And because sometimes the best way to explain “wet location” is with a live demonstration… well, Michael takes one for the team. 💦😂

At AFX, we believe every fixture deserves the same thoughtful approach—from proportion and performance to materials, finishes and the details that bring it all together.

The result is lighting that feels considered, distinctive and accessible—designed to look right, perform beautifully and bring lasting value to the spaces it illuminates.
