Description
The Kinsale is a 1.18m outdoor pillar light built around a hexagonal black polymer lantern on a matching black post and plinth base. A single E27 fitting inside the lantern sits behind polycarbonate panels that diffuse light across garden paths, driveways and boundary markers. The IP44 rating protects the fitting against solid objects above 1mm and water splashes from any direction, making it suitable for open pathways, gate posts and exposed garden positions.
Designed for permanent outdoor installation, the Kinsale suits residential driveways, garden boundaries, patio edges and entrances where a traditional lantern profile is preferred over modern bollard designs. The 1.18m height positions the light source at waist-to-chest level for most adults, casting downward and lateral light without direct glare when walking past. The hexagonal footprint of the plinth base is 255mm across, wide enough to mount securely onto paving slabs, brick pillars or post caps without additional bracing.
The black polymer construction offers corrosion resistance in coastal and high-moisture environments where aluminium and steel fixtures corrode over time. The polymer resists impact from garden equipment, branches and accidental knocks better than glass or metal alternatives. The polycarbonate diffuser panels are shatter-resistant and maintain clarity without yellowing under UV exposure. The fitting accepts any E27 LED, halogen or filament bulb up to 60W (sold separately), allowing control over colour temperature and brightness to suit the installation.
Elstead Lighting backs the Kinsale with a 20-year warranty covering manufacturing defects and material failure, reflecting the longevity expected from polymer outdoor fixtures when installed and maintained correctly.

Frequently Asked
What bulb does it take?
The Kinsale takes a standard E27 (Edison screw) bulb up to 60W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with a warm-white LED bulb between 6-10W and 2700K for outdoor path lighting.
Can it be installed on a brick pillar?
Yes. The 255mm hexagonal base can be mounted onto brick pillars, gate posts, paving slabs or purpose-built post caps. The base requires secure fixing through its mounting holes to withstand wind load at the 1.18m height.
Is it suitable for coastal locations?
Yes. The black polymer construction resists salt corrosion better than aluminium or steel alternatives, making it suitable for coastal gardens and properties exposed to sea air. The IP44 rating provides protection against wind-driven rain.
How is the polymer maintained?
Wipe the polymer lantern and post with a damp cloth to remove dust, salt deposits or garden debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that can scratch the polymer surface. The polycarbonate diffuser can be cleaned with glass cleaner or soapy water.
