Made like fine furniture, this durable outdoor light is handsome enough that you may be tempted to use it indoors, but the Pacific Edge is made to withstand the vagaries of climate; built to last through decades of outdoor weather. We’ve been using Jatoba, a Brazilian cherry wood, for years in our outdoor deck, arbor, pergola, and light designs. So, don’t let wood scare you away. It has already stood the tests of time and the elements! Its beauty will draw you in, and its durability will impress you for a lifetime.
Unlike any other wooden outdoor light currently available, this rugged Jatoba light has perfect proportions and an amazingly natural, yet sophisticated, appearance. The lines are uncomplicated, clean, and straight forward.
By day, its beauty enhances entryways, paths, stairs or garden locations. By night, illumination from a hand-hammered copper sconce gives effective, functional light. The warm glow of beautifully grained wood makes this striking light the perfect choice for most landscapes.
Jatoba wood: Jatoba (Brazilian cherry wood) is the wood of choice for these lights. We have tested many other traditional and exotic woods, but none compares to the beauty and endurance that Jatoba offers. These lights will last and last, no matter what the weather! Yes, Jatoba has a 40-year outdoor ground-contact rating, and yes, it weathers better than teak or cedar and is 1.5 times harder than oak. And yes, it’s gorgeous! Each handmade light has a unique grain pattern and a rich depth of natural coloring. Without further care, the wood will fade to a subtle lighter hue. Or an occasional application of fine wood oil will maintain the dark, polished appearance of elegant furniture and well-maintained bright-work. The Pacific Edge is distinctive, and will be noticed day and night. Wood belongs outdoors and in the garden, and using Jatoba finally makes this possible.
