Cleveland-2 Outdoor Medium Wall Lantern - Weathered Bronze

The Cleveland-2 is a 543mm outdoor wall lantern built from die-cast aluminium finished in weathered bronze, with a curved clear seeded glass shade and a single E27 bulb fitting. The seeded glass texture scatters light outward and downward, reducing glare while maintaining enough output for path illumination and door-step visibility after dark.

Designed for covered porches, sheltered entrance doors and perimeter walls where a traditional lantern style suits the architecture, the Cleveland-2 carries an IP44 rating protecting it from rain splashes and wind-blown dust. The 302mm projection from the wall means it sits proud enough to cast light onto paving or steps below. The E27 fitting accepts LED, halogen or filament bulbs up to 60W (sold separately), allowing control over colour temperature and output depending on whether the lantern is used for accent lighting or functional illumination.

The weathered bronze finish is applied over aluminium castings rather than steel, so the fixture resists corrosion in coastal and high-humidity environments better than mild steel equivalents. The finish itself has a matt, aged patina with copper undertones showing through on raised details, giving the lantern a lived-in appearance that suits period properties and heritage-style new builds. The ornamental scroll arm and beaded backplate detail are cast into the aluminium rather than applied, so they hold their definition over time without surface detail flaking off.

What does IP44 mean for outdoor use?

IP44 protects the lantern from solid objects over 1mm (including wind-blown debris) and water splashes from any direction. It suits covered porches, soffits and walls under eaves, but should not be used in fully exposed positions where driving rain hits the fitting directly.

What bulb should I use?

The lantern takes a standard E27 bulb up to 60W, sold separately. Most users pair this with a 6-10W LED bulb in 2700K warm white for exterior door lighting. A clear filament-style LED complements the seeded glass and traditional design.

How is it fitted to the wall?

The backplate fixes to the wall with two screws, typically into masonry plugs or directly into timber frame. The electrical cable feeds through a knockout hole in the backplate. The lantern weighs approximately 2.5kg when fitted, so standard wall plugs in brick or block are sufficient.

Does the weathered bronze finish change over time?

The finish is applied during manufacture and is designed to resist further weathering. In coastal or high-pollution environments the patina may darken slightly over several years, but the aluminium base will not rust or corrode as steel fittings can.
