Description
The Cargo is a solid brass outdoor wall light with a mirror nickel finish, a bright, reflective silver. Its body is built like a guarded ship's bulkhead light, with raised bands running across a clear ribbed glass lens and small glass windows above and below it. It is 22cm wide, 16cm long and 10.5cm deep, and at 2.4KG it has a reassuring weight in the hand. Rated IP64, it is dust-tight and protected from splashing water, so it can live outdoors through British weather.
Fix it beside a front door, under a porch, or along a garden wall or boathouse wherever you want an industrial or nautical effect. The maker describes the Cargo as giving a bold Neo-Classical look, and says the maritime influence shows in the range's materials, designs and names. The maker also says these lights are often supplied in pairs, and a matched pair either side of a door is a handsome way to frame an entrance. Although the Cargo is designed for outdoor use, the maker says it has been used quite extensively in luxury bathrooms. Its IP64 rating means it can be considered for one, and a qualified electrician will confirm the right zone.
Beneath the mirror nickel finish is a solid brass body, and solid brass, being free of iron, will not rust. The cable enters through a cable gland at the rear, so it can run straight into the wall behind the light rather than across its face. It takes one E27 (ES) screw lamp at up to 18W, and the lamp is not included, so pick one up too. As with any mains light, it should be installed by a qualified electrician. One practical note to finish: the glass is clear rather than frosted, so the lamp you choose will be seen through the ribs, and a tidy, good-looking bulb repays the thought.
