Ever since WWII, when Rosie the Riveter staked her claim at the Kaiser shipyards, American factories have operated underneath big, bright lights like this one.

18" wide and capable of handling 300 watt incandescent bulbs and self-ballasted compact fluorescent bulbs, this industrial-strength fixture suits large indoor and outdoor spaces. It's also available in a smaller size.

Available in black or green powder-coated enamel over aluminum, raw aluminum, which will not age, and raw copper, which will age. The enameled finishes have white interiors.
