Your Complete Guide to Straight-ArmLighting Fixtures

Straight-arm lighting fixtures excel with their sleek lines and old-fashioned functionality, making them a great fit for both indoor charm and outdoor resilience. These fixtures stand out for their robust design and traditional appearance, ideal for settings from barns to patios.

Choosing the correct straight-arm size for your lighting fixtures is crucial for achieving the desired light spread and aesthetic. For compact lighting needs, such as sconces that require a more focused illumination, the 6” straight-arm is ideal. This smaller arm size minimizes the spread of light, perfect for accentuating specific areas without overwhelming the space.

On the other end of the spectrum, the 20-inch straight-arm is designed to support our largest dome lights, such as the Redondo. This size is perfect for areas that require broad, expansive lighting. The longer arm allows for a significant spread of light, making it suitable for large spaces where ample illumination is key!

For versatile needs, we also offer an 11-inch straight-arm, which provides a balance between focused and expansive lighting, adaptable to various settings and purposes. Choose wisely based on the specific requirements of your space and the lighting effect you aim to achieve.

When considering straight-arm versus gooseneck mounts for lighting fixtures, there are a few reasons to choose straight-arm designs. They have a more direct profile that’s great for highlighting specific areas without the extra curves of goosenecks, making them less obtrusive and more in line with a minimalist aesthetic. Additionally, their simpler design helps the light shine down, straight from where they’re mounted, while the gooseneck allows the fixture to shine from above its placement. The straight arm tends to blend seamlessly with modern architecture, while the gooseneck is better for the traditional farmhouse aesthetic.
