At Santa Barbara Lighting Company, our dedication to handmade craftsmanship shines through every piece we create. Our process, rooted in the rich architectural traditions of Santa Barbara, blends quality materials and timeless designs to produce high-quality, made-to-order lighting fixtures. Each piece is crafted in Southern California, proudly made in the USA.

1. Laser Cutting: Our journey begins with laser cutting, ensuring that every handmade part meets exact specifications. This foundational step is vital for creating the unique framework of our fixtures.
2. Hand Welding by Skilled Artisans: Our skilled artisans meticulously hand weld the components together, forming the handcrafted structure of each light fixture. This process allows us to achieve the distinctive shapes and styles that define our brand.
3. Metalizing for Durability: The hand-welded pieces undergo a metalizing process to enhance durability and prepare the surface for the final finish. This step ensures that our high-quality fixtures are built to last, maintaining their beauty over time.
4. Hand-Applied Finishes: We offer a selection of seven curated finishes, applied by hand, and six different glass types, providing clients with made-to-order options that suit their design needs. Each fixture is meticulously hand-finished to achieve the desired aesthetic and protect against wear.
5. Wiring and Glass Installation: Our team adds wiring and glass, ensuring that each handmade fixture meets our high standards for quality and functionality. This step is crucial for both the aesthetic and practical aspects of the lighting.

Final Assembly and Shipping: The completed fixtures are carefully assembled and packaged in our Southern California workshop, ready to be shipped to our clients.
