Boynton 1 Light Outdoor Wall Lantern - Painted Brushed Steel

The Boynton is a single-light outdoor wall lantern built around a clear seeded glass cylinder set within a painted brushed steel frame. The glass sits inside a downward-angled metal shade and is held by a steel strap bracket that mounts to a rectangular backplate. An E27 bulb fitting inside the cylinder casts light through the seeded glass, creating scattered beam patterns across walls and pathways.

Designed for external use on porches, front doors, garage walls and garden feature walls, the Boynton carries an IP44 rating for protection against rain and splashes. The fitting projects 311mm from the wall, positioning the light source forward of the mounting surface to direct light downward and outward. The rectangular backplate measures 267mm wide and 328mm tall, fitting standard outdoor junction box positions on rendered, brick or timber cladding.

The frame is manufactured from a weather-resistant composite material finished in painted brushed steel, which provides the appearance of brushed metal with lower weight and improved corrosion resistance compared to solid steel in coastal or high-moisture environments. The seeded glass texture softens the filament glow of decorative LED or vintage-style E27 bulbs (sold separately, max 60W) while maintaining brightness for functional path and entry lighting. The Boynton is backed by a 5-year manufacturer guarantee.

What does the IP44 rating mean for outdoor use?

IP44 protects against solid objects larger than 1mm and splashing water from any direction. This makes the Boynton suitable for covered porches, door canopies, garage walls and any position where the fitting is not subject to direct sustained rainfall or submersion. It is not rated for full exposure positions such as open garden posts.

What bulb should I use?

The Boynton takes a standard E27 bulb up to 60W, sold separately. Most users pair this with a warm-white LED filament bulb between 4-8W and 2200K-2700K to complement the seeded glass and brushed steel finish. The clear glass cylinder displays the bulb shape, so decorative filament styles work well visually.

Can this be fitted to brick or rendered walls?

Yes. The rectangular backplate has fixing points for standard outdoor junction boxes and can be mounted to brick, render, timber cladding or composite panel walls. Use appropriate wall plugs and screws for the substrate type. The 311mm projection means the fitting extends quite far forward, so ensure clearance from door swings or access routes.

Is the painted brushed steel finish corrosion-resistant?

The frame is manufactured from a weather-resistant composite material with a painted finish that replicates the appearance of brushed steel. This construction offers better corrosion resistance than solid steel in high-moisture or coastal environments, while maintaining the visual character of metal.
