Southern Essence Custom Lighting

05/26/2026

As most of you know, we also restore and repair vintage electronic equipment — mostly tube radios. Combined with our custom lighting builds and repairs, this has created a significant backlog.

At this time, we are fully booked for the next several months and are no longer accepting new projects.

We apologize for any inconvenience and will keep everyone posted with any updates.

Thank you for your continued support.

Just completed these beautiful garden lanterns! These were originally designed to be used with candles. We've performed an electrical conversion by adding sockets, a swag light style chain and inline switch. No need for you to add a ceiling box or do any wiring. Simply add a hook, hang & plug in! Can be purchased individually or as a pair.

This 1933 RCA radio is 23 years older than our 56 Thunderbird but with a little magic by "OldZcool Radios", it's very capable of rocking to some "new oldies"!

Your choice of 8 color combos, preset flashing pattern or controlled by the music, all with the touch of a remote. Volume can be controlled through your smartphone or tablet!
