Proudly manufactured in the United States using Advanced Composite Material (ACM), this fixture exemplifies durable craftsmanship. Designed to endure the elements, its functionality will be supported in harshest of outdoor environments. The ThruColor finishing method refers to a process of mixing the color with the composite material prior to the molding process, resulting in the most durable finish on the market. Most manufactures will simply apply paint to a raw fixture which will leave you with a vulnerable color liable to chip, scratch, and discolor.
