external lights

Reply to: Hi southern, You made some good points; but, as an industry expert with the leading custom gas light manufacturer, you have a common industry misconception. 1. If you need to run gas lines to the fixture: Contact several local gas plumbers w gas light install experience and/or ask the gas light company about their installation packages. 2. $600 is an accurate price for a custom fixture. Prices range depending on size, style, copper used, brackets, add-ons, etc. Beware of copper gas lights that are priced cheaper than this; these fixtures may be a. made outside the U.S. and/or b. of poor quality 3. Gas Lights DO NOT burn all the time if you don't want them to. Ask a gas light manufacturer about their Electronic Ignition system that can be wired to a switch or timer for your safety and convenience. They also serve as an energy efficient technology; EI's will detect if your gas flame has been extinguished, attempt to re-light the fixture 3 times, and if the attempts failed, the gas valve is automatically shut off. 4. I have never heard of a properly installed gas light burning down a house. There are certain installation requirements and town code to ensure a safe and efficient gas light. If the gas light company does not install their lights, make sure a trained electrician and gas plumber know the requirements. Be mindful of who you purchase your gas lights from; here are a few key questions to ask before deciding to purchase: 1. What is your warranty? 2. Do you install your lights? 3. What is the lead time? 4. Where are the lights manufacutured? 5. Do you have electronic ignition systems? 6. Tell me about customer service/troubleshooting 7. What is the down payment? 8. Are you limited to making only certain designs? 9. Can you provide references? Hope this helps clarify gas lighting for you. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll be happy to help.
