Description
BARE is the modern range, drawn in house for houses where a Victorian lantern would look borrowed. This is the box wall lantern from it: a squared, slightly tapered lantern with straight edges and clear glazing, sitting flat against the wall with almost no projection. The shape is deliberately close to an interior shade on a stand, which is what gives it its character against render, timber cladding or a flat modern elevation. It stands 285mm tall, which is small by the standards of the rest of the maker's catalogue.
Because it sits flush it works where nothing else fits: a narrow side passage, a doorway with a close-swinging door, a low soffit, a flat-roofed extension or a garden wall that people walk past. It is normally bought in pairs, one either side of a door or spaced along a wall, since the fitting is small enough that a single one can look lost on a wide elevation. It is built in galvanised mild steel with hand-cut glass, hand sprayed in gloss black enamel, and the BARE lanterns are rated IP44 and CE marked.
The lamp is an ordinary E27 screw fitting, supplied without a bulb, so the output and colour are yours; a squirrel-cage filament LED suits the clean shape, and 7W at 2700K keeps it warm. Everything in the BARE range is made to order in New Ross, County Wexford, so allow two to five weeks. Gloss black is standard and any RAL colour can be sprayed instead if you say so when ordering. Wiring an outdoor fitting is work for a qualified electrician on a protected circuit.

Frequently Asked
How far does it project from the wall?
Very little. It is a flush fitting, which is what makes it useful in a narrow passage or beside a door that swings close to the wall.
How tall is it?
285mm. That is small next to the rest of the maker's catalogue, which is why it usually goes up in pairs on a wider elevation.
What is it made of?
Galvanised mild steel with hand-cut clear glass, hand sprayed in gloss black enamel.
What IP rating does the BARE range carry?
The BARE lanterns are rated IP44 and CE marked, which covers splashing from any direction.
What bulb suits it?
An E27 screw lamp, not supplied. A squirrel-cage filament LED suits the clean shape; 7W at 2700K keeps the light warm.
Who designed the BARE range?
The maker's in-house designer, for modern homes. The lantern shape deliberately echoes an interior shade on a stand.
