Hinkley

Overview

Founded in 1922, this company originated as a small residential outdoor lantern manufacturer based in Cleveland, Ohio. With a legacy of craftsmanship starting with solid copper fixtures, it later expanded its product line to incorporate specially treated steel and amber opal glass. Leadership across generations, notably by Stanley Wiedemer and his grandson Richard “Rick” Wiedemer, has propelled the organization into a prominent global lighting firm.

Its expertise centers on high-quality, durable outdoor and landscape lighting solutions, including outdoor lanterns and landscape fixtures. Since launching a dedicated landscape lighting line in 1987, it has earned a reputation for premium exterior lighting designed to withstand the elements and elevate outdoor spaces.
