Are there more ornate outdoor light fixtures that are as much eye candy as they are functional security lights? In fact, gooseneck outdoor light fixtures combine these two design elements. A good example is the Downtown Edison sconce by Minka Lavery. These gooseneck barn lights focus attention on the clear glass shade that is held up with an attractive brushed nickel construction. Other finishes you might choose are black, brass, or bronze.

Elements of a Functional Gooseneck Outdoor Light

When you lead an active outdoor lifestyle, goose neck lights with cages for the light bulbs are ideal. They can withstand being bumped by a basketball or a pool noodle. Opt for multiple smaller outdoor gooseneck barn light fixtures such as the Seaside models by Kichler. The dark color of the housing blends in easily with any type of house color. Remember that brushed nickel housings for your gooseneck exterior lights are always an alternative to darker tones.

How can you enhance the safety around your home? We recommend stylish outdoor wall lights and sconces that illuminate the path from your home to the end of your property line. Install these fixtures in the front and back. Functional garage and front porch lighting works well for secondary structures in your landscape.
