    Rejuvenation Lighting offers two styles of porch lighting that could be a good fit for your retro renovation – whether it’s ultramodern or modern-with-that-colonial touch, as many 50s and 60s homes were.My home is of this latter colonial/modern variety and I used exterior lighting that’s similar to Rejuvenation’s black cast iron lantern model shown here, but with flat glass. It’s on my list to track down the other company, which does not have an online presence; I’ll post that soon.

      Last year we added the left hand fixture (the Otis) to our 1956 front porch, in Rejuvenation’s aged bronze finish. It looks like it has always been there and we love it!

      A plus, if you are energy conscious or like to leave your porch light on all night: It takes an outdoor-use compact fluorescent GU24 bulb (most compact fluorescents can’t be used outdoors, especially in cold weather.)
