Discover Hanover Lighting—where American manufacturing excellence meets innovative design. Our premium outdoor lighting fixtures deliver unmatched quality, customization, and reliability to transform any exterior space.
Lifetime Warranty: Lighting That Lasts Generations
At Hanover Lighting, we stand behind our quality with an industry-leading lifetime warranty on all residential installations. This exceptional commitment far exceeds industry standards and demonstrates our confidence in the superior construction of every fixture we produce.
For commercial applications, we offer a robust 3-year warranty, still outperforming typical industry coverage. This level of assurance gives specifiers, showrooms, and homeowners the confidence that Hanover fixtures are built to last for generations.
Our warranty reflects our dedication to creating heirloom-quality products that maintain their beauty and functionality for decades, not just years.
American-Made Excellence: The Hanover Difference
Domestic Manufacturing Advantage
Every Hanover fixture is proudly manufactured in the United States, ensuring rigorous quality control and superior craftsmanship. Our American production facilities allow us to maintain exacting standards while supporting domestic jobs and reducing our carbon footprint through shorter shipping distances.
Custom Capabilities Without Compromise
Unlike import-reliant brands, Hanover offers full customization in design, finishes, and dimensions without the hurdles of overseas production. We avoid customs delays, tariffs, and long transit times that can derail project timelines, delivering tailored solutions that perfectly align with your vision.
Virtually Endless Possibilities
With dozens of premium finishes, custom sizing options, and bespoke detailing, architects and designers can achieve truly unique lighting solutions. Our domestic, made-to-order production means you can realize creative visions with the certainty of on-time delivery and consistent quality.
Supply Chain Stability in an Uncertain World
Reliable 4-6 Week Lead Times
In today's volatile global supply environment, Hanover provides the certainty and stability that professionals demand. Our U.S.-based production ensures dependable lead times—most standard orders ship in just 4–6 weeks—giving you confidence in your project timelines.
While overseas manufacturers struggle with port congestion, container shortages, and unpredictable delays, Hanover's domestic manufacturing sidesteps these challenges entirely. Our logistics team has built a reputation for delivering on schedule, "on time, every time."
This reliability not only keeps construction projects on track but helps showroom partners avoid backorder frustrations and maintain their reputation with customers.
Professional-Grade Construction Built to Last
Heavy-Duty Cast Aluminum
Hanover fixtures feature premium cast aluminum construction that resists corrosion and will not rust, even in coastal or harsh climate applications. Unlike thin stamped-steel imports prone to denting and rapid deterioration, our substantial materials maintain structural integrity for decades.
Multi-Step Weatherproof Finish
Our meticulous powder-coating process has been salt-air tested for resilience in humid or marine environments. Each fixture undergoes multiple finishing steps to ensure color stability, weather resistance, and lasting beauty that maintains its appeal year after year.
Heirloom Quality That Ages Beautifully
While imported fixtures often fade, rust, and deteriorate within seasons, Hanover's lighting "weathers beautifully" over time. This exceptional durability means HOAs and property managers experience fewer maintenance issues and enjoy fixtures that continue to enhance property value for generations.

Dual-Source Engineering: Gas & Electric Options
Classic Gas Lanterns

Efficient Electric Solutions
Our electric lanterns offer modern convenience and energy efficiency while maintaining the same premium aesthetics. Available with LED options for sustainability and longevity, these fixtures provide reliable illumination with minimal maintenance requirements.
Hanover's unique dual-source capability means many lantern designs can be configured for either gas or electric illumination, giving showrooms the flexibility to serve diverse customer preferences from a single, customizable product platform.
Hanover vs. Overseas Manufacturers: The Quality Comparison
The Real Cost of Imported Lighting
While imported fixtures may have a lower initial price point, the total lifecycle cost often exceeds quality American-made alternatives. When accounting for import duties, shorter product lifespan requiring replacements, and increased maintenance needs, Hanover's premium fixtures actually deliver superior long-term value and significantly lower total cost of ownership.
