Lighting an Industrial Building with Barn Lights

Whether you run an event company or you are simply setting up a coworking place in an industrial
building, it’s important to have proper lighting for your customers or guests. However, you chose this
building for a reason, so you want to make sure that the lighting used matches the overall theme and
feeling of the building, especially if you are an interior design or event company.

 In that case, it’s even more important to make sure the lighting matches the building. Luckily, lighting an industrial building with barn lights is simple, especially with the selection offered at Warehouse-Lighting.com.

Lighting can sometimes seem like a hassle. However, when you know what you are shopping for, it’s easier than ever to find the right lighting for your space. Barn lighting is functional, attractive, and offers that vintage look that goes perfectly in an industrial building that features exposed metal beams, larger open ceilings, and metal accents throughout a room. This also is a great lighting choice for an actual barn, which is becoming more and more common in event spaces. Rustic weddings are taking advantage of larger barn event spaces to host their wedding and reception and allow a more rustic feel that brings them closer to the outdoors and their country roots. Barn lighting is the perfect addition, either as small details scattered throughout or larger overall lighting that can really set the mood of the building.

For larger industrial spaces, you’ll need various forms of barn lighting. You’ll want some gooseneck barn lighting for near the doorways, either above or on the side of door frames, as well as some ceiling mount lights throughout the entirety of the building to offer adequate lighting. You may even want some extra wall mounted barn lights as well spread throughout the building on the inside and outside for adequate lighting.



It’s important to think not only of the inside of the building but the outside as well. Industrial buildings are larger, and with that means they cast a larger shadow, which means you may need more lighting options, especially if you are planning on keeping your building open later in the evening when people may feel uncomfortable leaving or entering a large dark building. This allows your employees to feel safe while coming and going before and after everyone else, as well as promotes security overnight while no one else is around. Thieves will target dimly lit buildings over those with numerous lighting options because they are more likely to not be seen when there is bad lighting. Keep your building, possessions, and employees safe by putting enough barn lights that your building is able to glow, especially near doorways, where people will be coming and going the most.

Once you’ve added barn lights to your industrial building, you will be ready to welcome guests and
employees with open arms. You also may find that you get even more people interested in renting or
using the building by adding these extra lights because they recognize it as a safer area with the lighting.
