Exquisite in design and taste, the lighting company Minka Lavery creates high quality lighting fixtures in many styles. Whether you choose a fixture in Roman Bronze or quaint walnut, the unarguable charm of their products is a welcome addition to any home. Individually blown glass coverings and precision crafted metal Minka lighting fixtures set these light mounts apart from your average ones. Their line consists of several different types of outdoor lights, including chain-hung, post mount, wall mount and flush mount. Choosing the right style can be simple if you already know exactly what you
want. If you aren’t sure what these different styles are, read on for a detailed explanation of each one. While they are all suitable for use outdoors, these mounts have different intended functions depending on the style chosen.
Wall Mount
Perhaps the most sought out type of Minka Lavery outdoor lighting, the wall mounts are designed to provide light at key locations around the home. Most prominently the wall mount is placed at the front door and back door to provide light for visitors and for convenience. The beauty of the Minka Lavery wall mount stands prominently at the entrance of your home. Taking the time to choose a Lavery mount of your particular style gives owners the ability to match the perfect mount with the style of their home. The Vintage Rust Harrington light, for example, features exquisite clear beveled glass and an elegant curved are to give the impression it is hanging from the mount. For a warmer look, the Dorian Bronze mount filters light through Double French scavo glass for accentuating detail. The artsy style is achieved through the use of a Dorian Bronze finish on the metal frame.
Flush Mount
A flush light is simply a term used to describe lights mounted on the ceiling. Minka Lavery makes several light designs of this type. Placement for this type of mount is generally located on patios, overhangs, and above front doors. The mount is designed to be flush with the ceiling to both blend in and accent the surrounding features. It can be used on drywall, stucco and more if proper installation is done. Their Vintage Rust design is accented with seeded glass panels for a unique look while lit. The glass is partially opaque with tiny seeded fragments infused within the panels. The rustic frame delivers a quaint and classy charm. This Minka outdoor lighting model is UL approved to be used in moist conditions. It is not intended to be directly exposed to rain. The nature of this mount style is to provide lighting to a relatively large area, such as a sitting area under a porch or to a front door entryway. Minka Lavery outdoor lighting is designed with resistance against weather and can be used without worry of damage and wear.
Post Mounts
Post lighting offers a more flexible outdoor lighting solution than ones restricted to walls and ceilings. Post lights are designed to stand freely using a freestanding base. They can add a distinct flavor to areas like gardens, walkway paths and pool areas. A big bonus to these Minka lights is that they require no installation. Some assembly may be required upon delivery. A popular post light is of the Mossoro Walnut design which features a soft walnut brown accented with subtle silver trim blended into the main color. The glass panels are unique in design in that they have a rippling water effect which Minka calls “water glass”. This is known as a medium sized mount which stands just less than two feet tall. It works best to place a mount of this height on a structure such as a table. The power coat is durable enough to resist fading over time. Light bulbs are included for your convenience.
Chain Hung Mount
Similar to the flush mount, chain hung mounts hang from a metal chain attached to the ceiling. This provides a more prominent vantage point from which your Minka lights can be displayed. The chain is adjustable and is able to adapt to most any conditions. The power supply runs inconspicuously through the chain and down to the mount. The Heritage Burwick mount is a great classic design made from durable cast aluminum. Four different mount sizes are available which can be selected to achieve the best look in any situation. The clear mouth blown seeded glass is just one of the subtle differences that set these lights apart from your standard assembly line products.
