WELCOME to the most exciting collection of rustic lighting products you will find anywhere! Avalanche Ranch Light Company is a family-owned lighting manufacturing company with a 10 year history of making our own exclusive designs lights in the highest quality available today for lodge-style and mission-style decor.

When we use the word "rustic" to describe our unique lights, we are referring to a design style, not to the quality of the product. Each of our lights is handmade in Bellingham, Washington by our skilled employees who carefully follow detailed artwork, design and construction guidelines. Our lights are UL approved for both US and Canadian markets, which is important for safety and meeting local building code. All our artwork includes exceptionally detailed outside edges and hand-cut interior lines to give it just the right rustic feel. We use heavy gauge steel, which is about the thickness of a CD or key. Our finishes are low-gloss, powder coated enamel or hand-painted patinas, which are unique among our peers. All this attention to detail give our product a unique and handmade quality that is without equal.

Wide Product Selection
We now have more than 1,500 different lights in more than 250 design styles. Throughout these designs, you will find fish and flora styled lights, which are inspired by nature themes; you will find Southwestern style lights; you will find Western Lights (some with barbed wire!); and you will find Craftsman-style lights, which are inspired by the Arts & Crafts movement made popular by Gustav Stickley after the turn of the 20th century-a movement that was fueled by a popular return to the great outdoors. Both of these style aesthetics reflect the visual patterns found in nature, thus creating a look that fosters a harmony between the interior and natural exterior of your home. We value the importance of this harmony in lighting the home and it is the foundation of all our lighting designs here at Avalanche Ranch Light Company.

Full Custom Capabilities
Even with so many designs from which to choose, we are pleased to offer full custom capabilities for any of the lights you see in our line, or any idea you would like to send us. We usually can provide quick turnaround for your request with a price and lead time. This is especially nice for the Design Trade, when working on restaurant, hotel, lodge or similar project when you want to use a logo, or a design feature that is unique to the project.

Who we are
Avalanche Ranch Light Company has been making rustic lighting fixtures for more then 10 years. Our lights encompass a style that is known by various names such as: lodge lighting, cabin lighting, log home lighting, Southwestern lighting or western lighting. Our lights feature wildlife themes such as a bear, moose, elk, deer, trout, salmon, horse, and tree. Ten years ago, our first sconce was created for a lake cabin because a suitable light couldn't be found at the neighborhood lighting store. We are the original lighting company that spawned many copy-cat products, but we are the place it all started.

Avalanche Ranch Light Company is here because we want to give people looking for rustic lights a choice beyond the traditional lighting manufacturer's offerings. Many people who have bought our lights over the years tell us of their exhaustive searches for log cabin lighting. Our desire to make fun, yet practical lights to bring something different to any room in your home, whether it be a log home, lake cabin or the front of your home. We are determined to be unique and different, determined to provide stylish lights, determined to deliver the highest quality and determined to meet or exceed your expectations in every possible way.

Where our lights are typically installed
Our lights are found in hotels, log homes, rustic cabins, lake cabins, craftsman homes, restaurants and lodges with a Northwoods theme, as well as in traditional homes where a bathroom or basement is decorated with a different theme than the rest of the house.

The basics of lighting for your home
There are many kinds of light-direct, indirect, reflected and filtered. We believe it's important to have as much lighting variety as possible. Many log homes incorporate large windows to take advantage of natural light. Besides natural light, we prefer to see rustic lighting fixtures in various locations so that you get light coming from multiple directions. Sconces, chandeliers, table and floor lamps can help with this lighting scheme.

Working with a lighting plan is essential. Whether you are designing a log home, mountain cabin, lake cabin/lodge style addition, billiard room, or rustic bathroom, it is absolutely critical to examine floor plans and electrical plans for light placement. Remember to include furniture placement in your layout. Picture yourself in each room, sitting in a chair at the breakfast nook, kitchen counter, in the whirlpool tub and consider where you need light and for what purpose.

One of the most frequently asked questions we receive is "How much light does this [light] give out?" Or "Is this light bright enough for this room?" These are difficult questions because every light is different in every room. With every rustic lighting fixture we design, we try to achieve the greatest amount of light output possible.

Some factors within our control are bulbs (quantity, wattage and direction) and diffusers (glass or mica, proximity to the bulbs.) On our chandeliers, we use porcelain sockets and our mica is the real thing, not a plastic imitation. Glass diffusers let more light pass through, and allow higher-Wattage bulbs to be used when bulb proximity is an issue.

There are, of course, some factors we cannot control, such as room size, wall color, how reflective the wall surface is, and the presence of mirrors. Height and color of the ceiling also plays a role-the nearer and lighter the ceiling, the more light will be reflected.
