Clasvarne Downward Outdoor Wall Light - Black

The Clasvarne is a downward outdoor wall light in the shape of a traditional lantern, with a black cast aluminium body and a clear plastic shade crossed by black bands. It hangs below a round wall bracket under a shallow hooded top, so the light falls downwards over a doorway or path. It is 22.5cm high, 17cm long and stands 19cm out from the wall, a compact size that sits comfortably beside a front door. It takes an E27 bulb of up to 60W, and the bulb is not included, so you choose the colour and brightness yourself. With an IP44 rating it is protected from splashing water, which means it can live outdoors on a house wall through rain and wet weather.

We see it beside front and back doors, on a porch, along a side passage or on a garden wall, wherever you want a familiar lantern shape and light at the point you need it most. The clear shade keeps the bulb visible, so a filament-style bulb becomes part of the look, while a plainer bulb gives straightforward light for finding keys and steps after dark. Because corner mounting is possible, it also suits the corner of a building where a flat stretch of wall is hard to find. The black finish sits quietly against white render, brick or painted timber alike.

The body is cast aluminium, and aluminium does not rust, which matters on a wall that faces the weather through every season. The shade is clear plastic, and the light weighs 0.777KG packed. There is no switch on the light itself, as it is switched at the wall. It runs on 220-240V mains at 50/60Hz and, as a wired-in light, should be installed by a qualified electrician. Before fitting, choose an E27 bulb of no more than 60W, since the box holds no bulb.
