Finishes

Every piece of brass is hand-finished in our Nashville workshop at Southern Lights Electric. We strive to bring together old-world techniques with a modern approach in lighting design to create truly high-end fixtures with depth, character, and a story on every surface. Our finishes are applied one piece at a time—never mass-produced—and the subtle variations will forever make each fixture unique.

The Art of Hand-Finished Brass

Our finishing process honors the raw material—solid brass—letting natural variations and hand-applied patinas shine through. Each fixture moves through a multi-step workflow involving bead blasting, hand polishing, patina application, curing, sealing, and final detailing. This creates durable, architectural-grade finishes ideal for residential, commercial, and hospitality projects.
