Description
Five slender arms branch from the head of a single anthracite post, each carrying a small opal white capsule shade. The light spreads sideways as well as down, reaching roughly 42cm across at its widest. Each shade takes a G9 lamp, and we would fit LED capsules here, no more than 5W apiece, for warm light that costs little to leave on through an evening.
Outdoors is where it belongs: it is sealed against driving rain and the odd blast from a hose, so it can stand at a driveway edge, mark a path through planting, or flank a front door in a pair. The scale suits a front garden or a courtyard where a tall bollard would feel heavy handed and a spike light would vanish into the border. Because the heads are small, it lights the ground and the planting nearest it without flooding a neighbour's window. Output is fixed rather than dimmed, so a timer or dusk sensor is the tidiest way to have it come on by itself.
The post and arms are finished in matt anthracite, a shade that steps back into planting by day and hides watermarks better than anything pale would. The shades are opal white, diffusing each capsule so you read a glow rather than a bright point. For care, switch off at the supply, let the shades cool, then wipe them with a damp cloth and dry them; keep leaf litter and soil from banking up around the foot. It carries a two year warranty. We stock the same design with fewer heads where a smaller garden calls for less light. Lamps are not included.

Frequently Asked
How tall is the post?
It stands 1130mm high, with the arms spreading 417mm wide and 576mm front to back, so allow a clear pocket of planting or paving around it.
Which lamps should I use?
It takes five G9 capsules, rated to a maximum of 5W each. LED capsules are the sensible choice outdoors, as they run cooler and last far longer than halogen.
Can it be dimmed?
No. It is a switched fitting only, so use a timer or photocell if you want automatic dusk-to-dawn operation rather than a dimmer.
Will it cope with a wet winter?
Yes. It is rated IP65, which covers rain, spray and washing down, so it can sit in an open, exposed spot.
How do I keep the shades looking clean?
With the power off and the glass cool, wipe each shade with a damp cloth and dry it. Cobwebs and pollen build up fastest in spring, so a wipe every few weeks through that period keeps the output bright.
What does it weigh?
Just under 1.3kg, and it arrives in a single long carton.
