Description
The Hull Guard is a caged pendant lantern in solid brass with a satin nickel finish, a soft grey sheen. A wide hood sits over clear ribbed glass, and a brass guard wraps the glass to protect it; the maker says the design takes its influence from traditional hanging marine lights. The lantern is 16cm across and 23cm tall, and at 1.91KG it is a weighty, substantial piece. It is rated IP54, which means it is protected against dust and against water splashed from any direction, so it copes with British weather under cover. The maker describes it as designed for sheltered outdoor use.
That makes it a good fit for a porch, a covered entrance or another sheltered space where you want the light to hang rather than sit flat on the wall. It comes with a matching chain and ceiling cup, and the whole light hangs at up to 83cm with the full chain, or 40cm with the chain shortened, so you can bring it down into a tall open porch or keep it tucked up under a low canopy. The satin nickel suits a crisp coastal look, or a house front where warm brass would feel out of step. The maker says the maritime influence shows in the materials, designs and names of the range.
Beneath the satin nickel finish the body is solid brass, a metal that does not rust. The maker says the cable connection is made through the top rose. It takes one E27 (ES) screw lamp of up to 18W, and the lamp is not included, so pick one up alongside it. As with any mains light, it should be installed by a qualified electrician. One practical point: measure the clearance under your porch roof before you settle on the drop, so a tall visitor walks beneath the lantern without ducking.
