Barn Light on the Cheap
Our $34 Barn Lights.
I love the look of barn lights used as exterior lighting on a home. I found the ones I really wanted, but when I looked at the price tag I about tipped over.
$400 dollars, well that wasn’t in my budget so I had to get a little creative.
I purchased 2 light kits in hopes Hubby could merge the two and make one light similar to the expensive light.
Sure enough, he did it and I love them. It was such a huge savings, we had 5 outside lights that needed to be changed.
My favorite feature is the cage over the bulb.
So glad I have a smart Hubby that can do anything.
I love it! You are lucky he is talented that way.

Fantastic Dawn, perfect look for your porch! Can I borrow your hubby for a weekend please :)? I’ve got a couple of projects I need help with.
Love them Dawn…perfect for your cabin. Have a good week!
I think your lights turned out great! What a sweet and handy hubby you have! 😉
Hi Dawn,
You and your husband are very clever. It’s looks fantastic and I love the price.

You do have one smart hubby! Was that part of your b-day present? They look great!
You and your husband are the perfect pair. You dream up the projects and he executes them!
What a creative duo you are! I think your copy cats are great and the suit the cabin perfectly.
Awesome lights!! Partners in crime, you are.. but in a good way 🙂 I have a smart hubby too, and am very thankful!! -Tammy

I love it too!
You and hubby make a great team. You come up with the ideas and he executes them!
The light is great!!! Way to go!!!
Love the lights. Any chance you could have a tutorial!
Oh man, this is amazing! We wanted barn lights on the outside of the garage – thank goodness we found them on sale. Yours are beautiful!!
Brillant! Very clever indeed. And you got to love those handy husbands!
We are building a house right now and my brother is making me the same thing!!! 2 cheap lights from menards and he’s putting together – but he is also a welder/fabricator so he is making me large goosenecks for even more character! I’m so happy to see yours done cause they look great! love the character of the barn lights!
Love the light. I’m really hoping that you’ll do a tutorial on how you and your husband put this awesome light together as well. I bet others are hoping the same thing…..
Debora, thank for stopping by. It was so easy I didn’t’t even think to do a tut.
Dawn, thank you for the great idea. Because of this, I purchased some lights for a large project, but am unsure of how to attach the cage lights to the barn light? How did you husband do it?
Thank you

Dawn, how did he attach the smaller lights to the barn lights?
