Cascinetta Outdoor Post Light - Black

The Cascinetta is a square, lantern-style outdoor post light with a cast aluminium body in black. It is 15cm long, 15cm wide and 30.5cm high. Four slim uprights rise from a square base to a flat square top, with a clear glass cylinder held inside the frame. In the centre sits an E27 lampholder that takes one bulb of up to 40W. The bulb is not included, so the colour and style of light are yours to choose. It is rated IP54, which means it is protected from splashing water and is made to live outdoors, on a post or pillar in the garden.

Set on top of a gatepost, a brick pillar at the end of the drive or a low post beside a path, it marks the entrance once the light fades. At 30.5cm high and 15cm square, it is tall enough to hold its own on a post, yet compact enough for a narrow pillar cap. The clear glass puts the bulb on show as part of the look, and the plain square frame sits beside both period brickwork and modern render. It suits anyone who wants a classic lantern shape at the top of a post, in a fitting that stands up to splashing rain.

The body is cast aluminium, and aluminium does not rust the way steel does, which matters outdoors. The frame has a finely textured black finish, and the shade is clear glass. There is no switch on the light itself: it is switched at the wall, and it runs on a mains supply of 220 to 240V at 50 or 60Hz. As a wired-in mains light, it should be installed by a qualified electrician, and the installation instructions come as a download. The packed weight is 1.685KG. When you choose a bulb, pick one worth seeing, since the clear glass leaves it in full view.

No, the bulb is not included. It takes one E27 bulb of up to 40W, so you can choose the colour and style of light you prefer.

How big is the Cascinetta post light?

It is 15cm long, 15cm wide and 30.5cm high, so it sits neatly on top of a gatepost or a garden pillar.

Does the post light have its own switch?

No, there is no switch on the light itself. It is switched at the wall rather than on the fitting, so a wall switch controls it.

What material is the black post light?
