Huntersfield 2 Light Outdoor Wall Lantern - Black

The Huntersfield is a 479mm outdoor wall lantern with a tapered lantern cage in black aluminium and brass, fitted with clear seeded glass panels on all four sides. Two E14 candle bulbs (sold separately, max 40W each) sit inside the cage, with light passing through the seeded glass texture to create a softened, diffused glow across walls and paving.

Designed for residential entryways, porch sides, covered patios and garden walls, the lantern provides functional illumination while carrying an IP44 rating against water ingress from splashing and rain. The 274mm projection from the wall suits mounting on brick, rendered or timber-clad exterior walls where the fitting needs to clear door frames or downpipes. The curved arm bracket and turned finial detailing give the lantern a traditional coach-light silhouette without overwhelming contemporary or period architecture.

The aluminium and brass construction resists corrosion in UK coastal and urban environments, while the black powder-coat finish hides minor scratches and marks better than lighter colours. The seeded glass panes show small bubbles and texture variations when lit, adding visual interest at night. The lantern weighs approximately 2.5kg and requires secure fixing to masonry or timber stud with appropriate wall plugs and screws (not supplied).

What does IP44 mean for outdoor use?

IP44 protects against splashing water from any direction and solid objects larger than 1mm. The Huntersfield can be mounted on walls exposed to rain and wind but should not be positioned where it will be submerged or under constant water jets. It suits covered porches, open patios and entryways without additional shelter.

What bulbs does it take?

The lantern takes two E14 small Edison screw bulbs up to 40W each. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with warm-white LED candle bulbs between 4-6W and 2700K for a traditional glow through the seeded glass. Clear filament-style LED bulbs work well where the bulb shape is visible through the glass.

How far does it project from the wall?

The lantern projects 274mm from the wall when mounted. This allows it to clear standard UK door frames and gives adequate clearance for entry doors that swing outwards. Ensure the fixing point has 300mm of clear horizontal space to avoid obstruction.

Can it be mounted on timber cladding?

Yes, provided the cladding is backed by solid timber studs or adequate blocking. Use appropriate outdoor-rated screws and wall plugs for the substrate. The lantern weighs approximately 2.5kg, so standard 50mm wood screws into solid timber are sufficient. Avoid fixing to cladding alone without solid backing.
