With crisp raised lines across the glass shade, and brass parts reduced to their bare essentials, the Otis characterizes the clean mid-century style desired by a public that was eager for innovation.

A popular porch light on classic postwar ranch homes and ramblers, the Otis is as appealing flanking an entrance as it is lighting a back door or deck. For ceilings, see the Venus.

Tip: The shade shown, the BZ1498, is the only shade that fits this fixture.
