Art in the Shop: Light Fixture Upgrades
We've updated and upgraded the hardware for our light fixtures.
The new low-profile steel mount plus LED lighting provide an even-lit, flush design that features and enhances the beauty of the glass.
Potekglass specializes in the design and manufacture of custom lighting and shades. We have several scones, pendants, and flush-mount fixtures available for sale in our shop and online.
Visit us on the top floor of the California Building to see some of the available fixtures all lit up and in action.
