Description
The Horatio is an oval bulkhead light made of solid brass in an antique brass finish, and the maker says it takes its influence from traditional maritime lighting. A clear ribbed glass diffuser sits behind a sturdy brass cage, with four brass lugs at the corners and a brass gland at one end. It measures 25cm long, 16cm wide and 16.5cm high and weighs 1.7KG, so it has real substance on a wall. It is rated IP64, which settles the question: it is dust-tight and protected from splashing water, so it can live outdoors in British weather all year round.
Fix it beside a front door, in a porch, along a garden wall or on a boathouse, garage or outbuilding, wherever a wall needs a dependable light with some character. The maker says the maritime influence shows in the materials, designs and names of its range, and the Horatio carries that look well: the cage and ribbed lens sit naturally on a coastal cottage, a converted barn or a town house. Brass has a long history at sea, and the maker notes it was chosen for its resistance to salt air and seawater, which makes this a sensible choice for homes near the coast as well as further inland.
The maker says the brass on the Horatio ages naturally, so its appearance changes gradually as it develops a patina, and the antique finish gives it a head start on that lived-in look. Cable enters through a gland at the end or the rear, and a brass blank is included to close the opening you do not need. It takes one E27 (ES) lamp of up to 18W, and the lamp is not included. As with any mains light, it should be installed by a qualified electrician. Buy a lamp alongside it, and the Horatio is ready to light the day it is fitted.

Frequently Asked
Can the Horatio bulkhead light be used outdoors?
Yes. It is rated IP64, so it is dust-tight and protected from splashing water, which means it can stay on an outside wall in British weather all year round.
What bulb does the Horatio bulkhead take?
It takes one E27 (ES) lamp of up to 18W. The lamp is not included, so you will need to buy one separately.
How big is the Horatio oval bulkhead light?
It measures 25cm long, 16cm wide and 16.5cm high and weighs 1.7KG, a substantial size that holds its own beside a porch or front door.
Will the antique brass finish change over time?
The maker says the brass ages naturally, so its appearance will change gradually as it develops a patina. Solid brass darkens and mellows outdoors.
Can the Horatio be used in a bathroom?
At IP64 it is rated highly enough to be considered for a bathroom, and a qualified electrician will confirm the right zone.
Where does the cable enter the Horatio?
