Inglenook Outdoor 1 Light Wall Lantern - Valiant Bronze Stained Glass

The Inglenook is a compact outdoor wall lantern built around a hand-assembled stained glass shade in sapphire blue, honey amber and cream tones, set within a valiant bronze metal frame with a pyramid-style roof. The glass panels form a geometric Arts & Crafts pattern, with each piece cut and leaded together by hand, so the exact tonal balance varies slightly between individual lanterns. The shade houses a single E27 bulb fitting (bulb sold separately) rated to 60W maximum.

Designed for porch entrances, side doors and cottage-style exteriors, the Inglenork suits wall positions where a traditional lantern is needed at a scale that does not overwhelm the doorway. The 287mm height and 178mm width fit comfortably on rendered walls, timber cladding and brick surfaces typical of Arts & Crafts, Edwardian and interwar housing stock. The IP44 rating protects against rain splashes and wind-blown moisture, making the fitting suitable for positions under eaves or porch canopies where direct overhead rain exposure is limited.

The valiant bronze finish is a dark oil-rubbed bronze with subtle copper undertones that emerge under daylight and deepen to near-black at night. The metal frame comprises four corner posts supporting the glass panels, with a curved bracket arm extending from a rectangular wall plate. The stained glass diffuses bulb glare into a warm ambient wash, with the amber and cream tones dominating the light output when a warm-white bulb is fitted. The sapphire blue accents are visible as darker definition lines when unlit and glow subtly when the lantern is on.

What does the IP44 rating mean for outdoor use?

IP44 protects against rain splashes and windblown moisture from any direction. The Inglenook is suitable for positions under eaves, porch canopies or covered doorways where direct overhead rain exposure is limited. It is not rated for fully exposed positions subject to driving rain or submersion.

What bulb should I use?

The lantern takes a standard E27 bulb up to 60W maximum. Most users pair this with a warm-white LED filament bulb between 4-8W and 2200K-2700K to complement the amber and cream tones in the stained glass. Clear or amber glass LED filament bulbs work particularly well with Arts & Crafts fixtures.

Is the stained glass genuine leaded glass?

Yes. Each shade is hand-assembled using individual cut glass pieces joined with lead came in the traditional Tiffany method. This means each lantern shows slight variation in the exact position and tonal balance of the coloured glass pieces.

What wall surfaces can it be fitted to?

The rectangular wall plate fixes to rendered walls, brick, timber cladding and stone using suitable fixings for the substrate. The 226mm projection from the wall requires clearance for the bracket arm and lantern body to project without obstruction.
