I needed a barn light last summer. I found one in a lighting store near my weekend home in Ulster County. When it was time to pick it up we realized that the company (Primelite) was in Freeport on Long Island, which is where we live during the week.

Has anyone been able to find a price list on that site? I am worried that even if there is one that perhaps it hasnt been updated to reflect inflation since 1995

They have some wonderful stuff though!

Tikimama (and other readers) - I very much agree with you that there is a boatload of material here! In fact, I have four more posts coming on the Primelight product line including all their series of relevance. So...yes...either go thru the catalog...or wait, and it will all be here soon! Also, on exterior lighting, I think I have done two other posts -- see the options from Rejuvenation, and from Hanover. You can also take a look at Remcraft and see what they have...Hearing from you, Lisa, I will try to do more research on this topic....

Wow! Great resource…and from such a youngun’! It’s definitely worth taking a look at the whole catalog (although Jimmy’s right – their website is truly dated!). I thought there were a lot of indoor fixtures that had a very mod vibe, but even more exiting were the outdoor fixtures! I’ve had a hard time finding anything I like for the outside of our home, but here there are lots of clean-lined options. Even dark-sky friendly lights (something very important where I currently live near Joshua Tree National Park, but also something relatively easy we could all do to lessen light pollution).

There are powder-coated color options – lots! – even pink!!!
