Artisan Brass Light Fixtures

Discover a World of Colors

The name Oculaire, meaning “lens,” reflects the optical qualities created during the glassmaking process. Each globe is blown by hand, with additional gathers of molten glass layered and tooled by the artists to form natural distortions that create distinctive light diffusion. No two globes are identical, ensuring that every fixture is unique.

Oculaire Collection

An artistic collaboration with renowned glass blowers Pontus Studio, blending handblown glass and brass. The Oculaire Collection celebrates craftsmanship and organic design, ideal for luxury residential and hospitality spaces.

Testimonials

JHL Design Inc

“Southern Lights Electric is always great to work with. Their fixtures are beautiful and dependable, and we’ve used the same pieces across multiple projects because they blend so well with the architecture. It’s always been a positive experience.”

Patrick Di Rito — Interior Designer, Chuck Marie Studio

"Southern Lights Electric is great to work with, super prompt with communication and always clear about timelines. They are really accommodating, even helping us push a rush order through without any stress. Their trade program is solid, and we love their finishes (the unlacquered aged brass especially). Overall, working with them has been such an easy, positive process!"

Susannah Holmberg Studio

"It was a pleasure working with Southern Lights Electric on our most recent project. Not only did the product meet our expectations, but so did the customer service. Our deadline for the project moved up unexpectedly and the Southern Lights Electric team was quick to push our order to the front of the line to ensure we received it in time. We always appreciate vendors who are willing to go above and beyond what is expected to help bring our clients' dreams to life."

Lauderdale Design Group

"Lauderdale is a huge fan of Southern Lights Electric. We love finding brands that represent our ethos that we can return to time and time again - great craftsmanshipand customer care. It's not often that you find both qualities in boutique brands. We are biased with their fixtures being made in Tennessee and love incorporating them into our work. "

Mary Kathryn Wells Design

Southern Lights Electric is one of my go-to sources for lighting that’s quietly elegant, beautifully made, and incredibly versatile; their pieces work just as seamlessly in modern spaces as they do in more traditional environments. But what really sets them apart is the care and service they bring to every interaction. The team is thoughtful, responsive, and clearly takes pride in their craft. The quality is exceptional and working with them is always a joy.
