Norwell Lighting Empire Collection For over 70 years, Norwell has created quality lighting solutions for the residential market. Together with our affiliated companies—Ilex and Custom Metalcraft—we design and engineer our products at our facilities in East Taunton, Massachusetts. Norwell's outdoor lighting is crafted with Brass which has many benefits including, it will “patina” or turn darker over time as it is exposed to the elements, but it will not corrode and is a great option for outdoor and landscape lighting. Brass fixtures are more expensive that some of the other metals used, but is the best quality and most durable metal that will last the longest. Empire Chrome Wall Sconce Simple and subtle, this light fits into rooms from traditional to transitional with a textured square backplate. Empire Satin Brass and Black Wall Sconce Available in chrome and brass finish. Lighting fixtures that are UL listed for wet locations should indicate that on the packaging. These kinds of lamps are great for outdoor areas like uncovered porches, gazebos, outdoor walkways, showers, outdoor dining areas, ect. Anywhere where light fixtures could be exposed to water, rain, or heavy storms, will need wet location rated lamps.
