Description
The Fasvette is a traditional lantern bollard light for the garden, with a six-sided head of clear glass panels set in a black cast aluminium frame, topped by a small finial and carried on a slim round pole that rises from a flared hexagonal base. It stands 100cm tall and measures 20.5cm across at its widest, with a base 17cm across, so it reads as a proper post light beside a path without towering over the planting. It takes one E27 bulb of up to 60W, which is not included. With an IP44 rating it is protected from splashing water, so it lives outdoors in a garden, beside a path or along a drive.
We like it along a front path, at the edge of a patio or at the turn of a driveway, where it marks the way to the door after dark. The black finish sits well against brick, render and stone, and the clear glass lets the bulb show, so the bulb you choose becomes part of the look. It suits anyone who wants the shape of a classic street lamp in a smaller size, whether that is a cottage garden or the front of a period house.
The body is cast aluminium in black, and aluminium does not rust, which matters for a light that lives in the garden. The panels are glass, and glass does not yellow in sunlight the way some plastics do. There is no switch on the light itself: it is switched at the wall, so you control it from a wall switch like any other light at home. It runs on mains power at 220-240V, 50/60Hz, and as a wired-in mains light it is installed by a qualified electrician. Packed, it weighs 1.508KG. The installation instructions come as a download, so your electrician can read them before the day of fitting.
