Decorating with RLM Gooseneck Lighting
Vintage gooseneck lighting has been making a comeback in recent years, which provides an industrial and rustic look.
One distinctive feature with a lot of Gooseneck lighting is the RLM shade, short for Reflector Luminaire Manufacturer, which points downward and is compliant with Dark Sky requirements.
Gooseneck lighting is versatile and can be used in a variety of indoor and outdoor spaces, including the following:
Barn and Warehouse Exteriors
Due to their industrial and rustic design, one of the more complementary and straightforward uses for Barn Lighting is in a barn or warehouse exterior.
The vintage and industrial design of outdoor gooseneck barn lights allow for a simple and rustic look while maintaining a modern feel.
Sign Lighting
Signs requiring downlighting while keeping a classic design also benefit from gooseneck lighting. The variety of different arm lengths and shade styles allow for use with different sign dimensions to create a uniquely lit sign.
With sign lighting, it is typically recommended to keep a 3ft spacing between fixtures for optimal lighting.
Indoor Accent Lighting
The growing trend of industrial and vintage styles has also made its way into interior spaces. Many homeowners are now decorating with gooseneck lighting over kitchen sinks and in hallways to provide additional accent lighting.
