    [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.

The Universal is one of our most distinct silhouettes, characterized by its elegant fluted neck and wide-flaring dome. By merging the Stem Mount and Flush Mount into a single versatile listing, you can now choose the perfect profile for your height requirements without compromising on that iconic “Queenslander” aesthetic.

The Universal: Stem & Flush Mount Ceiling Light

The Universal is a masterclass in transitional design, blending the rugged soul of a historic warehouse shade with a decorative, banded neck that exudes elegance. Whether you are aiming for a classic Farmhouse feel or the breezy sophistication of a Hamptons-style home, the Universal provides a broad, definitive glow that transforms any space.

Refined Mounting Options

  • The Flush Mount: Our premier choice for “Queenslander” styling. By mounting close to the ceiling, it provides extra usable height while ensuring an even light dispersal that highlights your walls and floors. Perfect for walk-in wardrobes, hallways, or laundry spaces.

  • The Stem Pendant: For those seeking a designer focal point, the Stem Mount offers a rigid, architectural drop. This is the ideal choice for accent lighting over kitchen sinks or flanking cabinetry, providing a modern elegance that stands up to the rigours of a busy home.

Iconic Design & Craftsmanship

Available in two sizes – 25cm & 35cm, the Universal is manufactured from our own custom molds to ensure the decorative fluting is crisp and consistent. While available in a vast array of powder-coated colours, it truly shines in our best-selling Faux-Galvanised finish – a customer favourite for achieving that authentic metallic look.

Weather Protection & IP Upgrades

  • Standard IP44 Rating: As standard, the Universal is rated IP44, making it resistant to splashes and moisture. It is a choice for bathrooms, powder rooms, and protected alfresco areas.

  • IP55 Weatherproof Upgrade: For more demanding environments, you can select the IP55 Upgrade at checkout. This includes a specialized cast assembly and protective glass, upgrading the fixture to withstand dust ingress and low-pressure water jets.

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.
