Description
A short round post light with a frosted diffuser and an anthracite finish, standing 35cm tall on a slim 12cm profile. A single E27 socket sits behind the shade, and the frosting spreads the light softly all the way round rather than throwing it in one direction. The proportions are modest on purpose, so it works as a quiet marker at ground level rather than the brightest thing in the garden.
It is one we reach for along paths, driveway edges and the border of a patio, where you want the route readable after dark without glare at eye level. It is sealed well enough for open ground, so rain and blown dust are not a worry. We would fit an LED GLS lamp of up to 12W, which is plenty for this size of diffuser, and the fitting will dim if you pair a dimmable lamp with a compatible dimmer. Spaced evenly along a run, several of them give a garden a calm rhythm; used singly, one flanking a side gate or a garage door does the job neatly.
The anthracite is a dark, low-sheen grey that recedes against planting and hard landscaping alike, and the frosted shade keeps the lit appearance even. Outdoors, the only upkeep worth bothering with is an occasional wipe with a damp cloth to lift grit and cobwebs off the diffuser, with the power off and the lamp cold first; give the top a look over after a hard winter. It carries a two year warranty. We stock the round shape in anthracite and matt white, with a taller version of both if you would rather the light sat higher, and there is a square-profile option in the same range if you prefer straight edges. No lamp is supplied.

Frequently Asked
What size is this post light?
It stands 350mm tall with a 120mm diameter, so it sits low and takes up very little ground space.
Which lamp should I use?
It takes one E27 lamp, and an LED GLS (A60) shape is the sensible choice. Keep to a maximum of 12W.
Can I dim it?
Yes, provided you fit a dimmable lamp and use a dimmer that is compatible with it.
Is it suitable for an exposed spot in the garden?
It is rated IP65, so it copes with rain and dust in open positions such as path edges and driveways.
What colours can I get it in?
We stock the round Chicago in anthracite and in matt white.
How do I clean the diffuser?
Switch off at the supply, let the lamp cool, then wipe the frosted shade with a damp cloth to remove grit and cobwebs and dry it off.
