Bay Shore Outdoor 1 Light Small Wall Lantern - Polished Brass

The Bay Shore is a 263mm outdoor wall lantern with a polished solid brass frame, clear bevelled glass panels, and a single E27 bulb fitting. The lantern sits on a matching polished brass wall mount and uses Kichler's Life Brite polished brass finish, which carries a 5-year guarantee against tarnishing under outdoor exposure.

Designed for porch lighting, front door positions and exterior walkway lighting, the lantern casts light through four bevelled glass panels that refract the bulb source into multiple points. The IP44 rating protects against dust ingress and water splashes from any angle, making the fitting suitable for exposed positions including coastal environments. The 147mm width and 170mm projection from the wall suit narrow porch canopies and entrance alcoves where a full-size coach lantern would overpower the scale.

The polished brass finish reflects daylight and gives a warm metallic accent against rendered, brick or painted exteriors. The bevelled glass panels are cut at precise angles to scatter light and reduce glare when viewed directly, while the clear glass (not frosted or seeded) maximises light output. The lantern accepts any standard E27 bulb up to 60W, giving flexibility to choose filament-effect LED for traditional character or plain LED for maximum output.

What does the IP44 rating mean for outdoor use?

IP44 means the lantern is protected against solid objects larger than 1mm (dust and debris) and against water splashes from any direction. This makes it suitable for covered porch positions, open-front canopies, and fully exposed wall positions including coastal environments.

What bulb does it 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 for traditional character, or a plain LED for maximum light output.

How is the polished brass finish maintained?

Kichler's Life Brite finish is designed to resist tarnishing for at least 5 years under normal outdoor conditions without polishing. If the brass begins to patina after that period, it can be cleaned with a soft cloth and brass cleaner, though many users allow the natural patina to develop for added character.

Can it be fitted under a flat porch canopy?

Yes. The 263mm height and 170mm projection suit narrow porch canopies and entrance alcoves. The lantern projects 170mm from the wall when fitted, so ensure there is sufficient clearance from any porch edge or door swing.
