Lighting within these industrial spaces was built using strong, unfinished, and long-lasting materials. By incorporating these unfinished elements into more intentional designs, industrial style evolved into a look that is both eye-catching and simple. While some of the fixtures can look edgy, industrial lighting pairs well with many other interior styles including <a href=\"http:\/\/www.destinationlighting.com\/products\/contemporary-modern-style\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">modern<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.destinationlighting.com\/search?q=country&amp;newSearch=n\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">country<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.destinationlighting.com\/products\/marine-nautical-style\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">nautical<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Characteristics of Industrial Lighting<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Industrial style lighting was designed originally for its functionality. Its appealing and timeless style was unintentional. Traditionally, these lights are made of dark-toned steel and wood that are unfinished or distressed. Common features include <a href=\"http:\/\/www.destinationlighting.com\/search?q=exposed+bulb&amp;newSearch=n\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">exposed bulbs<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.destinationlighting.com\/search?q=metal+shade&amp;newSearch=n\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">metal shades<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.destinationlighting.com\/search?q=wire+cage&amp;newSearch=n\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wire cages<\/a>. The connection points between different elements are visible and abruptly attached without embellishment. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.destinationlighting.com\/products\/vintage-retro-industrial-style\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vintage<\/a> stylings found in industrial lights stem from the machine age and provide a glimpse of history with every piece.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div
