Choosing the Best Gooseneck Lights
Classic horse barn light fixtures have a very distinctive shape called a gooseneck. As their name implies, these aluminum or galvanized steel lighting fixtures have a sturdy arm – shaped like a goose's neck – that attaches to the wall. A wide-shaped round fixture casts a pleasing downlight in a concentrated circle.
The key to using gooseneck barn lighting fixtures is to place them high enough up so the light spread covers more ground. You can frame the area you're trying to illuminate by selecting the intensity and direction of your light source in combination with the shade style and arm length. This gives you flexibility when planning your outdoor (or indoor) space.
The best gooseneck lights are made with durable housings and provide a traditional barn look. A gooseneck wall lantern is equally well-suited for illuminating a commercial building approach, garage door entrance or farmhouse doorway.

Finding the Best Canopy Lights
Canopy lights are another option for barn lighting fixtures.
They have sturdy housings that are typically rated for outdoor or wet locations, and they are usually dust-rated for added peace of mind. If there are areas where moisture or dust are a concern, this is a smart choice that offers the extra durability needed. The best canopy lights are easily installed on the ceiling without much disturbance to the area. For an added benefit, you can find them in several styles and lumen outputs to accommodate your space.

Best Wall Pack Lighting Fixtures
Another choice for barn lighting is wall pack lights. These outdoor wall-mounted fixtures are commonly seen in commercial locations, but they can be suitable in barn settings as well. The best wall pack lights feature durable housings and offer a damp or wet rating, as they are made for the outdoors. These wall lights can be especially useful in a barn setting or warehouse to shed light on walkways or paths either inside or outside.
Wall pack lights feature bright light output and an adjustable mount design that's great for illuminating building perimeters where controlling spill light is crucial. Typically made of durable die-cast aluminum, the best wall pack lighting fixtures can withstand high humidity and extreme climate conditions. Wall pack lights are a good choice for practically any commercial application, providing high power and quality lighting year after year.

Why LED Exterior Barn Lights Are Your Best Bet
Regardless of which fixtures you choose, the right lamp type is crucial to successful illumination. LED exterior barn lights offer the best visibility due to their higher lumen outputs while reducing energy costs by way of lower wattages than other lamp types. LED barn lights also last a long time while offering a clean, consistent light spread ideal for any location. Best of all, LED lights operate with no heat loss.
