The Bullet Cast Guard

Our Standard Cast Guard is made from die-cast aluminium, threaded at the base, for affixing to the bottom of our shades & Atomic family of products. Designed to withstand any decent amount of shock to protect the glass and globe within. 90% of customers choose this guard.

Our Thick or 'Heavy Duty' Cast guard is designed to be both idiot and vandal proof. Made using the same die as our Standard, this bulkier cousin is ideal for pubs, clubs, restaurants, and any place you might find flying beer bottles. Ultimately the strongest of our cast guard, it also permits the least amount of light out.

If the ship has sailed, and you want to remember the experience - our Nautical Wire Guard is just for you. Made from steel wire, this guard is designed to allow the most light output while providing some protection. Best used where beach balls and tennis balls are frequently used.

Our simple Clear Glass is designed for the maximum amount of light output you can possibly obtain from any globe. Made from thick glass, light dispersal is rated to a minimum. If you'd like to have an additional styling benefit consider using a vintage styled LED bulb or the typical incandescent bulbs for ambient lighting.

Our frosted glass is manufactured right here at Barn Light. Using our handy sandblaster, the inside of the glass is blasted with a fine garnet media to produce a halo effect around the shade. Best used if a higher wattage bulb is required and you need to hide the hideous thing.

The "prettiest" and most expensive. Hand-blown by master glassblowers in New Jersey, USA, these prismatic or simply 'ribbed' pieces of glass are designed for both ambiance and lighting brilliance. Enjoy the shadows dancing upon your wall while dining and entertaining.

Our Standard Ceramic E27 (Edison 27mm) Lampholder that suits "screw in bulbs". You can find your preferred 27mm ES bulbs at your local hardware store. Maximum Wattage is 60W where Glass is installed, 100W without. Yes, you can use LED bulbs, Smart Bulbs, and frankly all that will fit (70mm or less in diameter)

We call this 'dumb wired' since there is nothing between the lamp holder and the supply wires. Input Voltage is [email protected]

*** No warranty applies for LED units installed without Glass! ***

Our "designed for purpose" Atomic LED lighting uses a integrated LED fitting courtesy of the Research & Design Efforts of Barn Light USA & CREE Lighting USA. We have engineered a 42V Dimmable Driver, custom engineered Heatsink, coupled with a high performance CXA2520 LED Module to provide an unparalleled lighting solution to a variety of environments. Lumen Output is 1600lm.

All fittings are provided with a purposely designed atomic enclosure for wall mounting, flexible, and fixed stem installations. The installation method to install these units is the same as our standard atomic fittings.
Input Voltage is [email protected] to the driver, Output Voltage is 42V. LED draw varies, please refer to our Fully Integrated LED Modules page for further information.

2700K refers to the colour spectrum of light that we commonly associate with candle light, home, sunset, and the soft dancing of flames of the fireplace. Most Australians will have grown up under the warmth and homely atmosphere we can associate with incandescent lighting.

For the Consumer: This is the light that you are probably most familiar with seeing around the home. The warm glow is reminiscent of the sunset or a flame. Common applications area: Bedrooms & Living Rooms

4000K - When you require precision, clarity, and a clean environment. When you need precision and the ability to see your subject clearly, cool white lighting is ideal. These color temperatures are going to be 4000K or higher for specialist applications.

For the Consumer / Mechanic: If you are using your garage as a work space, and are tired of trying to find that 13mm socket that's fell in the entire for n'th time today, you will want to use clean crisp lighting. This will bring clarity to any project you are working on and create the safest working environment.

For the Designer: Compared to a clothing retail (3500K) store, supermarkets typically opt for a slightly higher color temperature. This creates a better environment for examining foods and also makes the colours pop to make marketing packaging more appealing.

Note for the Designers: We do NOT recommend colour temperatures over 3500K for retail environments as a these light sources are more commonly "too blue" and can make customers look unhealthy. This leads them to leave the store without making a purchase.. and looking for sunglasses. 4000K~5000K has specialist lighting applications, namely medical, warehousing, and sports stadiums.
