Aisle lighting has to do two jobs: let you see a horse, tack and feed clearly, and finish the look of the barn. American Stalls, a Fairfax, Virginia horse barn equipment company, makes custom barn light fixtures in steel, copper and brass. Here is what the company states about the fixtures, the metals and the finishes.
# Fixture types
- Gooseneck Lamps, Wall Sconces and Pendant (cord pendant) Lighting, for interior and exterior use.
- Designs are inspired by early 20th-century fixtures with modern finishes.
- Each fixture is custom built to order: you choose size, finish, mounting style and accessories.
# Steel, copper or brass
- American Stalls makes its lighting from American metals including steel, copper and brass.
- Shades are handspun on a lathe by skilled craftsmen from flat disks of steel, aluminum, brass and copper.
- Fixtures are built in the USA in a 60,000 square-foot facility using commercial-grade materials.
- In its hardware guidance, the company notes brass is a softer metal that darkens into a patina over time unless polished, which is why it keeps brass for dry, display spaces rather than wet, working ones.
# Finishes that face the weather
- Durable powder coat finishes.
- Porcelain Enamel: an enamel glaze hand-applied to solid-steel shades and baked in a high-temperature oven. American Stalls says it offers the best protection against the elements in any climate and gives a high-gloss, slightly reflective surface.
# Planning aisle and stall lighting
- Use natural light as much as possible; plan interior lighting for when it is not available.
- Focus on aisle ways, grooming areas, feed rooms and stalls so grooming, clipping, tack checks and feed and medication checks are safe.
- LED lighting runs cooler than incandescent, lowering fire risk, and uses less electricity.
- If stall lights are used to keep coats short or mares cycling, put them on a timer for about 16 hours of light, bright enough to read a newspaper in the darkest corner.
