Arts and Crafts Style Outdoor Lighting

In my mind, I associate a specific type of outdoor lighting with bungalows and craftsman-style houses.  I consistently think of lamp-style lights, with simple yet beautiful metalwork framing the light and crossing the lamp with perpendicular lines and/or forming box shapes.

When we bought our home, our front yard was lit with a large and hard floodlight.  We replaced it with this:





Similarly, we replaced the floodlight on our porch with this:


We bought these lights at Omega Lighting Design:
2204 San Pablo Avenue
Berkeley, CA 94708
510-843-3636

There are several great lighting stores in Oakland and Berkeley to choose from.  More than one can be found on San Pablo Ave., including Metro Lighting and Berkeley Lighting Company.  We recommend both of them (in addition to Omega Lighting Design).
