    [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.

    These beautiful G95 LED Globes won't fit within the IP55 Upgrade, if you happen to buy these by accident - we'll swap out for the suitable ones (ST64) upon despatch.

    Cages are not required to be installed to obtain IP55 Rating, Glass is a hard requirement. We recommend caged installation in areas prone to glass breakage (to minimise shards upon being impacted).

    Please note that IP55 Ratings are only valid where the glass is installed and installation completed per our installation instructions.

Experience the perfect blend of style and practicality. A sleek industrial design that’s built for durability and modern aesthetics. The Bowie is a standout because of its clean, non-beaded lip/rim. This gives it a sharper, more modern “industrial-chic” edge compared to the traditional rolled edges of your other warehouse shades. A fixture that feels at home in a high-end bathroom renovation as it does in a contemporary garden patio.


The Bowie: Stem & Flush Mount Ceiling Light

The Bowie is designed for those who appreciate a cleaner, more streamlined silhouette. Unlike many traditional Barn Lights, the Bowie features a flat, non-beaded lip that highlights its sleek, angled profile. This modern spin on a classic shape makes it a versatile statement piece, capable of elevating a minimalist interior or providing a sophisticated touch to outdoor entertaining areas.

Stylish & Functional Mounting

  • The Stem Pendant: The ultimate outdoor lighting solution. Its rigid stem design allows for versatile placement—hang it low over an outdoor dining table for intimate task lighting or higher up for broad, ambient illumination. Pairing multiple Bowie Stems together creates a powerful architectural statement for larger patios and balconies.

  • The Flush Mount: A stunning addition for interior rooms where you want to maintain a high-end feel without sacrificing vertical space. Designed with the latest trends in mind, the Flush Mount configuration brings a touch of sophistication to hallways, laundry rooms, and contemporary ensuites.

Quality That Stands the Test of Time

The Bowie is built with top-notch materials and an obsessive attention to detail. Available in a diverse range of powder-coated colours, it allows you to match your existing décor or create a bold new look. Whether used indoors or out, its durable construction ensures it remains a “black beauty” (or any colour you choose!) for years to come.

Engineered for the Elements

The Bowie is as practical as it is beautiful, designed specifically to withstand moisture and weather.

  • Standard IP44 Rating: Fully protected against splashing water from any angle. This makes the Bowie a safe and stylish choice for bathrooms, damp-prone areas, and outdoor covered spaces.

  • The IP55 Weatherproof Upgrade: For total peace of mind in more exposed settings—such as coastal gardens or open-sided patios—the IP55 Upgrade is available. This surcharge-based option adds our specialized cast assembly and protective glass to fully shield the fixture from the elements.

Materials & craft

Every shade is hand-spun in our Carrum Downs workshop — shaped on a lathe, not pressed in a die. We work in aluminium for three reasons:

  • It’s light. A spun-aluminium shade weighs a fraction of a steel equivalent, easier to ship and mount, with less load on brackets, arms, and ceiling roses.
  • It doesn’t corrode. Steel rusts. Aluminium doesn’t — even in coastal salt or humid climates. Powdercoat seals it; the underlying metal stays sound for the long haul.
  • It takes more skill to spin. Aluminium is softer and less forgiving than steel, so a clean shade silhouette is a craft outcome, not a stamping outcome. Every shade passes through a spinner’s hands before it reaches yours.

Barn light, the way it was meant to be made

The Original — tight to the ceiling.

“The Original” is the shade that started it all: a hand-spun RLM warehouse dome born for 1920s factory ceilings. Mounted flush or semi-flush, it tucks the same honest shape against the ceiling for porches, hallways and low rooms. We spin the aluminium, powdercoat it and wire the die-cast ceiling canopy to order in Melbourne — no cheap copy, the real thing.
