Why the Westchester is the Ideal Farmhouse Lighting Choice

Have you been searching for the perfect farmhouse lighting for your home? If yes, permit us to tell you about the Westchester — a light fixture that combines everything you could want in a farmhouse-style light. It doesn’t matter if you are fixing up an old farmhouse or adding country charm to a modern home; this fixture is a game-changer.

Just the Right Size for Any Space

Finding a light that’s not too big and not too small can be tricky. That’s where the Westchester shines (pun intended!). With its 12-inch dome, it’s like the Goldilocks of farmhouse lighting — just right. The versatility of this size is what makes the Westchester extra special.

You can place it above your front door to welcome guests, on your porch to light up evening gatherings, or next to your garage doors for extra security. Many homeowners love it over their kitchen sink or along the side of their barn. It’s not so big that it takes over the space, but it’s not so small that it gets lost. This perfect balance makes it ideal for both indoor and outdoor use.

Made Right Here in America

Every Westchester light has a story that starts in sunny Southern California. Real people make these lights by hand, spinning tough 18-gauge steel into the perfect dome shape. Before any light leaves the workshop, someone checks it personally to ensure it meets all the standard specifications. Needless to say, this fixture is a piece of American craftsmanship you will be proud to have in your home.

Built to Handle Whatever Mother Nature Throws at It

Let’s talk about durability. The Westchester isn’t your average light fixture that needs replacing every few years. It’s built with solid steel construction that won’t dent or bend easily and features a special powder coating that protects against rust. The weather-resistant finish keeps its good looks through years of sun, rain, and snow. It is more or less like a trusted farm truck — reliable, sturdy, and ready for years of service.

Easy to Make It Your Own

One of the best things about the Westchester is its easy customization. When it comes to mounting options, you can choose what works best for your space. The 11-inch straight arm offers a classic look, while the gooseneck options (available in 11-inch, 16-inch, and 23-inch lengths) provide flexibility for different installation needs.

The color selection is where Westchester really lets you express your style. You might go classic with black, dark bronze, or white. There’s also bold red and navy blue for those wanting to make a statement. If subtle is more your style, cream and modern gray offer understated elegance. The galvanized finish brings an authentic farm feel, while hunter green and gray blue add distinctive character. For good measure, you can customize the interior of the dome in brass, white, or navy blue.

Smart Features That Make Life Easier

The Westchester might have that timeless antiquated look peculiar to farmhouse lighting, but it’s packed with modern smarts. It works with regular E26 light bulbs , which you can find at any hardware store. You can connect it to our dusk to dawn sensor so your lights turn on and off automatically, saving you time and energy. Thanks to its Dark Sky certification, it helps reduce light pollution by directing light where you need it, not up into the sky.

Perfect for Every Season

Our Westchester light adapts beautifully to every season. In spring, it illuminates your garden paths as you tend to your emerging flowers. Summer evenings are warmer and more welcoming as it lights up your backyard gatherings. When fall arrives, it guides trick-or-treaters safely to your door. And during those long winter nights, it brings a warm glow to dark evenings, making your return home always inviting.

Real-World Uses That Make Sense

The Westchester proves its worth every day in homes across the country — as far as farmhouse lighting is concerned. Many homeowners frame their front doors with a pair of these lights, creating a symmetrical, welcoming entrance. Others use them to light the path to their barn or illuminate their mudroom entrance. In kitchens, they provide perfect task lighting over sinks and workspaces. Some clever homeowners even use them to transform plain garage entrances into welcoming spaces or create cozy outdoor dining areas.
