Custom Design
Our custom design team transforms client concepts into unique lighting solutions. Using sketches or digital plans, we create one-of-a-kind fixtures that match architectural styles while maintaining structural integrity with 20 oz copper and brass components. The process includes detailed approval drawings and collaboration with architects for seamless integration into residential and commercial projects.
Dark Sky Lighting
IDA-certified dark sky lighting solutions prevent light pollution through fully shielded fixtures. Our Adhara system minimizes glare and blue-violet light emissions while maintaining aesthetic appeal. These energy-efficient LED options provide targeted illumination for outdoor spaces while complying with environmental lighting standards in sensitive areas.
Wildlife-Friendly Lighting
Florida Fish and Wildlife-certified turtle-friendly lighting systems use specialized adapters to reduce ecological impact. Our low-impact designs maintain safety and functionality while protecting nocturnal wildlife migration patterns. These solutions combine copper durability with specific bulb requirements to meet environmental certification programs in coastal regions.
LED Flame Simulation
Patented LED flame technology creates realistic flickering effects without open flames. Available across most lantern collections, this energy-efficient solution offers 50,000 hours of operation with 5-8W power consumption. The system provides safe, maintenance-free illumination while preserving the aesthetic appeal of traditional gas lighting.
Landscape Lighting
Comprehensive landscape lighting solutions including path lights, torches, and accent fixtures. Constructed from corrosion-resistant materials with marine-grade aluminum mounts, these systems enhance curb appeal while improving property safety. Options include natural gas, propane, and electric configurations with various mounting and finish choices.

I understand that some lighting companies don't offer the customer service that others do, but the manufacturer of these lanterns have been nothing but kind to me while trying to get an order when a lighting showroom refused to help me! The Coppersmith warehouse helped me directly and was extremely helpful and considerate although they don't sell direct! it was wonderful. I'm sorry others have issues with the people they are buying from, but the manufacturer themselves are wonderful! i would recommend their Copper Lanterns to anyone!

Recently purchased 4 new front lights for $1,660. These were bought through a local lighting retailer who sells upscale premium lights. I "assumed" these would be American made for that price (vs. Home Depot or Lowes Lighting).I was wrong : Made in China. I went to their website, states nothing about importing Chinese made copper lighting.
