We’ve outgrown our current location, and are excited to announce that soon we will begin moving to a new 75,000+ square feet facility!
With this move, we will finally have all of our departments operational under one roof!
Directions: Click Here
We will begin moving May 2nd, 2022. Please read on for important details.
This strategic move will help to grow our business, allow us to better serve you, and enable us to create a better work environment for our team.
We are working hard to make the move as seamless as possible. We have a plan in place to minimize potential shipping delays, but we request your flexibility and patience. When placing an order during the transition period, please allow an additional day for receiving your shipments.
The move will take place 5/2/2022 – 7/1/2022.
Please remember that this is an extensive move that will take place over a couple of months. During this time, our team will be operating from both the existing and new warehouse. In doing this, we will eliminate the need for closures related to the move and reduce possible downtime.
We will begin moving on May 2, 2022.
Around that time, we will start receiving shipments at the new facility and begin stocking the new warehouse. Until the end of June, we will utilize both warehouses.
Our move will be completed by July 1st, 2022.
Our new facility will allow us to better serve our partners. Here are just a few of the benefits that you will enjoy.
Faster Deliveries
When we are fully up and running at the new facility, you can expect faster deliveries. Our new location is within the Commonwealth Business Park and is close to many trucking companies and major highways. In fact, it is less than a mile from I-10 (US Interstate 10).
More Stock on Hand
Of the 75,000 square feet, over 65,000 square feet is dedicated warehouse space. This will give us the ability to stock more inventory. More stock will aid in reducing our back orders and improve your wait time.
Better Warehouse Design
The new warehouse is a new start with more opportunities for efficiencies which will result in improved accuracy. We are starting fresh and proactively putting processes in place regarding order fulfillment and inventory management. Ultimately, our goal is to set new standards for speed and accuracy.

]]>Rustic elements in a space have always brought charm and character to a home. The addition of rustic styling in a home can range from rustic décor and furnishing to rustic lighting. Rustic homes emit warmth, comfort, and natural beauty, enhancing the overall design scheme.
Some rustic style subcategories include; farmhouse, cottage, and coastal. Each have different aspects, levels, and intensities of rustic styling that create unique and fresh design concepts. As popular home renovation shows showcase these styles, these popular subcategories are trending more than ever.
We will detail the design elements of each rustic category and explore a number of Golden Lighting products that work well with each style. If you feel the need to reevaluate your home’s style and lighting choice before we begin, we recommend reading our quick blog to find lighting that best fits your home’s style.
Farmhouse style homes typically showcase some type of vintage flare either by displaying antiques or showcasing weathered wood. Some homes emulating farmhouse design often repurpose old barn tools and metal to add that touch of authenticity. This type of rustic country décor can be found peppered throughout farmhouse kitchens, bedrooms, dining rooms, and living rooms.
To match farmhouse interiors, we recommend installing complementary farmhouse lighting. Farmhouse lighting fixtures can vary in style from industrial farmhouse lighting, modern farmhouse lighting, to vintage farmhouse lighting. The mudroom shown above is from our collaboration with American Farmhouse Style and Cottage and Bungalows for the 2020 Project Home build with Scissortail Homes in Oklahoma.

Cottage homes emit charm, comfort, and often a casual rustic tone. Some cottage style homes mimic the structure and architectural design of early German, English, Scottish, and French country cottage sides. Cottage interiors tend to blend a warm mix of brick and natural wood, balanced with soft textures and feminine décor.
When thinking of cottage interior design, a stylistically inspired light fixture must be considered. Select fixtures that mimic primitive country lighting which showcase weathered or “peeling” finish and have appealing classic silhouettes. For the Project Home 2020 build, a vintage-inspired traditional shaped 3 light bath vanity was chosen for the above shown room. We softened the farmhouse look by installing our Bartlett in a French White finish with expressive hints of gold to better match the cottage design of the bathroom.

Coastal homes often utilize rustic décor to create their seaside retreat. Coastal style homes often use natural elements such as driftwood, rattan, bamboo, and rope. Nautical paintings and accents can often be seen throughout homes with coastal interior designs.
Achieving a cohesive coastal design requires the use of coastal-inspired fixtures. We recommend browsing our selection of rattan pendant lights, nautical outdoor lighting, and coastal chandeliers listed below.
Our Q3 launch is full of items that are meant to fill gaps in our product line. We filled one gap by adding new types of functional wall sconces to our line. Find an array of exciting new sconce families or simply fall back in love with our Orwell series - That’s right, we’ve extended this Golden Lighting favorite to be even more versatile.
Golden Lighting is excited to share with you a number of new wall sconces, including 3 new articulating wall sconce collections. The beauty of these new sconce collections is that they do not require junction boxes for installation. These pin up sconces can be installed as plug-ins or as hardwired fixtures.
Even more exciting are the articulating sconces. These fixtures are also known as swing arm lamps and can bring added functionality and style to your space.

Speaking of options, these adjustable wall sconces offer dual-mounting. Dual mount, otherwise known as dual plug-in, allow you two options for installation: plug-in or hardwire. Plug-in fixtures can be easier for individuals who do not want to hardwire the fixtures to a junction box, or create a new junction box on the wall.
Plug-in installations - also known as portables - are quick, easy, and allow you to change the location of your fixture down the road. For example, when installing our articulating wall lights all you have to do is find a wall outlet nearby and plug-in the swing arm wall lamp. Ta-da, you can then use the fixture immediately.

This Lighting Home Style guide has the answers you seek. It can help you find beautiful lighting that will match your home’s décor and stylistic elements. In this text, we will briefly review each classic category of home style and the elements that support them.
Following each style category we have suggested Golden Lighting fixtures that complement the associated home style.

