{"product_id":"ashland-bay-outdoor-1-light-chain-lantern-weathered-zinc","title":"Ashland Bay Outdoor 1 Light Chain Lantern - Weathered Zinc","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ashland Bay is a single-bulb outdoor chain lantern in a weathered zinc finish, built around a cylindrical cage frame with clear seeded glass panels and a metal top and base ring. The lantern measures 154mm wide by 327mm tall and hangs on a 1829mm chain (adjustable on installation) from a matching weathered zinc canopy. The seeded glass texture diffuses light from a single E27 bulb (sold separately) while the zinc-toned metalwork shows intentional surface weathering to resemble aged colonial-era exterior fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for covered porches, porch entries, pergola beams and sheltered doorways, the Ashland Bay carries an IP44 rating — protected against splashing water and solid objects above 1mm, making it suitable for use under eaves or overhangs but not in fully exposed positions subject to driving rain. The 432mm minimum drop (from ceiling rose to bottom of lantern) suits standard 2.4m porch ceilings, while the 2306mm maximum drop allows the lantern to be used on taller structures or suspended lower over porch steps. The chain conceals the cable run and can be shortened during installation by removing links.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe weathered zinc finish applies a darkened, oxidised patina over the metal frame, creating tonal variation across the surface that resembles natural zinc weathering rather than a uniform painted coating. The seeded glass panels show a bubbled texture that scatters light into soft radial patterns on nearby walls and ceilings when paired with a clear filament bulb. The E27 socket accepts standard LED, halogen or filament bulbs up to 60W — most users pair this with a 4-8W warm-white LED Edison-style bulb to match the colonial aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFitting Height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e327mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e154mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e154mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimum Drop\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e432mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Drop\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2306mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Wattage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSocket\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eE27\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBulb(s) Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP44\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGuarantee\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 Year Guarantee\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChain\/Wire\/Cord Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1829mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight Adjustable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOn Installation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does IP44 rating mean for outdoor use?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIP44 protects against splashing water from any direction and solid objects larger than 1mm. This makes the Ashland Bay suitable for covered porches, doorways under eaves, and pergola installations where the fitting is sheltered from direct rain. It is not suitable for fully exposed locations without overhead cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat bulb works best with this lantern?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe E27 socket accepts any standard Edison screw bulb up to 60W. A warm-white LED filament bulb (2700K, 4-8W) pairs well with the colonial style and seeded glass texture. Clear filament bulbs create visible light patterns through the seeded glass, while frosted bulbs provide more even diffusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the chain length be adjusted?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The 1829mm chain can be shortened during installation by removing links to suit your ceiling height. The minimum drop of 432mm (ceiling rose to bottom of lantern) is the shortest functional configuration. Excess chain is typically coiled inside the canopy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is the weathered zinc finish maintained?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe weathered zinc patina is applied during manufacture and requires no special maintenance. Wipe the metal frame with a dry cloth to remove dust. Avoid abrasive cleaners or polishes, which can strip the intentional weathering effect and expose the base metal underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kichler","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45655928340747,"sku":"KL-ASHLANDBAY8-S","price":115.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/kl-ashlandbay8-s_1ccbbba1-093e-496e-8499-3bb85d51d0c5.jpg?v=1721813004","url":"https:\/\/niori.co.uk\/products\/ashland-bay-outdoor-1-light-chain-lantern-weathered-zinc","provider":"Niori","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
