Outdoor Glass Lights
Outdoor
lighting
can highlight and add to the exterior of the house.
Especially if glass lights are used outside the house it enhances
the effects created by the lights. A wide variety of glass is used
to make outdoor lights. Depending on the type of the glass used the
appearance of the exterior can change. Here are a few types of glass
that can be used for
outdoor
lighting
- Blowing the glass around a mold and then
passing it through an optic box creates the hammered look in
hammered glass. Sandblasting can get the same effect.
- When air bubbles or particles are trapped in
glass it is called seedy glass. This glass diffuses light in a
beautiful manner.
- Once the glass is molded it is passed
through rollers and the effect created on hardened glass is like
waves. This is called water glass.
- Tiffany-Style or Mission-Style Glass is
colored glass in different attractive pattern that can be used both
indoors and outdoors.
- Alabaster glass is molded to look like
alabaster marble. As a result the light is diffused and dim creating
an ambience that is simple and beautiful.
- Glass that is either coated or sandblasted
is called frosted glass. This is commonly used in modern fixtures.
When this glass is used in lights it produces largely, even
radiance.
