    [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.

Interior Wall Light

The Universal Wall Light can be used in a variety of indoor spaces – consider it installed within your bedroom, above your bedroom headboards, traditionally along your hallway, alongside your kitchen cupboards, or to simply highlight your entryway doors. We find a significant amount of customers are renovating their outdoor entertaining areas with small clusters of Universals (typically around the entryways) to provide a soft ambience of light from entryway into the home.

Our Wall Lights comes complete with your selection of powdercoated outdoor (and coastal) rated finishes for added sophistication. We manufacture all of our wall lighting for the great outdoors, the Universal Cottage Wall Light is no exception. The average Australian modern home can always benefit from a range of traditional lighting designs, and the modern coastal Hamptons home almost always features some vintage soul.

Whether that be rattan, recovered timber, or linens – Make a lasting impression with our Outdoor Universal Wall Light that can withstand the Aussie Sun and climate.
The Universal is both practical and stylish when used indoors and outdoors, easy to clean (especially the Flat White!), and frankly inspiring to look at. Considering if the Universal Cottage Wall Light is ideal for your home? We think its the right choice for you!

Hamptons Styled Wall Light

A seemingly popular renovation is to add a Universal Wall Light over Bathroom Cabinets ie. Hamptons style lighting by carefully selecting their colours, of which Flat White is a highly recommended choice by interior designers.

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.

Hand-spun in Carrum Downs

Spun, caged and wired by hand — built to face the weather.

Each shade is hand-spun from a single disc of aluminium on a lathe in our Carrum Downs workshop, just south of Melbourne. We fit the cast guard and seeded glass, powdercoat it in your finish and wire it to order — aluminium won’t rust, so it holds its colour on a coastal porch the way steel never could. No two are stamped from a press; each one is shaped, finished and tested by a person.
