Why Solid Sand-Cast Bronze for Landscape Lighting?

Understanding why CAST Lighting is committed to Solid Bronze

When David Beausoleil founded CAST Lighting, his mission was to provide the highest quality materials, workmanship and performance in the manufacture of landscape lighting fixtures. This mission came out of his personal frustration after years of working with products made of aluminum, copper, other metals and plastic composites. These materials simply failed to withstand the abusive outdoor environment and broke, bent, chipped, corroded, cracked and failed to perform their function.

Settling on bronze for its durability, resistance to corrosion and natural beauty, David launched large-scale production in a custom-built foundry to produce what have come to be known as the highest quality outdoor lighting fixtures on the market today. Casting bronze is a labor-intensive operation requiring skilled workers who have mastered the art of sand-casting. Because the process is so time-consuming and difficult, no other manufacturer has even attempted to duplicate CAST’s fixtures.

What is Bronze?
Bronze is an alloy that contains copper (88%), tin (6%), zinc (2%) and lead (3%). It’s introduction over 5,000 years ago revolutionized metal work and launched the Bronze Age. By adding tin to copper, workers created a metal that was stronger and impervious to corrosion. Bronze artifacts have been found dating from as early as 3,500 BC.
