Light up your sign, menu or noticeboard in style! You need that signage lit, so take the opportunity to project your sense of vintage style while you do.
The Frontier is a quality product made by ourselves at Barn Light Australia, Australian Made!
Where would I use The Frontier Gooseneck Sign Light? you ask – Here’s a short list;
Restaurant Menu Boards.
A good way to illuminate what’s important to your customers, popular with just about every new hip burger joint When you have an opportunity to visit your local Schnitz, Grill’d, or Nando’s restaurant you’ll likely see a combination of industrial and vintage light styling which adorn their premises.
Building Exterior & Security
Need to illuminate your business logo or sign, for the primary purpose of advertising? The vintage appeal and reduction of maintenance is what makes the Frontier so much more affordable, simply install any globe up-to 200W and our product won’t burn out providing the features of a die-hard industrial light at a fraction of the price.
Building Entry
You’ll notice that just about every restaurant in the USA features some sort of outdoor gooseneck to entice customers into their shop. Good, directed, “honest to goodness” lighting can make a difference between enticing customers to walk through your door and looking leaving a bad first impression.
Book Nooks & Artworks
If you’ve spent quality time reviewing all the art that Melbourne (National Gallery of Victoria!) has to offer, you’ll be forgiven having never noticed the overhead lighting above. While track lights can cost many hundred (to thousands) of dollars, the level of lighting investment doesn’t always result in better results – this is why we developed The Frontier Gooseneck Sign Light.
The Backing Plate itself.
Our Die-Cast Wall Backing Plate [WBP-25mm / WBP-20mm] is 120mm in diameter and adds 30mm to your Wall Projections. The mounting screws are 90mm apart (Left/Right) across from each other or 45mm from the Centre Point. You can opt to install your wall backing plate on a 90° Angle in order to affix to 100mm square posts (for example).
Adaptor Bracket
We provide a universal “Adaptor Bracket” that allows you to affix this bracket to your structure using any of your typical fixings (think Timber Screws/Concrete/Masonry Fixings), then affixing your Wall Backing Plate using our supplied 2x 8-32 x3/4″ (M4 sized) Pan Phillips Screws into said Adaptor Bracket.
Waterproofing Gasket
We supply an Australian Made closed cell (waterproofing) gasket designed to fit between your Adaptor Bracket & Wall Backing Plate.
Grub Screws
Two Steel Black (or Silver) Zinc Plated Grub Screws (5/16″ x 3/8″) are supplied to hold your gooseneck in position requiring a 4mm Allen/Hex (not included) tools to clamp in place.
Neoprene Gasket
A synthetic rubber O-Ring is supplied to butt against the internal 25mm Entry (nominally larger due to die-casting) and the 25mm Aluminium Gooseneck Arm (Straight Arm, Sconce, or otherwise).
Recyclable Packaging?
Yup, everything is then packaged into a brown or white paper bag and marked with your colour, size, installation instructions, and any applicable warnings
All Barn Light Lighting takes a common “E27 / Edison Screw / ES / Screw Bulb” that you’ll find at your local hardware, or grocery store.
Yup – We use a ceramic Edison Screw (E27) Lampholder.
Whats.. Better? Ceramic?!
Our ceramic/porcelain Lampholders are simply designed to take as much heat as possible (Yes, We build better lighting than our competitors) without effecting the mounting / electrical cabling. Our outdoor wall lighting is based on decades old, reliable, vintage engineering.
Standard Outdoor Barn Lights – 200W
If you select the “default” arrangement which is simply marked as “Edison Screw Lampholder (No Bulbs Supplied)” – You’ll have the ability to install a 200W Bulb.
Atomic Barn Lighting – 100W
If you select an Accessory such as “Atomic Cast Guard” – When installed with Glass, you’ll be limited to 100W as the sealed glass enclosure becomes a literal heat-trap. You can opt to NOT install the glass at your discretion however Atomic “Fully Integrated LEDs” required the installation of glass at all times.
What you *may* want to know if considering purchasing elsewhere
Our competitors will be supplying you with a thermo-plastic lampholder which gets brittle & cracks over time, with a maximum of 60W being typical (also.. not organic / not recyclable). Need to light up an area? Nope – You’ll now need to install spotlights to find your car in Winter.
What’s.. a Watt?
Back in the olden days of Edison, Tesla & General Electric the creation of tungsten filaments began to light up the world – Simply put, the higher the wattage usage (electricity) the brighter the light. The usage of “Watts” was quite literally a measurement of heat generated since voltages were common (220Volts) and the only element that changed was the amount of electricity drawn. Obviously… Draw too much electricity and things either start to melt, explode, or otherwise provide some dangerous entertainment. So limits were decided upon. That measurement was the basis to how electricity has been integrated with the lighting market ever since. These “modern” days, we use “Lumens” (L) and “Lumens per Watt” (lm/W) to rate lighting output and electricity usage.
Smart Bulbs – When you need a kaleidoscope of colour.
Yes, our lighting is fully compatible however we suggest that you try one bulb in the most furthest away location from your wireless signal. We manufacture with Aluminium, and you’ll likely install your new Barn Lights onto Brick or Concrete walls. Neither of these materials are ideal for wireless signals to penetrate through so tread cautiously.
Yup – We hear you, this is sounding too good to be true for a lighting company.
Frankly (the short answer is “Yes”), we could write a page about this – so we did.. -> Are Barn Lights Dimmable?
For Entryway and Porch Lighting, our Industrial Wall Sconce range would typically be better suited for smaller passages. Older homes typically have newer exterior decking which drops the installation point from 1.8m to any deviation, causing issues obtaining replacement lighting. If you need a SMALLER sized lighting fixture, our SG16 Sconce Gooseneck Arm is highly recommended for smaller shades (especially <30cm).
The standard installation point for these areas is typically 1.8m AFFL (Above Finished Floor Level) for older federation/Queenslander homes. Newer/Modern Homes typically 1.8m~2.1m AFFL based on the purpose of the light.
It’s a visual thing and there’s no rule book that says you HAVE to hang it at a certain height. Have fun with it ~
Our PG12 Petite Arm (20mm) or SG16 Sconce Arms (25mm) are designed with you in mind.
Add 1/2 of the smallest shade diameter of The Frontier Gooseneck Sign Light to the Gooseneck Arm’s to get an overall projection.
PG12 = 30cm Projection
SG16 = 37cm Projection
This is what Barn Lights were made for. You want a large statement piece that throws light where its needed.
We recommend the G15 Gooseneck Arm for areas with walkways underneath, or our G22 Gooseneck Arm where you’ve got both height and projection available to you (probably a new build?)
G15 Gooseneck Arm = 47cm Projection
G22 Gooseneck Arm = 57cm Projection
Both goosenecks are bent the same, however our G22 Gooseneck Arm has a longer “tail” leading to the wall.
| Smaller Mounting Arms | Projection | Drop from Mounting Point |
| PG12 Petite Gooseneck (20mm) | 30cm | 15cm |
| SG16 Gooseneck (25cmm) | 37cm | 18cm |
| Larger Mounting Arms | Projection | Drop (From Mounting Point) |
| G8 Curved Gooseneck | 63cm | 18cm |
| G14 Straight Arm | 35cm | Not Applicable |
| G15 Gooseneck | 47cm | 20cm |
| G22 Gooseneck | 57cm | 20cm |
We all get our hands dirty so (politely!) we’ll require you to book at least two hours prior to visting.
