Custom Build vs. Mass Produced Indoor and Outdoor Lighting

We’ve gotten many questions from people that are considering our indoor and outdoor lights for their homes. They’re asking about the differences between mass-produced lights vs. our custom made lighting and the differences in cost.

The easiest explanation is this. Our custom made lights are individually made for each order, this means we take a lot of pride in our craftsmanship to provide top quality lighting products. Each light fixture is born from a piece of sheet metal, which is hand measured, cut, formed and finished to create the end product. Each of our lights can be altered to fit the needs and home decor of the individual that is purchasing it, so every light fixture that we produce is unique to its order and the customer. This provides you with the ability to ask for special features that you may not find with pre-cut and pre-manufactured products. You’ll also find that in many cases the difference in price in minimal to pre-manufactured products and in some cases cheaper. You’ll also notice that our lighting fixtures are made with with higher quality materials like brass, stainless steel and thicker cuts of glass. You can view our metal and glass samples on line or order samples form our website at calcolighting.com.

Sun Bricks: Solar Powered, LED-Embedded

I found these on site called GIZMODO. This is a great solution for path lighting that’s cost effective and energy efficient. Sun Bricks, patio pavers are completely solar powered and soak up the sun during the day and light up your walkway after sun down. Each of these bricks are completely self-contained and they capable of providing up to 8 hours of light on a full charge. Each Sun Brick is equipped with two amber LEDs, and are sized the same as standard bricks, so you can swap out a few of your old bricks for some of these.

GIZMODO isn’t you’re ordinary outdoor lighting store , it’s a place with cool hi tech gadgets, mobile technologies andfun stuff for the home and office.

Finding A Style That Fits Your Home Decor

With this being the season for home improvement many of our customers are considering a complete remodel of their outdoor lighting. And with that said, they are often looking for the same fixture but in different configurations (hanging lights, wall lights, pilaster lights and post lights) to complete the look of their home. Often they’re unable to find all of the configurations on our website, which can be a little confusing. The answer to the dilema is simple… just ask. We can alter all of our lighting to meet your needs and the conversion of an existing style for example, hanging lanterns to a wall light is part of what we do- custom hand crafted lighting. We pride ourselves on our work and we’re happy to make the alterations to fit your needs. Additionally, many of our lights can be used for both your indoor and ourdoor home decor.
