Description
The Horatio is an oval bulkhead light in solid brass with a verdigris finish. A sturdy brass cage sits over a clear ribbed glass diffuser, and four fixing lugs stand out from the body, two at the top and two at the bottom. It is 16cm wide and 16.5cm high, with a length of 25cm, and it weighs 1.7KG, so it has real heft for its size. It is rated IP64, which means it is dust-tight and protected from splashing water, so it lives happily outdoors in British weather through every season.
The maker says the Horatio takes its influence from traditional maritime lighting, and the caged oval form shows it at once. It suits a front door or a porch, a garden wall, an outbuilding or a boathouse, anywhere a plain modern wall light would feel out of place. The maker also says the maritime influence can be seen in the materials, designs and even the names of its range. The verdigris finish looks especially good against painted render, weathered timber and old brick, and it is a natural choice for a coastal cottage or a converted barn.
The maker describes the Horatio as handcrafted from solid brass, and points out that brass has been chosen at sea for generations for its resistance to salt air and seawater. It also says the brass on this light ages naturally, so its appearance changes gradually as it develops a patina. The cable enters through a gland at the end or the rear, and a brass blank is included to close the opening you leave unused, so you can choose whichever route suits your wall. It takes one E27 (ES) lamp of up to 18W, and the lamp is not included, so have one ready. As a mains light, it should be installed by a qualified electrician.

Frequently Asked
Can the Horatio bulkhead stay outside in winter?
Yes. It is rated IP64, which means it is dust-tight and protected against splashing water, so it can stay on an outside wall through British weather in every season.
Could I use this verdigris bulkhead in a bathroom?
With an IP64 rating it can be considered for a bathroom, and a qualified electrician will confirm the right zone for it in your room.
What bulb does the Horatio take?
It takes one E27 (ES) lamp of up to 18W. The lamp is not included, so you will need to buy one separately before the light goes in.
How big is the Horatio oval bulkhead?
It is 16cm wide and 16.5cm high, with a length of 25cm, and it weighs 1.7KG, which makes it a solid piece of brass for its size.
Will the verdigris finish change over time?
The maker says the brass on the Horatio ages naturally, so its appearance will change gradually as it develops a patina outdoors over the years.
