    [DLQ] - Dulux Lexicon Quarter

    Lexicon® Quarter has a cool, fresh, modern appearance, particularly when applied to walls and trims. This finish will provide a seamless up-to-date style to your home, extending that look, feel, and style using a Barn Light ;). Powdercoat is a different product to paint, not all powdercoats look like paints, and the variance in satins, gloss levels, and matte level vary dramatically.

    WS975-Galvanised Appendum


    WS975-Galvanised is a premium, hand-painted finish manufactured from quality fine metallic paints and Acrylic Etch Primers designed to age with the building and surrounds.
    You'll be probably asking yourself, "Is it Steel?". The answer is NO, it is not. Its hand-dabbed automotive quality paint formula, sprayed by our employees.

    1. This paint/finish is expensive - 8Ltrs of this formula costs $800.
    2. We haven't changed paint formulation since 2014, (Changed in March 2026) and we've got this old finish installed at Seaworld (yes, that one) for the past 15 years.
    3. We don't keep stock - All parts needs to be batched. The pattern changes subtly based on the operator.
    4. Lead-times vary a touch more than usual due to the labour required to achieve this finish.

    By checking this box, you acknowledge that Warranties were limited to two-years from the date of purchase for this finish, as aging is a desired effect.
    Orders placed after March 2026 will receive a 3-Year Warranty in line with our existing Warranties.

The full story

Design notes · materials · how it lives outdoors

The Universal Chain Hung Pendant is a stylish and versatile lighting solution that would be a great addition to any space. Available in a range of vibrant colours, this pendant allows you to add a pop of colour to your home or office. Whether you want to make a statement or complement your existing decor, the variety of colours makes it easy for you to find the perfect fit.

You’ve seen them hanging from the ceilings of trendy restaurants and bars. Now, you can easily create a similar look in your own home with these beautiful chain hung pendants! These stunning light fixtures are now available for purchase at Barn Light. This Universal Shade design features a tall sloped neck that fans out into a sleek rounded warehouse shade devoid of hard edges which creates its “Classic” features. The Universal Chain Hung  Pendant is accented further by the large beaded necklines that it shares with the Astro Shallow Bowl Warehouse Shade.

The Universal Pendant hung on a cord of your choice is sure to complement your space, whether its an industrial farmhouse kitchen, Queensland weatherboard home, or a hidden holiday house in the Southern Hinterlands. We’ve been manufacturing these metal warehouse lights based on the designs from the early 1900s, so you can trust Barn Light – We know what we’re doing when it comes to making them look good.

Our customers love how the Universal makes their houses feel like farmhouse homes, a more modern look while still maintaining a definitively rustic feel.
If you want something with a little bit of character, and a focused light dispersal – this is definitely the product for you!

About the Semi-Deep Bowl Design

The Universal Chain Hung Pendant features a modern sloped neck line with semi-deep warehouse shade design that people love! Featuring a contemporary/industrial inspired suspension chain, this offers a long lasting rustic chic which will blend effortlessly into homes and offices built in all styles from country style farmhouses to ultra modern apartments.

High quality materials are chosen exclusively by our engineers for their superior hallmarks — such as strength, durability, as well, being Australian Made never hurt anyone. We’ve combined our trademark sloped & thick beaded neck that mellows into a well rounded bell shaped dome, the use of our Zinc Plated Chain means you can re-sit the pendant height in a matter of seconds.

Which one would you buy?

Our 35cm Universal is best described as Homestead/Farm House Design 101 – If your area needs prominence, the Universal will become a striking conversational piece – You’ll love our 35cm Shade, proportionately larger than the 25cm variant, the 35cm Universal is more “Deep Bowl” than our Original Chain Hung Warehouse Shades,

giving you an easier time selecting from the “Warehouse Lighting” Original and “Deep Bowl Lighting” Wesco Family of Barn Lights!
The 25cm Universal Warehouse Pendant is a smaller, petite shade which is our smallest 25cm Warehouse Shade in terms of height and proportions (Even smaller than The Austin Wall Light!). Industrial lighting and a rustic look are what you need for the perfect farmhouse kitchen, the Universal provides this and more!

Can I use the Universal Outdoors?

This pendant has an outdoor rated chain suspension and brings timeless charm to your home with its semi-deepbowl shape. The Universal is great for indoor use and excellent for outdoor usage, rated IP44 (IP55 with Atomic Unit!) which means it’s safe for water! With the lamp holder recessed deep within the neck of the 35cm Universal, you can brighten up an intimate space with mellowed lighting. Concerned that the 25cm Universal Shade might be a touch “too small” for full weather exposure, we recommend installation in undercover areas.

Love the Universal but need a different mounting solution. What’s the difference???

Our Universal Chain Hung Pendants are comprised of a modern beaded (cascading) neck paired with a semi-deepbowl lighting dispersal. As an alternative, our 43cm Old Dixie Chain Hung Pendant is designed for deeper “shallow bowl” style, for example areas requiring a more dispersed lighting plan such as Kitchen Islands with short ceilings.

Our 35cm Universal Chain Hung Pendants are ideal for kitchen island lighting & suspended from pergolas. We sell many more 35cm Universals than 25cm mostly due to the height difference, a majority of our 25cm Universals are sold as The Universal Wall Light.
