Galena 1 Light Outdoor Wall Lantern - Weathered Grey Seeded Glass

The Galena is a 286mm outdoor wall lantern with a tapered lantern body in weathered grey metal, seeded glass panels on four sides, and a decorative hanging ring detail at the top. The lantern takes a single E27 bulb (sold separately) inside the seeded glass enclosure, which diffuses light outward while the textured glass adds visual interest when viewed directly.

Designed for UK front doors, porch areas, side entrances and garage walls, the Galena carries an IP44 rating for outdoor use where it will face rain and dust but not submersion or pressure-washing. The 175mm projection from the wall suits typical door surrounds without obstructing pedestrian movement. The weathered grey finish provides a neutral backdrop that pairs with brick, render, painted wood cladding and stone.

The seeded glass is moulded with small air bubbles and irregularities that scatter the light path, softening harsh shadows and reducing glare when the lantern is viewed from an approach angle. The metal frame uses a powder-coated aluminium construction that resists corrosion better than mild steel in coastal or high-rainfall areas. The lantern weighs approximately 1.2kg and fixes to a standard UK outdoor wall plate via two screws through the rear mounting bracket.

What does the IP44 rating mean for outdoor use?

IP44 protects the internal electrics from solid objects larger than 1mm and from splashes of water from any direction. This suits most UK outdoor wall positions where the lantern faces rain and wind but not direct pressure-washing or submersion.

What bulb should I use?

The Galena takes a standard E27 (Edison screw) bulb up to 60W maximum. Most users choose a warm-white LED bulb between 6-10W and 2700K-3000K for a welcoming glow at the front door. Bulbs are sold separately.

Can this be used in exposed coastal locations?

The powder-coated aluminium frame resists corrosion better than mild steel, making it suitable for coastal areas. However, salt spray and high winds will eventually degrade any outdoor fitting — annual inspection and gentle cleaning extend the service life.

How is the seeded glass cleaned?

Wipe the seeded glass panels with a damp microfibre cloth and mild soapy water. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can scratch the textured surface. Clean from the inside if possible, as exterior cleaning may push dirt into the seeded texture.
