light fixtures and swag lamps
Meteor Lights fabricates custom pendant light fixtures and pendant swag lamps in classic midcentury-modern and vintage-retro styles. You can choose from our shade designs, we can work from your specs or with your designer, or we can help design your lamp with you or for you. Most of our lampshade styles can be converted into pendant lamps, but depending on the specific lighting application, certain styles do work better than others.
We make many other shapes and sizes not shown on the Mid-Century-Modern Lampshade Styles page, such as large drum or barrel shades. We fabricate large drum and barrel pendant lamp shades up to 24 inches diameter and 40 inches tall as custom orders. You’re welcome to contact us with any of your lighting questions.
Architects, lighting consultants, and interior designers who want to create unique modern and mid-century/modern decor specify our UL rated light fixtures in a wide range of commercial and residential projects such as restaurants, bars, hotels, museums, galleries, retail settings, homes, lofts, and apartments.
Selecting your pendant lamp is a two-step process:
1. First, choose your pendant lamp shade style and shade color and design options.
2. Select either the hard-wired Pendant Light Fixture Hardware Set or the plug-in Pendant Swag Lamp Hardware Set. Both assemblies are available in white or black. There is a small discount if you order the hardware with a shade on the respective shade page in the shopping cart, instead of its respective ad hoc pendant lamp hardware page .
