Delison Outdoor Wall Lantern - Rubbed Bronze (Medium)

The Delison is an outdoor wall lantern built around a rubbed bronze metal frame with four clear glass panels forming a tapered lantern shape. The frame measures 357mm tall by 203mm wide, projecting 254mm from the wall on a rectangular back plate. A single E27 bulb sits inside the glass enclosure, protected by the IP44-rated housing which keeps out rain and moisture from any angle except directly upward-facing surfaces.

Designed for porch entrances, garage side doors, and path-facing exterior walls where task lighting is needed after dark, the Delison mounts on a standard UK outdoor back box and takes any E27 LED or filament bulb up to 60W. The glass panels are removable for bulb access, held in place by the metal frame rather than clips or screws. The 254mm projection means the lantern sits clear of most wall cladding and provides forward light throw rather than wash.

The rubbed bronze finish is a dark brown-grey with subtle bronze undertones showing where the metal has been mechanically aged, giving the appearance of weathered outdoor metalwork. The finish pairs with both traditional cottage exteriors and contemporary cladding in grey or charcoal tones. Clear glass rather than frosted or seeded glass means the bulb is visible when lit, so pairing with a warm filament-style LED gives the most visually balanced result.

What does the IP44 rating mean for outdoor use?

IP44 means the lantern is protected against solid objects larger than 1mm and against water splashing from any direction. This makes it suitable for covered porches, exterior walls under eaves, and garage sides where direct overhead rain is minimal. It is not rated for fully exposed positions where heavy rain falls directly onto the top of the fitting.

What bulb works best with this lantern?

The fitting takes a standard E27 bulb up to 60W. Most users pair it with a 6-10W warm-white LED filament bulb at 2700K, which gives the visual appearance of a traditional Edison bulb while keeping energy use low. The clear glass shows the bulb directly, so filament-style LEDs look better than standard opaque LED bulbs.

How is the glass removed for bulb changes?

The four glass panels are held in place by the metal frame. Unscrew the frame sections to access the bulb holder inside, change the bulb, then reassemble the frame around the glass.
