Description
The Ashland Bay is a 471mm pedestal lantern in burnished bronze with a cylindrical clear seeded glass enclosure and a hinged metal handle at the top, designed for outdoor mounting on gate pillars, porch columns and driveway entries. The lantern takes a single E27 bulb up to 60W (sold separately) and carries an IP44 rating for protection against rain and dust. The burnished bronze finish provides a warm, aged metallic tone that weathers naturally over time in outdoor conditions.
Designed for residential gardens, driveways and front entrances, the Ashland Bay sits on a cylindrical base that bolts down to flat surfaces including stone pillars, rendered brick columns and timber posts. The 193mm diameter footprint gives a stable fixing without needing a large mounting surface, allowing the lantern to be positioned on pillars as narrow as 250mm square. The clear seeded glass creates a textured light output when paired with a filament or LED Edison-style bulb, casting warm pooled light downwards onto pathways and steps while the handle detail at the top adds a colonial accent.
The IP44 rating means the lantern is protected against solid objects over 1mm and water splashes from any direction, making it suitable for exposed outdoor positions in UK climates without needing additional shelter. The seeded glass panels are held within a bronze frame that features horizontal ribbing detail around the top and bottom, echoing the traditional hurricane lamp design. The burnished bronze finish is applied over die-cast aluminium and steel components, giving the lantern a corrosion-resistant construction that holds up in coastal and urban environments.

Frequently Asked
What bulb does the Ashland Bay take?
The lantern takes a standard E27 (Edison screw) bulb up to 60W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with a warm-white LED filament bulb between 4-8W and 2200K-2700K to replicate the traditional oil-lamp appearance.
Can it be mounted on a brick pillar?
Yes. The 193mm circular base is designed to bolt down to flat surfaces including brick, stone, rendered block and timber. Fixings are not supplied, so appropriate screws and wall plugs will be needed depending on the substrate. The pillar should be at least 250mm square to provide adequate support.
Is it suitable for coastal areas?
The lantern is constructed from die-cast aluminium and steel with a burnished bronze finish, which provides good corrosion resistance. In exposed coastal positions with salt spray, periodic cleaning and inspection of fixings is recommended to maintain performance over the 3-year guarantee period.
What does the IP44 rating mean?
IP44 means the lantern is protected against solid objects over 1mm (including insects and debris) and water splashes from any direction. It can withstand rain, but is not designed for submersion or high-pressure water jets.