Modern homes are defined by some type of architectural character such as exposed beams and/or a flat or angled roof. The interior of these homes typically feature clean lines and are minimalist in design. Some more industrial-style modern homes utilize an expressive amount of metal and concrete. Color palettes often used in modern homes are neutrals such as black, white, and gray. Warmth can easily be added to the home with either a bold pop of color or metallics like Chromes, Pewters, or Brasses. We recommend homes with modern styles to use light fixtures with two-tone elements, metallic accents, geometric shapes, and unique designs. See the below selection of modern chandeliers and modern pendant lighting, otherwise known as contemporary lighting.
Uptown style leans more toward décor with feminine elegance and sophistication. Designer elements are often seen within these homes. Uptown home color palettes include warm yellows, pinks, creams and oranges. Classic uptown style elements are similar to traditional homes, however, the former utilizes more decorative elements and softer décor. We recommend light fixtures with crystals and a more feminine silhouette to complement this style.
A classic style found in older homes, the traditional home is often a large multi-story home modeled after 18th-19th-century European décor. Traditional homes typically have multiple key interior features, craftsman furnishing, detailed to ornate millwork, and either wallpaper or cooler wall colors such as teal, mint, or blush. This style of home is typically more masculine than Uptown. We recommend traditional light fixtures with a classic silhouette, sweeping arms, and beautiful detailing.
Rustic homes are defined by a strong emphasis of nature. Raw materials are often incorporated and left exposed within the structural design. Exposed wood beams, wood trim, hardwood floors or wood walls are typically found in various rustic homes. Color palettes for these homes include earthy warm reds, browns, greens, and oranges. We recommend rustic light fixtures that utilize organic shapes, or a blend of wood and metal elements. See a selection of rustic chandeliers and rustic pendant lighting below.
Transitional homes are usually a perfect blend of traditional and modern style. Elements from both styles are utilized in a harmonious way, sometimes even rustic elements can be seen in transitional homes. Transitional homes use furnishings that are simple yet comfortable and incorporate timeless designs with classic, sophisticated décor.
Here is some advice on how to get your lights to look great in your space...
Measure to ensure that your fixtures will fit the space. Guessing or eyeballing can lead to installing the wrong size light fixture in your space. Here are some tips on choosing and placing properly sized light fixtures.
Remember, these are guidelines are flexible as sizes may vary based on the style, the visual weight of the fixture, or the unique characteristics of your room.
The following tips are based off standards determined by the American Lighting Association, the leading trade association for the residential lighting industry.
Different types of lighting offer different functions. Wall sconces, semi-flushes, flush mounts, and track lights are very popular in spaces like kitchens. Some fixtures can be mounted on sloped ceilings or offer pivoting shades and angles which can help with task lighting and directional lighting.
Depending on the placement of the fixture, you may need to consider opting for a fixture that is either dry or damp rated. Damp rated fixtures are recommended for kitchen installations due to the heat and moisture kitchens can produce. However, kitchens with windows or tall ceilings allow for more ventilation and thus dry application fixtures can be installed in these spaces.

You will also need to reference the proposed fixture’s dimensions via the fixture’s Spec Sheet. Spec Sheets are available through our retailers’ websites. You can also look for your light fixture or find dimensions and spec sheets here at GoldenLightingOutlet.com.

]]>In bathrooms, there is one key rule of thumb: the more light, the better. Dark bathrooms are unwelcoming. No one wants to use a poorly lit bathroom.
When done right, great lighting can give the impression of a bright, fresh, inviting space, and breathe new life into your bathroom. This amplified illumination can also improve beauty routines and hygiene regimens. No one wants to appear to look alright in their bathroom mirror, only to step outside and find out the opposite.
To achieve a well lit and inviting bath space, we recommend layering your lighting. The essential design concept of light layering, involves using multiple light sources in an effort to illuminate every part of the room.
With multiple lights, having independent control of light fixtures' outputs is the best way to control the intensity, amount of light, and number of lights used at any given time. Be sure to group your lights on different controls. This will allow you to light your bathroom with the right amount of light needed for each performed task.
In addition to layering your lights, you should also keep in mind the height of your ceiling, your chosen fixture's height, and the necessary clearance needed. Not doing so, could lead to retrofitting your space with the wrong light. We recommend all fixtures have at least 30" of clearance between the top of any surface it hangs above.
Tip: If you have 8-9' ceilings in your bathroom, you should look for lighting for low ceilings. Hone in on the damp rated semi-flush and flush mount fixtures. These fixtures are approved for use in the bathroom and will help provide the proper overhead lighting that is needed, while allowing clearance.
Eliminate any shadows in your bathroom by illuminating the vanity as well as the mirror. In addition to overhead vanity lighting, you may opt to install wall sconces at the sides of your mirror(s). This diffused light will provide additional illumination.
Many bathroom fixtures offer widespread light while others gently diffuse light. This usually depends on the shade and light source used on the fixture. A white or opal shade diffuses light better than a dark shade. Be selective in your bathroom lighting choices and select fixtures that speak to the space's style while offering utility. By choosing the proper placement and correct combination of lights and shades, you can reduce shadows, hot spots, and prevent blinding glare.
When purchasing a light, a daunting task can often be deciding which light bulb to install in your chosen fixture. Here, you must consider the color temperature as this is important in providing the right light in the bathroom. It is better to use a whiter, brighter light to render colors accurately. So, look for fixtures with recommended bulb color temperatures of 3500-4000K.
A lot of tasks take place in front of the bathroom mirror. This increases the importance of selecting the right bulb. That is because the Color Rendering Index (or CRI) of certain bulbs allow you to correctly see your clothes, skin, hair and makeup. A CRI of 90-100 is recommended.
