Bodies are usually metal—commonly steel or iron. Shades are often glass, metal, or wire‑cage constructions. Finishes include galvanized or cold‑rolled steel and other industrial metal treatments.
Many use the standard E26 (Edison medium) screw base and accept LED, incandescent, or CFL bulbs. Some fixtures have integrated, non‑replaceable LED assemblies.
Common certifications include UL Listed and ETL Listed; some listings also show FCC certification. Certain styles (for example, gooseneck barn‑style shades) are UL‑listed for wet locations.
Adjustable options include swing or pivoting arms, gooseneck arms, pulley‑style height adjustments, and wide‑angle tilt mechanisms (examples list up to 240° of directional adjustment).
Installation varies: many fixtures are hardwired, some offer plug‑in or combined plug‑in/hardwire options, and a few are cordless—battery‑powered with integrated LED modules.
Controls vary: inline (cord) rocker switches, push‑button controls, and touch sensors appear in listings. Most provide simple on/off operation; some listings specify full‑range dimmability.
Common finishes include matte black, sage green with matte brass accents, oil‑rubbed bronze, and galvanized metal finishes.
