I was wondering if anyone knows the name of the old fashion scalloped lamps that used to hang on barns, garages etc. I would like to find a replica for our barn and I know thay are out there but I don't know what thay are called. I have seen them on fairly new pole buildings in Virginia recently but can't find then back here. Easier on the eyes at night then looking into or at a yard style pole lamp. Any ideas? Thanks, EL.

Does it look like this? click here
If that's it, except for a conduit attached to the top, Progress Lighting sells them.

there is a company in cleveland oh, that sells all kind of repo stuff called "Hinckley lighting" I think they have some good stuff with ul and all the needed safety items at a reasonable price, we did some work for them, try a search for their web site & start looking ;)

Thanks guys. I saw someone putting up a pole building yesterday and stopped and talked to the foreman on the job. He told me they could get scalloped edged lights but they were over $100.00 from them. He suggestested I go to Lowes and check out thier unscalloped edge lights. Only $30.00 and still around 16" diameter, which is what I wanted. Had I known the name or model number I most likely could have found it on the Lowes/home depot web site.

Thanks for the replys, EL.

Is that the light you got for $30.00? At lowes?

Hi Kevin. Yes it is. I can go to the barn and get a "'number or SKU for you if you would like. Let me know, EL.

That would help as I went to lowes web site and they have several thousands lights. I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
Kevin

Hi Kevin. I know Lowes site and Home depot had me crossed eyed. Anyway, this is a Portfolio item # 190830 in Raw Steel Finish. Like I said it is almost 16" in diameter. I think it will look good on the barn and we won't have to look into a buld in a post lamp at night while outside. Hope this helps you, EL.

Kevin. I got my light installed today. I sent along a few pics to give you an idea of what itlooks like. I used a handy box as a junction box as I installed a photo cell to control the light if I am not home at dark.:) Any questions let me know, EL.
