Welcome to Coe Studios!
This is our 25th year of designing and
producing distinctive architectural lighting for customers who require a superior product
with both durability and style. Our fixtures are made from the most functional
material for withstanding the rigors of the outdoors: solid, durable bronze.
Bronze never rusts—it becomes more beautiful with age as nature
paints it with its own unique patina. And Coe Studios' lighting features
sound construction and a simple, handsome design suited to a wide range
of architectural styles and garden settings. All of our lamps carry a
full life-time warranty. Most models qualify for the
tough UL "Wet Location" or “Damp Location” status,
and all are available in 12-volt or standard 120-volt current. We are
a proud member of the Bay
Area Green Business Program as well as One
Percent for the Planet.

2010 Coe Studios continues to build upon the tradition of simple elegant architectural exterior lighting with a cool new solid bronze uplight or "bullet" light. We have played with different designs over the years, and finally settled on a versitile and beautiful solution for illuminating trees, walls, or pathways. The changable pipe height and 360 degree swivel give a complete range of motion for unlimiuted lighting applications. And, all of the components are solid bronze, so they will never rust and color beautifully over the years. Please let us know if you would like more information!

2009 Introducing the super-solid Coe Studios Footlight with 1 12V LED bulb or 2 120V cool white LEDs . We have been experimenting with LEDs since their introduction. However, a good 120V option has been hard to nail down. Recently we found a bayonet bulb with a small form factor, but it just wasn't bright enough. In order to get good output and coverage, we added a second socket to our Solid Bronze Footlight. Now, the light is even and cool in our newest lamp: Model FL-LED. The bulbs emit no heat and last 50,000 hours. This is a great option for customers who never want to change a bulb again or are concerned about the heat of the lamp. These bulbs look especially nice with the new glass lenses, available in clear or frosted. The frosted lens gives an "icy fuzz" quality to the light. Please contact us for more details.
June 2009 Coe Studios is now on Facebook. Add us as a friend to see installation photos and learn about events we are involved with.

2009 California Heritage Council has given an award to the Gravity Car which was built by Coe Studios: "West Point Inn (circa 1904) + Gravity Car Mt. Tamalpais, Mill Valley. The Inn is the sole surviving structures of a once famous and vibrant scenic railway where steam trains met a stagecoach for the beach. Today it operates more like a hostel than an Inn. The Gravity Car carried passengers down the mountain, a bit like a mountain roller-coaster, to Mill Valley."
February
2009San Francisco Chronicle featured the recreation of a Bay Area treasure, a "gravity car". Coe Studios Metalsmith created this functional piece of history from the ground up. Click here to read Jerry's story on how he did it!
