Description
The Cappanna medium outdoor wall lantern is a 342mm-tall fixture with a textured black metal frame, waterfall-effect glass panels, and a single E27 bulb fitting. The squared lantern body sits beneath a protective canopy and decorative capstone finial, mounted on a wall bracket that projects 253mm from the wall surface. The fixture is IP44-rated for use in covered outdoor locations where it is protected from direct rain but exposed to damp conditions.
Designed for front entrances, covered porches, garage side doors and patio walls, the Cappanna medium sits between the smaller single-storey wall lights and larger statement lanterns in the Kichler outdoor range. The 215mm width suits standard brick coursing and the 253mm projection provides clearance from the wall without encroaching into walkways. The lantern is typically mounted 1.6-1.8m above ground level for entrance lighting, or higher on taller walls where architectural balance is needed.
The waterfall glass creates a vertical ripple texture that diffuses the bulb while allowing enough light transmission to illuminate a 2-3m radius around the fixture. The textured black finish is powder-coated onto the metal frame, giving a low-sheen surface that resists fading and corrosion in sheltered outdoor conditions. The E27 socket accepts any standard Edison screw bulb up to 60W, including LED filament bulbs and warm-white LEDs between 6-10W for typical residential use.
The capstone finial at the top of the lantern adds a craftsman-style detail that distinguishes the Cappanna from generic box lanterns. The angular frame and vertical glass orientation suit transitional and contemporary exteriors, while the proportions remain compatible with traditional brickwork and painted render facades. Kichler supplies the lantern with a 3-year guarantee covering manufacturing defects.

Frequently Asked
What does IP44 mean for outdoor use?
IP44 means the lantern is protected against solid objects larger than 1mm and water splashing from any direction. It is suitable for covered outdoor locations like porches, canopies and eaves where the fixture is sheltered from direct rainfall but exposed to damp conditions. It is not suitable for fully exposed walls with no overhang.
What bulb should I use?
The lantern takes a standard E27 Edison screw bulb up to 60W. Most users pair this with a 6-10W warm-white LED (2700K-3000K) for entrance lighting. LED filament bulbs in a clear or amber glass finish complement the waterfall glass texture.
Can this be mounted on brick or rendered walls?
Yes. The wall bracket is designed for masonry fixing using wall plugs and screws (not supplied). The 215mm width suits standard brick coursing and the bracket footprint is large enough to span mortar joints for secure fixing.
How far does it project from the wall?
The lantern projects 253mm from the wall surface when mounted. This provides clearance from the wall without encroaching into narrow walkways, making it suitable for entrances and side passages with 1m or more of clearance.
