About this item

Details

The close-in storefront light. This is the short-arm bent lamp for the facades that don't need reach — no awning to clear, no projecting sign to get past, just light laid straight down onto the glass and the signboard right below it. It's the compact fixture you see tucked tight above a shop's windows, marching in a neat row across a narrow storefront where a long arm would only get in the way.

The arm is a single tight bend with a small, shallow shade on a short reach. A short mounting tenon on the back plugs into a drilled hole in your structure wall, so the lamp sits flush and square without a visible bracket plate. The short throw is the whole point — it lights a sign or a window from close up, and it fits where a gooseneck or a long-arm lamp would overhang too far: between tight window
spacing, under a low cornice, or lined up thick across a slim shopfront.

Because the arm is modeled hollow, this isn't just a static casting. The bore runs from the shade down through the mounting tenon, so fine magnet wire can be threaded through and the leads brought out behind the wall — which is exactly how the warm-white and cool-white LED versions are built. Order it bare to light your own way, or let us wire a micro-LED through the arm so the fixture arrives ready to
connect.

Run a row of them across a narrow facade the way the real shops did and a plain wall reads as a working storefront. Rust-weathered or freshly painted, they carry the look instantly.
