Which lamps built the brand?

Before Brightech made lamps, it made string lights.

Before Brightech made lamps, it made string lights. Since 2012 its weatherproof outdoor strands, built to stay up all year, have earned it a name for quality on patios and in backyards: its top-selling solar string lights have more than 26,000 reviews on Amazon. The lamps came next, and a handful became best sellers year after year: the Sky, the Montage Modern, the Mason, the Logan, the Luna and the Sphere. Along the way they defined the Brightech look: brass, marble and frosted glass globes.

Since 2012

From string lights to lamps

  1. 2012Brightech starts with LED string lights
  2. 2018Solar string lights join the line, for yards with no outlet
  3. 2026Color-changing RGB string lights, and more to come

Where it started: string lights

Brightech's first reputation was built outdoors. The Ambience Pro plug-in string lights use a heavy-duty weatherproof cable and shatterproof Edison-style bulbs, so they can stay up through every season instead of coming down each fall, and when one bulb fails you replace that bulb, not the whole strand. The Glow Heavy Duty strand pairs the same weatherproof cable with glass bulbs and brass-colored sockets. Ambience Pro Solar strands followed for yards and pergolas with no outlet nearby, and they are the line's most reviewed, with more than 26,000 reviews on Amazon. In 2026 the RGB Hybrid string lights added color: they run on solar power or plug in, and change color from a remote.

The lamp that lit up living rooms: the Sky

The Sky Floor Lamp is Brightech's most visited product and one of its steadiest best sellers, rated 4.8 out of 5 from 255 reviews on brightech.com alone. Its appeal is simple: a slim 63 inch pole on a 10 inch base that throws 2,190 lumens at the ceiling, enough to light a room with no overhead fixture. It comes in a wide range of finishes, from Black and Brass to Cream, Green and Red, and Brass is one of the two most popular.

The everyday classic: the Montage Modern

The Montage Modern Floor Lamp is the lamp many homes start with, and one of Brightech's steadiest best sellers: rated 4.7 out of 5 from 91 reviews, with 97% of buyers recommending it. A 60 inch pole, a linen drum shade 14.75 inches across and a weighted base keep it simple, and its included bulb has five color settings, from warm white to daylight, so one lamp covers reading, work and winding down. It comes in Antique Brass, Black, Silver, Pleated Brass and Cream Gold Shade, the last with a gold-lined shade that warms its light.

The arcs: Mason and Logan

The Mason and the Logan brought the over-the-sofa arc lamp to Brightech, and marble to its identity. Both sit on genuine marble bases, which counterweight the arc so the shade can hang out over the seating: white marble under the Mason in Silver, black marble under the Logan. Buyers rate them 4.7 out of 5 from 165 reviews (Mason) and 140 reviews (Logan).

The globes: Luna and Sphere

The Luna and the Sphere made the frosted glass globe a Brightech signature. The Luna sets a single frosted glass globe on an antique brass stem and is rated 4.8 out of 5 from 194 reviews. The Sphere stacks two frosted white glass globes on a slim stem, rated 4.7 from 117 reviews. Frosted glass spreads the light into a soft, even glow instead of a bright point, which is why these lamps read calm even when they are on all evening.

Brass, marble and frosted glass: the Brightech look

Put those best sellers side by side and a clear identity appears. Brass runs through the Sky, the Luna, the Logan, the Olivia and the Trilage. Marble anchors the arcs and gives them their weight and their polish. Frosted glass globes soften the light. The three work together because they balance each other: warm metal, cool stone and diffused glass. The Luna Drop brings all three into one lamp: a brass arc, a marble base and a frosted glass globe. The style sits where midcentury modern meets contemporary, at home in both.

Table lamps that carry it forward

The same materials shaped Brightech's first table lamps, the Kai USB and the Aspen USB. The Kai sets a frosted glass globe on a brass base and adds a USB port for the nightstand, and it is rated 4.9 out of 5 from 16 reviews. The Aspen stands a frosted glass globe on a marble base, in a brass or nickel finish, with three dimming settings and a USB port.
