Cedar Point Outdoor Wall Lantern Small - Black

The Cedar Point is a 248mm outdoor wall lantern in a black powder-coated metal frame with seeded glass panels divided by a craftsman-style grid pattern. The lantern houses a single E27 bulb (sold separately) behind four panes of seeded glass, which diffuse the light into a warm glow through the textured surface. The IP44 rating confirms the fitting is protected against solid objects above 1mm and water splashes from any direction, making it suitable for covered porches, door surrounds, and sheltered garden walls.

Designed to be mounted on external walls flanking front doors, garage entries, or along pathways where covered by an overhang, the Cedar Point projects 182mm from the wall on a short arm that fixes to a 146mm-square backplate. The fitting works in pairs either side of a door, or as a single accent beside a side entrance. The seeded glass provides enough diffusion to avoid harsh glare from exposed filament bulbs while maintaining visibility of the bulb itself when lit, giving a layered depth to the light output.

The black finish is a low-sheen powder coat over die-cast aluminium, offering corrosion resistance in UK coastal and urban environments. The grid detailing on each glass panel references Arts & Crafts and Prairie-style architecture without being ornate, which allows the lantern to pair comfortably with both traditional cottage exteriors and contemporary new-build homes in darker cladding or render. The 60W maximum rating accepts LED, halogen or filament E27 bulbs depending on the desired light temperature and energy consumption.

Can this lantern be used in fully exposed outdoor locations?

The IP44 rating protects against water splashes from any direction, but the Cedar Point is designed for sheltered positions such as covered porches, door canopies, or walls under eaves. Fully exposed positions subject to driving rain may require a higher IP rating such as IP65.

What type of bulb is recommended?

The fitting takes a standard E27 bulb up to 60W. Most users pair this with a warm-white LED filament bulb between 4-8W and 2200K-2700K to suit the craftsman aesthetic and provide adequate door lighting without over-illuminating the seeded glass panels.

Does the seeded glass affect light output?

Yes. The textured seeded glass diffuses light, softening the output and reducing glare from exposed filament bulbs. This creates a warmer ambient glow rather than a focused beam, which suits decorative exterior lighting where harsh brightness is unwanted.

How is the lantern mounted?

The 146mm-square backplate fixes directly to an external wall using appropriate wall plugs and screws for the substrate (brick, render, timber cladding). The lantern projects 182mm from the wall once installed. Wiring must be completed by a qualified electrician and protected according to UK exterior wiring standards.
