After much haggling back and forth over something as silly as angled or L-shaped path lights, David and I finally settled on one…
Does any of this really matter? Not much, no, but L-shaped it is. That’s the Atlantis 1518TT-LED by Hinkley Lighting. David turned his nose up at the Bronze finish. So I ordered the Titanium and Hematite finish samples from Hinkley. Not only were they FREE, they arrived just a few days later.
We looked at them against the granite (Titanium top, Hematite bottom)…
Titanium is clearly more reflective. Hematite would blend into the background better, as I assumed.
Then we checked them against the galvanized steel we have on some of the steps, the veggie garden planter boxes and our steel cable railing…
We’re not trying to match the galvanized, mind you. But the various finishes outside have to play friendly. Out back there’s also that rusty Corten steel drama queen of a fire pit/grill vying for your attention. So rather than have another dark finish nearby competing with the Phoenix, we settled on Titanium.
Done. Ordering!
