall buildings.

One thing I’ve noticed when helping customers choose lighting is that scale matters. A common mistake is picking fixtures that are too small for the space. The Redondo solves this problem for larger areas where standard light fixtures would get lost or look underwhelming.

Built to Last

What separates quality lighting from the disposable stuff is construction, and The Redondo doesn’t cut corners. Each fixture is handmade from heavy-duty 18-gauge steel, then powder coated to stand up to the elements. This process creates a finish that resists rust and maintains its look year after year.

I’ve visited homes with outdoor lighting that looked great for a season, then quickly deteriorated. The Redondo avoids this fate thanks to its solid construction. It’s the kind of fixture you install once and enjoy for years — which explains why it’s become one of our best-sellers.

Mounting Options That Work With Your Space

Flexibility matters when choosing a wall light fixture, and The Redondo gives you options. You can pair the 20-inch dome with:

1. A 20-inch straight arm light for a classic, direct look
2. A 16-inch gooseneck for a slight curve
3. A 23-inch gooseneck when you need more extension
4. An upward-sloping gooseneck for a distinctive profile

These choices might seem small, but they make a big difference in how the light sits against your wall and how it directs illumination. Our team often recommends the straight arm for modern builds and the gooseneck options for more traditional or farmhouse-inspired homes.

Colors That Complement Your Style

Black wall light fixtures remain our most popular choice, but The Redondo offers variety to match different design visions. The standard exterior options include:

1. Matte black (our most requested)
2. White (great for contrast against darker walls)
3. Gray (subtle and versatile)
4. Hunter green (perfect for garden areas)
5. Red (for those looking to make a bold statement)
6. Navy blue (increasingly popular for coastal-inspired homes)

For interior installations, you can choose white, brass, or navy blue. I’ve found the brass option works beautifully in spaces with warm wood tones or other metallic accents.

Where The Redondo Works Best

While technically approved for both indoor and outdoor use, The Redondo really shines (literally) in outdoor applications. Some places where I’ve seen it make the biggest impact:

1. Mounted high on garage exteriors
2. Flanking large barn doors
3. Positioned at roof peaks where they draw the eye upward
4. Along commercial building exteriors
5. On covered porches of larger homes

That said, we’ve had customers install them indoors in spaces with high ceilings and open concepts. Converted industrial spaces, lofts, and modern farmhouse great rooms can all handle The Redondo’s substantial presence.

Dark Sky Certified

An often overlooked feature of The Redondo is its Dark Sky certification. This means it’s designed to reduce light pollution by directing illumination downward rather than scattering it upward into the night sky.

For those living in areas with dark sky ordinances or anyone concerned about light pollution, this feature matters. It also means the light goes where you need it (on your driveway, walkway, or building ), instead of spilling uselessly into the air.

Real-World Applications

One customer, Sean, installed The Redondo on his 1831 house during a renovation that featured extensive post and beam work. He was specifically looking for a classic barn light to complement the historical character of his home.

In his words: “Very happy with the lights. The quality is excellent. Arrived in a timely manner with excellent customer service.” The traditional styling of The Redondo paired perfectly with his historic home’s architectural elements.

Another customer, Linda, found The Redondo to be the ideal replacement for old halogen lights on her dining patio. The upgrade not only improved the look of her outdoor dining area but also provided better illumination for evening gatherings. The wall light fixture’s substantial size made it a natural fit for her outdoor entertaining space.

We’ve also seen The Redondo shine in agricultural applications. One client installed the fixture on their newly constructed pole barn and was thrilled with the results.

They reported: “It looks great, was simple to install and nicely lights the area under the 12×12 overhead door.” The practical benefits of good illumination combined with aesthetic appeal made it a perfect choice for their working structure.

Some of our customers have taken advantage of The Redondo’s dusk to dawn compatibility for outdoor installations. This smart feature eliminates the need to manually switch lights on and off, ensuring reliable illumination exactly when it’s needed.

For properties with multiple outbuildings or extensive grounds, this automation proves incredibly practical while maintaining the fixture’s visual appeal.

Practical Considerations

When planning for The Redondo, keep in mind:

1. Height matters — this wall light fixture needs space to breathe
2. Consider the dome and arm combination in relation to your wall size
3. Plan for professional installation if you’re mounting it in high locations
4. Consider the direction of light in relation to windows and neighboring properties

Is The Redondo Right for Your Project?

The Redondo isn’t for every space. Smaller homes, areas with low ceilings, or minimalist designs might be better served by something more compact. But for spaces that call for a substantial presence — where lighting needs to make an impact while providing serious illumination, the Redondo delivers.

I’ve found it works especially well for properties with architectural character, historical references, or industrial influences. It bridges the gap between purely decorative fixtures and utilitarian lighting.

If you’re looking for a wall light fixture that combines sturdy construction with classic styling, The Redondo might be exactly what your project needs. It’s become a best-seller not through marketing hype, but through word-of-mouth from satisfied customers who appreciate quality lighting that makes a difference in how they experience their spaces.
