A beautiful landscape deserves beautiful lighting CAST Rugged, beautiful, well designed, and economical - this describes CAST solid bronze fixtures. They are hand-made by skilled artisans using the ancient technique of sand-casting, then assembled with the highest grade of stainless steel sockets and tin-coated wire. These fixtures are unmatched as professional tools for the Lighting Designer. The creation of CAST fixtures was a collaboration of lighting designers, lighting installers, and experts in metallurgy and engineering. The intention was simple, create fixtures that are impervious to corrosion; are unbreakable; are easy to install, adjust, and maintain; and have lasting beauty.
SPJ SPJ uses copper and Brass lighting fixtures that are handcrafted in the U.S.A. Why does SPJ use copper and brass fixtures? Copper is a natural metal that has time tested immunity to oxidation. It has been used for centuries in many applications where it was vital that rust and corrosion would not affect its function. It has survived unchanged since the beginning of time with the exception of turning a natural "Patina" or "Verde" color. Brass is an alloy derived from copper and has the same corrosion resistant properties. Copper and Brass can never rust, rot, or corrode, even in the harshest outdoor environments. This is why these metals are really the only choice for outdoor lighting. We've all seen what happens to many other types of outdoor fixtures that have been in the garden for any length of time, they have either rotted away to dust or the painted finishes are virtually non-existent. SPJ uses a chemical process to add a finish to its Copper and Brass fixtures, they do NOT paint or powder coat their fixtures. This chemical process basically accelerates what would happen naturally to the Copper and Brass to create the finish you desire. |
