Description
The Horatio is an oval bulkhead light with a solid brass body finished in silver, with clear ribbed glass set behind a sturdy cage and four mounting lugs at its corners. The cage guards the glass and gives the light its working, nautical character. It measures 25cm long, 16cm wide and 16.5cm high and weighs 1.7KG, so this is a properly substantial wall light. It is rated IP64, which means it is dust-tight and protected from splashing water from any direction, so it can live outdoors through British weather all year round.
It suits a front door or porch, a garden wall, a side passage, an outbuilding or a boathouse: anywhere a sturdy wall light with a seafaring look feels right. The maker says the Horatio takes its influence from traditional maritime lighting, and that this maritime influence shows in the range's materials, designs and its names. In silver, that working shape takes on a cool, clean tone that sits against grey render, painted brick, white weatherboarding or dark timber cladding. A pair either side of a door frames the entrance nicely, and a single light makes a sound choice for a gable end or a back door.
The maker describes the Horatio as handcrafted from solid brass, a metal it says has been chosen at sea for generations for its resistance to salt air and seawater. The cable comes in through a gland at the end or the rear, and a brass blank is included to take the place of the gland, giving a choice of entry to suit the wall. The maker also says individual parts can be replaced, so the light can stay in use rather than being thrown away. As a mains light, it should be installed by a qualified electrician. It takes one E27 (ES) lamp up to 18W, and the lamp is not included, so have one ready before fitting day.
