Admirals Cove Outdoor 1 Light Medium Wall Lantern - Textured Black

The Admirals Cove is a 478mm outdoor wall lantern built from composite material in a textured black finish, with a clear seeded glass enclosure behind a crosshatch metal frame. A single E27 bulb fitting (bulb sold separately) sits inside the lantern body, with the seeded glass diffusing light into a softer glow than clear glass would provide. The composite construction resists saltwater spray, UV degradation and moisture ingress better than painted steel or aluminium, and the IP44 rating confirms protection against water splashes from any direction.

Designed for front doors, side entrances, covered patios and garden walls where traditional lantern styling suits the property architecture, the Admirals Cove provides functional outdoor lighting without needing flush-to-wall mounting. The 270mm projection from the wall places the lantern body forward of the mounting surface, giving better light distribution to steps or pathways below. The curved scroll bracket and urn-shaped glass cage reference Tudor and Georgian lantern designs, pairing with brick, render and painted timber facades.

The seeded glass texture breaks up direct views of the bulb filament or LED element while still allowing most of the light output through, reducing glare compared to clear glass lanterns. The textured black finish on the composite body hides minor scuffs and weathering better than gloss finishes. At 208mm width, the lantern fits between standard door frames and window surrounds on most UK properties without overwhelming the wall space, and the 5-year guarantee from Kichler covers manufacturing defects.

What bulb does the Admirals Cove take?

The lantern takes a standard E27 Edison screw bulb up to 60W maximum. Bulbs are sold separately. Most installers pair this with a warm-white LED in the 6-10W range and 2700K colour temperature for outdoor entrance lighting.

Can it be used in coastal areas?

Yes. The composite construction is designed to resist saltwater spray and UV exposure without corroding or fading. The IP44 rating confirms protection against moisture ingress, making it suitable for exposed coastal locations.

What mounting surface is needed?

The lantern mounts via a rectangular backplate (visible in the image as the flat section against the wall). It requires a solid surface such as brick, render, timber cladding or masonry. The backplate conceals the electrical entry point and fixing screws.

Is the seeded glass replaceable if damaged?

The glass panels are part of the lantern assembly. For replacement glass or spare parts enquiries, contact Kichler directly or reach out to our team for assistance sourcing components under the 5-year guarantee.
