Hinkley Lighting


Hinkley Lighting is one of the oldest and most trusted names in the outdoor lighting business. Four generations after its founding, Hinkley Lighting remains a family-owned business known for its uniquely stylish and sophisticated landscape lighting fixtures.

The history of Hinkley Lighting

Hinkley Lighting began its life in Cleveland in 1922. It was founded by Phillip Hinkley, and was known as the Phil R. Hinkley Company until 1977, when the name was changed to Hinkley Lighting.

In the mid-1930s, the company was purchased by Stan Wiedemer, one of the company's early sales representatives. Wiedemer's three sons would all work for the company, and it was Stan's grandson, Rick, who became president of Hinkley Lighting in 1977.

In recent decades, Hinkley Lighting has greatly diversified its products. Hinkley's After Hours landscape lighting collection was launched in the late 80s, and in the late 90s, Hinkley began an architectural site lighting division known as Hinkley Architectural. However, outdoor lighting has remained the company's focus for 85 years.

After Hours

Hinkley's After Hours line is a beautiful collection of landscape lighting fixtures and accessories. The After Hours landscape lights are grouped into three categories:

  • Path lighting

    Hinkley Lighting is famous for its path lights. Hinkley path lights are elegant yet functional, exuding an old-world air that is at the same time very contemporary. Antique, natural, and "olde" metal finishes add visual appeal, with earthy tones of copper, bronze, black, and clay.

  • Uplighting

    Hinkley Lighting's uplighting options include spot lights, flood lights, and well lights. Black, copper, bronze, and brass finishes complement Hinkley's path lighting products. The use of cast aluminum makes Hinkley's uplighting fixtures both modern and durable.

  • Deck and step lighting

    Hinkley's mix of traditional forms with modern style continues with their deck and step lighting. Vent-style deck lights present a very contemporary look, or choose flared lampshade-style fixtures in a distressed verde finish for a more traditional aesthetic character.
