Helsingor 1 Light Pedestal Light - Black

The Helsingor is a 305mm-tall black pedestal light built from 304-grade stainless steel with a powder-coated black finish and clear seeded glass panels protecting a single E27 bulb fitting. Three tiered metal shades sit above the glass enclosure, directing light downward while the seeded glass diffuses light horizontally across pathways and garden beds.

Designed for front gardens, driveways, low boundary walls and gate posts, the Helsingor carries an IP44 rating providing protection from rain and dust for year-round outdoor use. The 304-grade stainless steel core resists corrosion in coastal environments where salt spray accelerates metal degradation. The powder-coated finish adds a secondary corrosion barrier and gives a low-sheen black surface that pairs with both traditional and contemporary exteriors.

The pedestal mounts onto a flat surface via a circular base plate with pre-drilled fixing holes. The tiered shade design references Scandinavian mid-century outdoor lighting, where layered metal reflectors were used to control glare while maximising usable light at ground level. The clear seeded glass shows subtle texture under daylight and creates a soft sparkle effect when lit after dark. The E27 socket accepts standard LED, halogen or filament bulbs up to 60W (sold separately), giving control over light temperature and output depending on the application.

What bulb does it take?

The Helsingor takes a standard E27 (Edison screw) bulb up to 60W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with a warm-white LED bulb between 6-10W and 2700K for outdoor pathway lighting.

Can it be used in coastal areas?

Yes. The 304-grade stainless steel construction with powder-coated finish provides corrosion resistance suitable for coastal environments where salt spray is present.

How is it mounted?

The pedestal mounts via a circular base plate with pre-drilled fixing holes. It can be fixed to flat surfaces such as gate posts, low boundary walls, or paved areas using appropriate fixings for the substrate (masonry bolts for brick/stone, coach screws for timber posts).

Is the glass sealed against rain?

Yes. The IP44 rating confirms the glass enclosure is sealed against splashing water from any direction. The seeded glass panels are held in a weatherproof frame that protects the bulb and internal components from rain and dust.
