Elevate Your Exteriors with Crystal Outdoor Lighting

There’s nothing like crystal outdoor lighting to transform any exterior into a sparkling haven. While crystal lighting has long been associated with interior elegance, new outdoor wall lighting from Schonbek Beyond is making waves in exterior lighting designs.

Traditionally revered for its ability to create dazzling, light-reflective displays, crystal brings a touch of elegance to outdoor spaces. Its high reflectivity enhances ambient light, adding brilliance and a sense of wonder to outdoor settings. When used outside, crystal not only illuminates but also transforms the environment by reflecting light in a way that positively impacts both the surroundings and our perception of the space.

Materials That Elevate Outdoor Lighting

Our lighting designers continually push the boundaries of traditional materials to enhance aesthetics, durability and environmental sustainability. Among these innovative materials, crystal combined with LED and weather-resistant frame finishes stand out for their unique properties and benefits.

Schonbek Crystal Selections

For our exterior luminaires, Schonbek Beyond utilizes brilliantly clear Optic Crystal or our proprietary Optic Haze™ Quartz.

Optic Crystal offers radiant aesthetics, and is renowned for its ability to create dazzling displays of light. The cut crystals refract and scatter light, producing a stunning array of sparkles and glimmers that can make any outdoor area feel like a fairy tale.

Optic Haze™ Quartz is formed using genuine organic quartz and exhibits the fine characteristics, patterning and inclusions of mined quartz crystals. Its name derives from the optical effects it creates from natural variations found within the crystal which add to the stone’s natural beauty. When illuminated the crystal has a hazy, dreamlike quality that adds a touch of magic to Schonbek luminaires.

Whether used to illuminate a grand entrance, highlight architectural features or simply add an element of glamour to a garden, Schonbek Beyond outdoor crystal lighting offers a level of visual sophistication unmatched by other lighting brands.

Powder Coating: A Durable Finish for All Conditions

Our exterior wall lights are engineered to withstand the elements. They are made with Premium 316 Marine Grade stainless steel hardware and painted with weather-resistant powder coat providing a long-lasting finish despite exposure to rain, wind and sunlight. This advancement makes it possible to enjoy the splendor of crystal lighting outside without compromising on durability.

Powder coating is a popular choice for both exterior and interior fixtures due to its exceptional performance and durability. This dry finishing process provides a tough, long-lasting surface that resists chemicals, impact, abrasion, UV light, and moisture. Our powder coated exterior lighting undergo rigorous testing to ensure they can withstand extreme weather conditions and prolonged UV exposure. The result is a robust finish that maintains its quality and appearance, even in harsh outdoor environments.

To keep your crystal lighting looking its best, regular cleaning and maintenance are essential. Outdoor crystal fixtures should be cleaned periodically to remove dust and debris. Ensure that the protective coatings remain intact to maintain their resistance to weather conditions.

LEDs: Efficiency and Flexibility for Outdoor Use

LED technology is revolutionizing exterior lighting with its numerous advantages. The LEDs used in our luminaires offer bright, adjustable color temperatures and are known for their long lifespan, energy efficiency and sustainability. One of the key benefits of LEDs in outdoor settings is their instant-on capability. Unlike traditional lighting, which requires time and heat to activate, LEDs illuminate immediately, even in cold temperatures.

Their durable construction, often made from resilient plastics rather than glass, ensures they can handle harsh weather conditions better than traditional bulbs. Additionally, the compact size of LED light sources provides designers with greater flexibility, allowing for sleek, integrated designs and various creative possibilities.

Tips for Incorporating Wall Lighting into Your Outdoor Space

● Highlight Key Features: Use luxury crystal lighting to accentuate key features of your outdoor space, such as a beautifully landscaped garden, a tranquil pool area or an elegant outdoor dining area. Crystal fixtures can be used to draw attention to architectural details or create a dramatic effect around focal points.

● Welcome Guests: Install outdoor wall lights on either side of the front door to create a welcoming entrance. For hotels, restaurants and other businesses, add a touch of elegance to entrances or lobbies to impress guests and create a high-end atmosphere.

● Create Ambience: Strategically place crystal lighting to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Mount them in dining areas or seating spaces to add a touch of grandeur. Additionally, crystal sconces can be used in gazebos, patios and garden walls to enhance the overall ambiance.

● Combine with Other Lighting Elements: While crystal lighting is visually striking on its own, combining it with other types of outdoor lighting can create a layered and dynamic lighting scheme. Consider integrating it with damp- or wet-rated ambient lighting, such as recessed lights to achieve a balanced and harmonious lighting effect.
