I’m using a Meyers Wall Light for the front of the barn. I used pliers to bend it outward a bit, which removed some of the paint. That’s fine for an old light, and I brushed on flat black paint to remove the gloss shine. Once that was dry, I dry brushed on dark brown to make the finish appear corroded and dirty.
Since the door frame sticks out, I added a square of scrap wood to serve as a base for the light.
On the inside, I connected the lamp wire to the 12V wire I fed during the overhead light installation.
I covered the wires with channel molding. I didn’t bother adding knob and tube wiring for this lamp since it would have been hard to see and just make a mess of the work I did previously. :]
Just a few modifications and it looks like an old barn light that’s been there a long time.
