If the scraping of autumn leaves on the asphalt reminds you of spooky tales such as W.W. Jacobs’s “The Monkey’s Paw”, then you are in for a metaphysical treat in this post. This LED path light by Kichler Outdoor Lights is so clever that it’s scary! It’s lifespan is 55,000 hours compared to a mere 1,200 hours of an incandescent. Why the long life span? Technology. But this post hints of the supernatural. Can a simple landscape lighting fixture enhance your youth and beauty?

Not all Egyptian motifs are cursed. However, in the vintage The Twilight Zone episode, “The Queen of the Nile” the scarab held youth-stealing power. In contrast, the pyramid shaped LED path light  is much more likely to prolong your life and good health.

How? Decline in health usually begins after a broken hip from a fall after age 50. Installing low voltage landscape lighting of any kind can keep you from trips and falls. Trips and falls are usually the first major injury that occurs with aging. This injury snowballs and oftentimes causes further ill health because the individual is sedentary during the recuperation period. Bone density decreases because of lack of weight-bearing exercise such as walking. These easy to install 8” in ground mount stakes are included so that your Pyramid LED landscape lighting fixture can illuminate your garden walkway this very night. Walk over now to your computer and order this LED outdoor lighting fixture to preserve your youth and mobility!

It’s not the mystic pyramid that gives you youth and health. Or is it? Pamela Morris, the fictional character in “The Queen of the Nile” decorated her home with the Eye of Horus and gold leaf accessories. It’s likely that her vanity table had a few snake-shaped cosmetic holders too. Her timeless beauty is credited to her nasty bug, the enchanted scarab. It didn’t hurt that she was born, the famous beauty, Cleopatra of Ancient Egypt. Just don’t threaten to blab about her beauty secrets like Jordan Herrick did.

Add an exotic air to your yard with these low voltage LED pyramid path lights. You don’t have to own a sprawling place to enjoy the mysteries of ancient Egypt. Daydream about the temple of Karnak or the throne chair of King Tut. What do you think of the supernatural? What would you do with several lifetimes?

Potter Family Mediterranean Victorian Outdoor Lighting by Troy Lighting

Outdoor Lighting Victorian Potter by Troy Lighting

Vintage Outdoor Lighting Victorian Mediterranean by Troy Lighting

My heart flutters when I find vintage outdoor lights but not for reasons you might think.  Usually Victorian vintage lighting seems to neglect the Mediterranean home decor preferences of men. Not this collection!

Troy Outdoor Lighting’s Potter family Victorian outdoor lighting hints of the dynamic second English Renaissance! How can I tell? When you study the quiet design of the Potter Victorian post light, you’ll see that it takes an energy efficient light, fluorescent bulbs. The Victorian Great Exhibition in 1851 boasted technological advances and industrial machinery of the time. This energy saver follows that innovative tradition. Men rejoice!

This is my favorite masculine Mediterranean Victorian family of lights. Some call the Victorian era the beginning of modern times! In other words, Victorian design is not just for lace-loving women. Men can select Victorian outdoor lighting too! Let me explain. Though the scroll accents of this Victorian Mediterranean wall lighting may signal prudishness to contemporary viewers, this period was the start of radical ideas in science and politics. Murmurs of feminism were beginning in England and America even as women wore uncomfortable corsets.

See the Mediterranean decor of Troy Lighting’s Potter hanging wall light and you’ll observe a dignified lighting fixture. Notice that the whole Potter family of lights, not just the 11”wide and 33 ¼” high wall lights, features both gothic and medieval overtones. Did you know that this light is hand-forged in the fired iron finish of Victorian style? You don’t need to graduate from an exclusive private school such as Eton or Harrow to know that this vintage outdoor lighting alludes to the time period of Lewis Carroll, Oscar Wilde, Karl Marx and Charles Darwin. Add Sigmund Freud to the mix and you’ll see that though the Mediterranean outdoor lighting of the time was graceful, the period was full of exciting events and ideas!

Purchase the Potter family of outdoor lights with incandescent lights for its attractiveness or fluorescent energy saving features. The wall light is convertible. You can choose long tail or short tail. Amber mist glass glows from the fluorescent model and seeded glass protects the incandescent light.  Sit under these lights on a warm evening and study the rise of the Victorian middle class and upheaval of aristocracy by the newly moneyed commercial merchants.  A classic work of literature such as Alice Through the Looking Glass will expand your mind too.

You’ll be refreshed to learn that the Victorian era was not a closed-minded time in history. I also hope you are convinced that Victorian decor is for dudes too! You’ll have a rich reminder of history to light your way home because of Troy Lighting.
