Three Light Chandelier from the Sweeping Taper Collection by Hubbardton Forge

TRANSLUCENT FINISHES

Hubbardton Forge translucent finishes show off the character and texture of the metal beneath. Our finishing process utilizes the methods that will bring out the beauty of the materials. Powder coating is more resistant to impact, moisture, chemicals, and UV light than liquid paints. The eco-benefits of powder coating include low to no VOCs, the capability to recapture and reuse overspray and the ability to return exhaust.

OPAQUE FINISHES

Opaque finishes showcase the texture and character of the steel, created during handcrafting.

COASTAL OUTDOOR FINISHES

​​Hubbardton Forge offers some of the most robust, environmentally-friendly finishes available for exterior lighting fixtures, and continuously works to improve durability with new formulations that are rigorously tested.

The American Architectural Manufacturers Association, who sets the standards for coating performance on architectural applications, has recently designated four of our Coastal Outdoor Finishes (-14, -75, -77, -78) as AAMA 2604-certified, meeting the highest standard in durable, weather resistant finishes available. They are corrosion-resistant and color-fast, with significant protection against harmful UV rays. These coatings deliver exceptional hardness and scratch resistance for enhanced performance in seacoast environments. AAMA 2604-rated finishes, also known as “Super Durable Polyester powders”, are the same quality and standard that is used on aluminum-clad buildings. Why is this important? So that your exterior lighting fixtures remain not just beautiful, but protected, for years to come. Need LEED credits? These powder coat finishes emit zero-VOCs and can contribute toward your LEED certification, according to the US Green Building Council.

Hubbardton Forge offers a Lifetime Limited Warranty on ALL of their Coastal Outdoor Finishes, unless you are 10 miles or less from a sea coast, in which case they offer a 5-year warranty.

Maintaining your Outdoor Products

Methods for cleaning the powder coat finish depend on the characteristics of the surface soil. Use water and mild soap or detergent with a sponge or soft cloth for light surface soils. For medium to heavy soils a mild solvent, such as mineral spirits, can be used for removal of grease, sealants or caulking compounds. Spot testing should be performed first to ensure there is no coating damage or staining from cleaning materials.

BLOWN GLASS & ART GLASS

We offer extraordinary blown glass and art glass options that complement the design of our fixtures. 

SHADES

Your satisfaction is one of our top goals here at Lighting & Bulbs Unlimited. We want you to shop confidently and know that we’ll help within reason to keep your purchase and shopping experience with us a smooth one. So let's be transparent about the return policy:

Eligible Returns

We accept returns when each of the following is checked:

• within 30 days of purchase with receipt,
• un-installed,
• not an item on our exclusions list, and
• in a re-sellable condition with all of its original packaging, documents, packaging fillers, and product parts.

We do not offer free return shipping at this time. Returns are subject to manufacturer restock fees (25% if refunded to your original payment method, or 10% if you exchange or opt in for showroom/website credit instead).

Exclusion List

The following items are final sale, and are therefore excluded from returns, exchanges, or alterations of any kind after sale:

• Display fixtures
  • Clearance fixtures
  • Custom-fixtures and/or those that are made-to-order
  • Fixtures that have been installed or have had their wires cut, clipped or modified/used in anyway
  • Services, and/or Labor charges
  • Items missing their original packaging, handbooks, and other materials
  • Replacement glass, parts, or shades
  • Items not purchased from Lighting & Bulbs Unlimited
  • Shipping/handling charges
  • Gift cards/gift certificates and/or coupons used in the initial transaction

Services/Labor
Due to the nature of labor, services are not eligible for returns, exchanges, or post-sale alternations of any kind. If you experience an issue with a service, have a question or concern regarding it, please reach out and let us know. Lighting consultations that are eligible to use the consultation fee towards a purchase are only eligible to be used on product-purchases; not on any services or labor charges.

Restock Fees

Due to the logistics that manufacturers have set up, they charge 25% to restock their items to the warehouses. Therefore, orders are also subject to a restock fee of 25%. Item(s) being returned will be the total amount less any restock and original shipping charges, if any.

Store Credit, or Exchanges

To help with restock fees, we offer a 10% restock (as opposed to the 25%) if you choose to exchange your product or receive your refund through store credit. In the event that your refund is processed to provide you with store credit, please treat this store credit like cash as we are unable to replace store credit if lost or stolen.
