Cape Meares

Description

Details on the Cape Meares—like exposed turnkey sockets and square shades—make it one of our favorite gas/electric-style fixtures. Its straightforward good looks and wall-washing light will surely make it one of your favorites, too.

Early American homes were lit by gas, and when electricity came on the scene, fixtures were designed to use both technologies.  Gas would be used for day-to-day lighting needs, and electric was used to impress the neighbors.  Though we build them to be 100% electric, gas-electric fixtures give you a traditional look while while filling your entire room with light.

Tips:

A standard A19 bulb can peek over the top of short gas shades. Use a small, clear globe bulb in the gas-style part of the lamp if you want to light source to disappear into the shade, or a flicker bulb for the gas look.
