The shades are both 15cm in height, however have different widths; 30cm for the Astro and 38cm for the Hobart. Proportionately, the Hobart looks much larger than the Astro when compared side by-side. The Astro features a very “short skirt” or shade brim providing more light dispersal at a 180° angle, some of which is captured by the slight drop at the shade brim, whereas the Hobart has a wider and pronounced cone shape, leaving cleaner lines from the top to the bottom of the shade.Can I use the Hobart Wall Light Outdoors?

Frequently Answered Questions
Can I use a sensor on a Barn Light? aka. "Sensors? Dusk-to-Dawn? Timers?"
Yes – We have been developing our lighting for years and it is ready to integrate with any sensor on the market today. Your electrician, or related professional will work closely with you to determine which solution best suits your needs, but don’t worry: to put it simply, buying a Barn Light is the easy part of your lighting plan.
The types of sensors available on the market today are microwave (movement), lux meters (during dusk-to dawn periods), and PIR Sensors for night (heat sensor). The best solution for you will depend upon your local conditions, thus supplying a motion sensor isn’t under the purview of the lighting products we provide.Â
For example: If you live in an area with nocturnal life, you wouldn’t want to install a motion sensor in your backyard covering a large amount of area. For similar reasons, you wouldn’t want a heat sensor covering the sunset as stone holds heat for a long period of time. Some video cameras these days now have a “pre-determined scope” or area of control to focus on, ignoring all else such as a driveway, ignoring the surrounds.
What's the Light's Projection?
As every Barn Light is unique, every projection depends on a variety of factors.
We’ve written a “how to” article to make measurement easier for designers and specifiers with a quick array of mounting arms to assist you with making sure everything fits nicely in your new space.
What Size is the Wall Backing Plate?

Are Barn Lights Dimmable?
For Entryway and Porch Lighting, our Industrial Wall Light range would typically be better suited for smaller passages. Older homes typically have newer exterior decking which drops the installation point from 1.8m to any deviation, causing issues obtaining replacement lighting. If you need a SMALLER sized lighting fixture, our SG16 Sconce Gooseneck Arm is highly recommended for smaller shades (especially <30cm).
The standard installation point for these areas is typically 1.8m AFFL (Above Finished Floor Level) for older federation/Queenslander homes. Newer/Modern Homes typically 1.8m~2.1m AFFL based on the purpose of the light.Â
It’s a visual thing and there’s no rule book that says you HAVE to hang it at a certain height. Have fun with it ~Â
Our PG12 Petite Arm (20mm) or SG16 Sconce Arms (25mm) are designed with you in mind.
Add 1/2 of the smallest shade diameter of The Hobart Gooseneck Barn Light to the Gooseneck Arm’s to get an overall projection.
PG12 = 30cm Projection
SG16 = 37cm Projection
This is what Barn Lights were made for. You want a large statement piece that throws light where its needed.Â
We recommend the G15 Gooseneck Arm for areas with walkways underneath, or our G22 Gooseneck Arm where you’ve got both height and projection available to you (probably a new build?)
G15 Gooseneck Arm = 47cm Projection
G22 Gooseneck Arm = 57cm Projection
Both goosenecks are bent the same, however our G22 Gooseneck Arm has a longer “tail” leading to the wall.
| Smaller Mounting Arms | Projection | Drop from Mounting Point |
| PG12 Petite Gooseneck (20mm) | 30cm | 15cm |
| SG16 Gooseneck (25cmm) | 37cm | 18cm |
| Larger Mounting Arms | Projection | Drop (From Mounting Point) |
| G8 Curved Gooseneck | 63cm | 18cm |
| G14 Straight Arm | 35cm | Not Applicable |
| G15 Gooseneck | 47cm | 20cm |
| G22 Gooseneck | 57cm | 20cm |
