    G4 Small Factory Arm

    Our G4 Small Straight Arm is appropriately smaller - It is petite enough for us to justify inclusion into our "Wall Light" range. If you purchase the smallest shade of any Wall Light Configuration, the G4 will be most suitable, if you buy anything else above 30cm - We'll likely give you a call to find a solution for your space. What does it look like? The G4 Small Straight Arm looks exactly like our G14, with a shorter projection. The projection of the arm is 21cm;  Need to know how projection works? 

    Please ask your electrician what size conduit is being run (20mm / 25mm), and the orientation of the conduit.
    Whilst looking directly at your new light on your wall, identify what side the conduit will be coming from, into the Heavy Duty Backing Plate

    [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 Compact Farmhouse Choice: A pint-sized powerhouse packed with farmhouse charm. Projecting from a robust straight arm, this space-conscious design perfectly compliments the timeless style of our Original shade, condensed into a small, highly versatile size.

Are you looking for the perfect light for a smaller space? Designed to bring old-world charm into any bedroom, hallway, or reading nook, the Bowie Factory Wall Light features a compact “Straight Arm” design crafted from durable aluminium. This robust Australian-made construction ensures long-lasting beauty without taking up precious space. Enjoy the rustic vibe of this charming wall sconce while still benefiting from modern-day functionality, energy-saving LED bulbs, and convenient mounting options.

Standard IP44 & Caged IP55 Protection

You can rely on our unique powder coat finishes to survive the harsh Australian elements, meaning you never have to worry about repairs or replacements.

  • Standard IP44: The sleek base model offers an excellent waterproof rating. It is perfectly suited for general outdoor applications and patios, while being an ideal, space-conscious fit for indoor settings.

  • IP55 Caged Upgrade: Fortify your fixture with an IP55 outdoor rating. The addition of the cage silhouette provides more depth and light dispersal, creating a highly appealing, clean aesthetic while delivering maximum weather resistance against heavy rain and coastal conditions.

Versatile Eye-Level & Indirect Lighting

The Bowie Factory Wall Light is masterfully designed for versatility. With a distinct focus on eye-level lighting, it is ideal for task lighting or simply providing a soft, ambient glow to your chosen area.

The Perfect Small-Space Solution

While larger warehouse shades dominate expansive commercial spaces or large facades, the Bowie provides all the heritage and durability of our industrial lines in a compact, highly functional footprint. This makes it an absolute favourite for residential renovations looking to add a touch of authentic farmhouse charm to bedside walls, bathrooms, or intimate outdoor seating areas.

Expanding the Bowie Lighting Range

If you are looking for a classy, space-conscious lighting solution for your bedroom, bathroom, and outdoor areas, the Bowie is exactly what you need.

Our range of crisp White finishes makes it especially easy to clean, while our new range of metallic finishes makes deciding on a striking colour palette easier than ever. Not looking to mix styles? Our matching Bowie ceiling lights, pendant lights, chain hung lights, and decorative chandeliers can give you a cohesive farmhouse or vintage look across your entire property.

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.

When the gooseneck won’t fit

A barn light for walls that can’t give an inch.

Sometimes the wall doesn’t have 50 cm of clearance — over a roller door, between two windows, under a low eave. The Factory is the answer: the same hand-spun RLM Standard Dome as our Original Gooseneck, on a low-profile extruded-aluminium arm that needs only minimal clearance off the wall. Choose your size, your arm and your cage; we make it to order.
