Description
The Fasvette is a traditional lantern-style outdoor post light in black, with a cast aluminium body and clear glass panels. Its hexagonal lantern has a sloping roof topped with a finial and sits on a short flared pedestal that steps out to a hexagonal foot. It stands 38.5cm tall, measures 19.5cm in diameter and sits on a base 17cm in diameter, so it suits a pillar top or low wall where a taller lamp post would look out of scale. It takes an E27 bulb of up to 60W, and the bulb is not included. The IP44 rating means it is protected from splashing water, so it can stand outdoors on a gatepost pillar, a low wall or beside a patio.
A black lantern with clear glass sits comfortably beside brick, stone and painted render, and it looks just as at home on a period house as on a newer build. Set them on the pillars at the end of a driveway to mark the entrance, or stand one where a garden path turns so guests can find their footing after dark. What you gain is light exactly where people walk, at a low height that picks out steps and edges.
Aluminium does not rust, which matters for a light that stays outside whatever the weather, and the body here is cast aluminium finished in black. There is no switch on the light itself, as it is switched at the wall. It runs on 220-240V mains and, as a wired-in light, is installed by a qualified electrician; the installation instructions come as a download. Packed, it weighs 0.873KG. Because the glass is clear, the bulb is always on view, so a decorative filament bulb is worth choosing. Glass wipes clean with a soft damp cloth, which keeps the lantern looking bright.
