Como Outdoor Wall Lantern - Black IP54

The Como is a black outdoor wall lantern with a curved bracket arm suspending a bell-shaped shade over a clear teardrop glass enclosure. The fitting is cast from aluminium and finished in black powder coat, giving corrosion resistance for exposed outdoor installation. An IP54 rating provides protection against dust ingress and water splashes from any direction, making the lantern suitable for locations around front doors, side entrances, garden walls and covered patios.

The 390mm projection from the wall gives the Como a substantial presence on elevations where traditional coach-style lighting suits the architecture. The curved arm and turned detailing on the bracket give period character without heaviness, pairing comfortably with Victorian, Edwardian and Georgian brickwork as well as rendered contemporary builds. The clear glass allows full light output downward and outward, casting a pool of illumination onto steps, pathways or doorways where visibility matters for security and safe access after dark.

The E27 lampholder accepts any standard Edison screw bulb up to 60W (bulb sold separately), allowing choice of warm-white LED for daily use or vintage filament styles where decorative glow is preferred. The 440mm height and 270mm width give the lantern enough scale to read clearly on a two-storey elevation without overwhelming a typical front door surround. Cast aluminium construction adds durability in coastal and high-rainfall environments where sheet-metal fittings corrode quickly. Norlys backs the Como with a 5-year guarantee.

What does the IP54 rating mean for outdoor use?

IP54 means the lantern is protected against dust ingress (the '5') and water splashes from any direction (the '4'). It is suitable for installation under eaves, on porch walls, or on open walls exposed to rain. It is not submersion-rated, so do not install where water can pool inside the fitting.

What bulb should I use?

The E27 socket accepts any standard Edison screw bulb up to 60W. Most users pair this with a warm-white LED bulb between 6-10W and 2700K-3000K for energy-efficient outdoor lighting. Vintage filament-style LED bulbs also work well if decorative glow is preferred over maximum brightness.

How far does it project from the wall?

The lantern projects 390mm from the wall surface to the furthest point of the glass enclosure. This gives enough clearance for the light to cast downward and outward, but ensure there is adequate space if installing near a pathway or door swing.

Is the black finish durable in coastal areas?

Yes. The cast aluminium construction with powder-coated black finish is resistant to corrosion in coastal and high-rainfall environments where sheet-metal fittings degrade quickly. Norlys manufactures outdoor lighting for Scandinavian climates, where salt spray and freeze-thaw cycles demand robust materials.
