Craftsman outdoor lighting takes many forms and North Church encapsulates the pure quality and geometry of such fixtures. The sharp angles of the North Church frame are nicely complemented by the curves of the ornamental rods adorning the outdoor wall lights. Combining Victorian and Craftsman elements, Maxim Lighting has created a astonishing example of traditional outdoor lighting sophistication, complete with a “steeple” decorating the top of each fixture.

The North Church outdoor lighting family features elegant post lights and two varieties of outdoor wall lights. My personal favorite of these choices is easily the North Church Craftsman outdoor wall up-light, which measures an impressive 19″ high and 6″ wide and extends from the wall by 7″. Mimicking the glory and balance of classic church architecture, these North Church outdoor lights will really put you in a devoutly fashionable mood.

Canyon Outdoor Lights by Hinkley Lighting

If you long for that strong outdoor look for your home’s decor, look no further than the latest family of outdoor lights by Hinkley Lighting. Canyon seamlessly merges the rough geometric shapes of its frames and Forged Iron finish with the soft illumination created by its lush Honey Art Glass panels. And the Canyon outdoor lights live up to their name, protecting nature by being available in energy saving, Dark Sky compliant, fluorescent lighting, and LED outdoor lighting models. These fixtures will save you money while saving Mother Nature from wasted energy, all at the same time.

The Canyon Craftsman outdoor lights really create a sensible vibe in your outside home landscape, and would look lovely brightening up your front door, porch, garage, or garden path.

My favorite of the Canyon family is the wall sconce, which measures 10″ high, 7″ wide, and extends from the wall by 8″. While the Canyon frames are all roughly the same, each fixture has its own sense of character and will create a lovely ambiance on your patio or back porch. Keep a lookout for Canyon outdoor lights on BrilliantOutdoors.com–these fixtures are super new, but available on the website.

Berkeley Outdoor Lighting from Arroyo Craftsman

Arroyo Craftsman has done it again, releasing a lovely new collection of outdoor lights called Berkeley. These lights are as smart and charming as they sound and are extremely versatile. Finish options include Verdigris Patina, Raw Copper, Mission Brown, Bronze, Rustic Brown, Antique Brass, Antique Copper, Pewter, Slate, Satin Black, and Polished Nickel. (Please note: Antique Brass, Antique Copper, and Polished Nickel finishes recommended for indoor use only.)

Antique Brass

Raw Copper

The glass options are equally diverse. Choose from Gold White Iridescent, White Opalescent, Frosted, Clear Seedy, Rain Mist, Off White, Cream, Tan, Almond Mica, and Amber Mica. (Though Mica options are not recommended for outdoor use and should only be used with 60 watt maximum bulbs to prevent warping.)

Amber Mica

Rain Mist

Gold White Iridescent

Clearly my favorite finish combination is the Verdigris Patina finish paired with the Gold White Iridescent glass. This pairing really highlights the rustic style and craftsman lighting design that Arroyo Craftsman is known for. These outdoor light fixtures have an incredibly solid and sturdy presence, as though they could weather any storm and have been around for time untold. There’s an almost Tin Man-esque feel to them, evoking memories of fairy tales from childhood.

But the Berkeley outdoor lighting family is no myth. These light fixtures range from outdoor hanging lights to post lights to outdoor wall lights. I’m immediately drawn to the outdoor post light from Berkeley. I can easily picture this lamp post proudly weathering the elements in both the most rural farmland or the most cosmopolitan metropolis. The post lantern measures 13.25″ high with a diameter of 8.375″ and would add a charming, rustic touch to any craftsman style home, gracing the driveway or an outdoor path with a hint of practical elegance.

Avenue outdoor wall light fixtures definitely remind me of classic Tudor style homes, with all of the strict, geometric lines combined with natural colors. The Craftsman style lighting design of these fixtures is timeless, an ode to functionality married to form. The fixtures come in a number of sizes, ranging from 10″ to 15″ high and 6″ or 8″ wide, depending on your outdoor lighting needs. I think that Avenue wall sconces would be a perfect addition to any front door or garage, especially if you’re going for that Old English vibe.

Hinkley Lighting Sierra Outdoor Lights

There is something raw and powerful about the latest outdoor lights from Hinkley Lighting. Sierra, a lighting family of pendants and wall sconces, has a decidedly natural vibe, even while showcasing geometric craftsman style frames. The finish options are the most interesting aspect to me; the aluminum frame comes in a Spanish Bronze finish and the glass is available in a clear seedy and stone finish.

While these craftsman lights definitely have a cosmopolitan feel, there is also a soft, almost windblown, chaotic element to them. Something undefined, something unique. The variations in Sierra’s glass gives these outdoor fixtures their own character.

The vertical outdoor wall light that complements Sierra’s matching hanging pendant light and square wall sconce is by far one of my favorites of Hinkley Lighting’s newest fixtures. (Product Page: http://www.brilliantoutdoors.com/hin-1454sb.html) Measuring 13″ high by 6″ wide and projecting from the wall 7″, this wall light is a classic example of craftsman attention to detail. And one of the best options for this fixture is definitely that it also comes in an energy efficient model, saving you tons of electricity. That’s good news for you AND your electric bill.

Forecast Lighting Telluride Outdoor Lights

If Little Red Riding Hood needed to find her way back home after visiting Grandma, I’m pretty sure these are the outdoor light fixtures she’d look for to illuminate her path. The latest craftsman style outdoor lighting family from Forecast Lighting is named Telluride, and these sturdy, masculine fixtures are the perfect addition to any woodsy, rustic style home or lodge. Suitable for the wettest, darkest forest, the Bronze Patina finish just glows with a natural sensibility and the Parchment Artglass with Etched Serpentine designs mimics the naturally occurring curves and rings in trees–”The better to see you with, my dear!”

The Telluride outdoor lamp post (Product Page: http://www.brilliantoutdoors.com/for-f8548-50.html) has a beautifully simple geometric design that complements any cabin path, and is refined without being pretentious. The head fixture of this outdoor lantern is 16″ high with an 8″ square base and uses one medium 100w light bulb. Bright enough to keep the Big Bad Wolf away and subtle enough for Goldilocks’ refined tastes.

Forecast Lighting’s Telluride outdoor wall sconce (Project Page: http://www.brilliantoutdoors.com/for-f8546-50.html) is available in three convenient sizes so you can match these fixtures to any craftsman style decor. The largest light is 16″ h x 10″ w x 5″ proj., the middle size is 12″ h x 8″ w x 5″ proj., and the smallest size is 9″ h x 5″ w x 4″ proj. “Just right!” for any Papa Bear, Mama Bear, and Baby Bear, respectively.
