Collection: Bunker Lights

Bunker lights fall under the category of exterior wall lights that are suitable for a wide range of installations, such as walkways, pathways, stairways, and recessed areas that require security lighting. 

These wall lights play a crucial role in reducing the risk of accidents and tripping by helping eliminate shadows in these designated areas. They’re a reliable option for improving visibility around your home, especially in darker outdoor zones. 

Originally adapted from rugged lights used in challenging environments like underground mines and marine settings, bunker lights have evolved over time, while still preserving some of their vintage industrial elements. This makes them a popular choice for homeowners who want lighting that is both functional and stylish. 

What types of bunker lights are available? 

There are several popular bunker light styles available, depending on the look you want and the function you need: 

Plain Cover Bunker Lights 

Plain cover bunker lights are inspired by old-fashioned gas street lights from before the period of electricity. They feature a timeless design that can suit many spaces and can be used both indoors and outdoors. 

Best for: classic styling, general outdoor ambient lighting.

Eyelid Cover Bunker Lights 

Eyelid cover bunker lights are designed to reduce glare while casting a soft downward glow. They include a protective “eyelid” cover, which blocks direct exposure to the globe and directs light downward for safer navigation. 

Best for: walkways, steps, entrances, glare reduction. 

LED Bunker Lights 

LED bunker lights are ideal for practical illumination and are popular because they use significantly less energy than traditional lighting options. This can reduce electricity usage while still providing strong, consistent light output. 

Best for: energy efficiency, long-life lighting, low maintenance.

 Up/Down Bunker Lights 

Up and Down bunker lights create a decorative two-way lighting pattern that shines both upward and downward. They’re great for adding a warm, welcoming ambiance to your exterior walls while highlighting architectural features. 

Best for: feature lighting, modern exterior styling.
