NBR: Lighting Fixtures

Now that we're done painting the exterior of the house, we need an outdoor wall light.  It sounds so simple, yet it's so hard to find one we like.  We would like something modern and simple to go with the mailbox and numbers that we selected, but it seems like Home Depot and Lowe's only has one style for an outdoor wall light and it comes in black, gold, or silver.  We've seen some modern ones online, but just because it's "modern" the price shoots up to $300-$500!!!  Any suggestions or recommendations?

  • I know what you mean we just ended up buying one for our new house and we went everywhere to look for one. We ended up buying one from Lowe's and it is black, but we are changing the one's from the garage to match.

    While we were standing searching there was another couple going through the same thing and they were telling us how they were just going to buy anything becuase they had already been to three places that day to look. So I think everyone is on the same boat.

    HTH!

  • We actually found some we liked at etiher HD or Lowe's.  Have you tried Benson Lighting, or Pego Lighting (I think that is the name) down south?  They have a huge selection at different price ranges.  Restoration Hardware and Pottery Barn may have some too.

  • I passed by Benson's Lighting this weekend and they had a very small section of outdoor lighting.  The salesperson told me that she didn't understand why manufacturers didn't vary the style of outdoor lighting and that their really isn't much choice.  But, IDK if she was saying that so I would just pick something from their selection, lol.

    I'll check out Restoration Hardware and Pottery Barn.  The one place I have seen some modern outdoor lighting is www.lightingdirect.com, but the more modern the look the more expensive they are. 

  • There are also a couple of stores on 87th Ave by the Falls you can check out.
  • Ugh, I can't offer any suggestions, but we're going through something similar with new faucets for the bathrooms and kitchen. Good luck!

    I know what you mean.  It's the same thing with faucets.  If it's any help, Ikea has a small selection of faucets.

    Ooh, thanks for the tip! We need to make a trip to Ikea for some other things, so we'll check them out!
