Outdoor light fixtures by the beach: how much to spend?

autummmm
5 anni fa

Hi there! I'm looking to purchase 8 new outdoor wall sconces for my home that is just a few blocks from the beach. Knowing that they will rust and need replacement sooner than if we weren't near the coast, is it worth spending $200-300+ a fixture? I've found some options on Wayfair that are $100ish but not certain about how they will last or if they'll get trashed way too quickly.


Does anyone have any suggestions? Or has someone done trial and error with this and have a recommendation?


I'd love to not spend $2,000+ in total if I don't have to especially if they're going wear quickly!


Here are the options I found:

Wayfair - Amberley

Wayfair - Mellen


Thank you in advance!! :)

    Wind during tropical storms and beyond are another reason not to go too crazy on spending. I’m closer to the ocean now but my last house was 12 minutes by car to the beach. In that house all my exterior lighting blew away during one grade 2 storm. If you look for sales there are great options for under $200 ea.

    I like your picks. If you have to replace them in a few years it wouldn’t be so bad at that price. Even very costly fixtures don’t look great after a few years.

      What about something specific for the location?

      You'll have to read the sidebar for the specs, but it says it's for areas like yours..

      I am on my second set of outdoor lights in three years for a beach location. My first choice were made out of “metal” and rusted out within the year. My most recent set are made out of a resin and seem to be holding up under the conditions of salt air. I don’t trust the “finishes” that are placed on most “metals” to make them worthy of an outdoor rating for a seaside location. I paid around $100 for each of my fixtures....and I have six of them. Bought them through Build.com.

      Hi there! Our handcrafted copper fixtures can certainly withstand the harsh salt air environment & we also offer marine grade naval brass brackets that will never rust or corrode. We've worked on hundreds of beach homes & developments around the country. A typical residential average for most of our fixtures is in the $300-$800 range - but they will never have to be replaced. We offer a complimentary design service and can assist with specific style and scale recommendations for your project. Simply send over photos of each space you're looking to address and I'm happy to provide some feedback that will work within your budget! Brittnee | brittnee@bevolo.com

      I'm in the same predicament! We are between resin and marine grade metal.


      I hadn't seen maxim lighting option, which might be a better idea considering strength and hurricanes. My only concerns with resin is the harsh UV - but the maxim one seems to say theirs more UV resistant.
