Barn lights are generally defined as downward-facing, wall-mounted, light fixtures featuring a simple shade and long arms that bear semblance to a “gooseneck”. As such, they are sometimes referred to as Gooseneck Barn Lights. They represent understated elegance and are reminiscent of the rustic light fixtures that were commonly found in early 20th century barns and farms.

They are typically constructed from high-grade, industrial materials like powder-coated aluminum and stainless steel. Some are also manufactured from porcelain enamel to accentuate their vintage characteristics. Barn lights enhance the interior and exterior of any space without compromising function. They are commonly used in gardens, homes, restaurants, retail stores, and just about any space that needs lighting.

Dusk to dawn barn lights on the other hand are barn lights with special lighting systems that use a built-in photocell to measure light levels and adjust according to the time of the day. They automatically light up when darkness descends and switch off when dawn awakens. With some models, you can set a timer for when you want the lights to activate while some are manually operated with on/off controls. Dusk to dawn barn lights adds amazing aesthetic appeal to your home or space while providing maximum security and a sense of safety. They are durable and weatherproof, so they will stick with you through fall and all other seasons without sacrificing value.
