At Lightworks, we offer the following custom options:

WIDTH AND LENGTH:
We have two standard widths for all multi-arm ceiling fixtures and wall sconces. All measurements DO NOT include the size of glass shades or art glass lantern shades. For shade sizes see the shade section. For art glass lantern sizes see the specific fixture or call, fax or e-mail for an exact measurement.

Standard Ceiling Fixture Small Sizes

4-arm:              Height 28"                         Width 18"

3-arm:              Height 28"                         Width 16"

Standard Ceiling Fixture Large Sizes

4-arm:              Height 33"                         Width 22"

3-arm:              Height 33"                         Width 20"       

Standard Sconce Sizes

Double Sconces: Height 6 1/2" across or up and down

                       Width 12" across 4"-6" or width of shade for up and down

                       Depth 8"

Single Sconces:  Height 6 1/2"

                       Width 4"-6" or width of shade

                       Depth 6"-8"

Custom Sizes: If our standard width is not exactly what you need, our ceiling fixtures and sconces can be customized in whatever width you desire. There is a fee of $50.00 for any requested non-standard width up to three feet. If you order a non-standard width over three feet, our fee is $50.00 plus $10.00 for each foot or portion thereof over three feet.

All light fixtures hanging on a single rod or chain can be varied in length from a desired minimum length up to a maximum of a three foot drop. The drop in this instance is determined by measuring the fixture from the point it meets the ceiling to the bottom of the shade holder. A charge of $10 per foot or portion thereof for each additional foot will be added for any fixture length over three feet. Fixtures using square chain, however, are charged $15 per foot for additional footage.

Fixtures with multiple rods or chain usually specify the standard length range on the fixture description page. Any variation from those lengths will result in a charge of $10 per foot per rod or chain. That means a fixture hanging from two rods or chains would be $10 x 2 for each additional foot, and a fixture with four rods or chains would be $10 x 4 for each additional foot. Fixtures using square chain, however, are charged $15 per foot for additional footage.

We are also able to vary the depth of our wall sconces on request. There often is no additional charge for increasing or decreasing the depth of a wall sconce. Just ask.

FINISHES:
We offer 14 hand-applied, hand-rubbed finishes at Lightworks and three painted finishes. All our metal finishes are organic and continue to patina and change with time, although those that are lacquered will hold up for a longer time in their original finish. Fixtures without lacquer have a more aged look and more variation in tone. Fixtures with lacquer tend to have a more even finish. Some of our finishes are more complex and more expensive to produce, so an extra fee is added for those finishes. See the fixture descriptions for price breakdowns by finish. Samples of finishes are available on request.

Our finishes include:

Antique Bronze:

For an example of this finish see The Pinehurst or The Suncrest

Unless otherwise specified, all light fixtures come with non-switch sockets. However, we can add turn-key or pull-chain sockets to most ceiling fixtures and wall sconces. If you prefer, we can add a rotary, turn-knob, or dimmer switch to most of our ceiling fixtures and sconces. Switch sockets and fixture switches are $10 each and $20 for each dimmer switch.

OTHER CUSTOM FEATURES:
By now, you may have realized that at Lightworks we encourage you to customize your own fixture so that it will be just the way you want it to be. Don’t be afraid to ask if we can combine the style of two or more fixtures, change a shade holder, or substitute a different ceiling canopy. If you’re really feeling adventurous, design your own fixture or bring in or send us a picture. Of our current models, over half were produced this way. If you do design a fixture, we will happily place it in our catalog and name it after you or let you choose whatever name you want for the fixture.
