A Tour of Rustic Lights Across America

Posted on May 10, 2011 by avalight

Bellingham WA: Mt Baker to Bellingham Bay

Beginning this month, Avalanche Ranch is taking to the road for a virtual tour of our hospitality customers across the United States.  We’ll make visits to the camps, hotels, restaurants, lodges and ranches who use our lights as part of their decor–some having been our customers since way back in the early days of crafting lights.  We’ll begin in Bellingham, WA, the home of our manufacturing facility, which is also the host to the Famous Ski to Sea Race.  You can see why we’re inspired by nature’s riches in this part of the world.

Every week we’ll post a new location.  Follow our blog to follow us as we explore the places where nature inspires and showcase the settings of our rustic, handcrafted lights.

Custom Ceiling Canopy

Posted on January 18, 2010 by avalight

I just got off the phone with Walter, who wanted to install one of our Smoky Mountain Ceiling Light on a log beam in his log home. He had drilled out a cavity and put a shallow 4 inch junction box/pan and he wanted the hanging canopy to be curved to follow the contour of the log. This kind of request is not unusual for us, and I was able to design a 6 inch square plate that will have a hanging hook in the middle and curved to fit around the log.

In addition, we are presenting more information on the specifications of the products, including the backplate or canopy dimensions, catalog page, and easier to view line drawings. We now have 1614 active products. And will be adding more over the course of the summer of 2009.

Custom Wasatch Bath Light

Posted on June 23, 2009 by avalight

Today we received a request for a extended length for our Wasatch Bath light for a 60 inch length, with 6 lights. This request for a custom rustic light fixture is an excellent example of what we can do here at the Ranch. Where else would you turn for such a fixture? Certainly not Lowe’s or Home Depot. We will be able to make this fixture at an affordable price, fully UL approved, within a 3 week lead time.

New Product! – Pine Cone Metal Art Lights for the Bath

Posted on May 7, 2009 by avalight


I am really pleased to announce that we have created a new 3 dimensional pine cone, complete with a branch and needles, as an exciting new addition to our collection of metal art images. We are beginning to integrate these first into our bathroom vanity lights and indoor wall sconces. Pictured here, is the Halogen Double Bath Vanity Light with the Pine Cone artwork. This is the first one we have taken a picture of, and will photographing the other bath light designs on May 8th.

The Pine Cone artwork will be soon available on other fixtures as well, and I will post those as they are finished and photographed. I have one of these branches sitting on my desk, and it looks incredibly life like. It is way cool!

Customizing the Benton Sconce Series #A162

Posted on October 31, 2008 by avalight


Today I received a custom request on our rustic lights called the Benton Sconce, to make it an exterior light. The current design only is suitable for interior and damp locations (outside but protected from the rain). This is something we could do, but most likely, it would be made shorter. Also, the bulbs would have to point down. This wall sconce light is interesting because of the back – which is curved so that it fits over a vertical log. Some people have also asked that this be made to go on a horizontal log. Certainly it can be installed in a horizontal way, but I think it would be better to make a curved back canopy so any light could be installed on a log cabin wall horizontally.
Any thoughts on this?
