American diner lights are an increasingly popular style of fitting. Inspired by the stainless steel exteriors and metallic surfaces of the diners that were so synonymous with US culture in the 50s, 60s & 70s. The stunning American Diner<\/a> range from Searchlight pays tribute to these iconic eateries, with a selection of traditional ceiling and wall lights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These fittings certainly have a retro feel about them, with gleaming metallic finishes, decorative yet practical designs, and a subtly industrial look \u2013 perhaps a trace of the American railroad from whence the diners themselves originated back in the 1920s. Lyco stocks a wide variety of American Diner light fittings, meaning you can easily add a touch of American style to any premises or home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The American Diner Lighting Range<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>The American Diner Semi-Flush Fitting<\/a> has an IP44 rating to indicate possible Zone 1 and 2 bathroom use. This light looks fantastic in kitchen and dining areas, too, whether in the home or a restaurant. Much like many original American diner lights, it is compact in design and ideal for a low-ceilinged room.

Offering a choice of semi-flush installation or normal pendant use, Searchlight\u2019s 3-Light<\/a> mount fitting caters for any height of ceiling. Install this eye-catching luminaires over dining tables or a kitchen island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Like all items in this range, the American Diner Pendant<\/a> comes in a choice of metallic finishes. The glass is finished differently, too, with clear or frosted options. The former allows a slightly crisper light, whilst still cutting out glare with its ribbed surface. It also projects an attractive pattern onto ceilings. Frosted glass produces a softer light, and has a pleasing white finish to suit many styles of d\u00e9cor.
