Lighthouse 1 Light Outdoor Half Lantern - Textured Black

The Lighthouse is a compact outdoor half lantern with a textured black aluminium and steel frame holding four vertical clear seeded glass panels around a single E27 bulb fitting. The cylindrical lantern body sits beneath a stepped black dome, with horizontal bands wrapping the glass panels at top, middle and base. The half-lantern design mounts flush against the wall with a 114mm projection, keeping the profile minimal.

Rated IP44, the Lighthouse is protected against splashing water from any direction and is suitable for UK porches, covered patios, carports, covered entrances and sheltered exterior walls. The seeded glass diffuses light from the bulb while the raised texture creates a shifting pattern across surfaces as the light moves through the tiny bubbles in the glass. The fitting accepts any standard E27 bulb up to 60W (sold separately), allowing you to choose between warm-white LED, cool-white LED or filament bulbs depending on the desired light colour.

At 289mm height and 178mm diameter, the Lighthouse suits narrow wall sections beside front doors, garage side doors and passages where a full post lantern would overpower the space. The textured black finish is a powder-coated aluminium that resists corrosion in coastal and urban environments. The horizontal banding and stepped dome reference traditional harbour lantern construction without replicating period detail, making the fitting compatible with both contemporary and traditional exteriors.

What does IP44 allow this to be used for?

IP44 provides protection against splashing water from any direction, making the Lighthouse suitable for covered porches, sheltered patios, carports and any exterior wall position where it will not be exposed to direct rain or water jets. It is not rated for fully exposed positions without overhead cover.

What bulb does it take?

The fitting accepts a standard E27 (Edison screw) bulb up to 60W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with a warm-white LED filament bulb between 6-10W and 2700K for a traditional glow, or a cool-white LED at 4000K for security lighting.

Can it be mounted on brick or rendered walls?

Yes. The half-lantern back plate is designed to mount directly to brick, rendered or timber-clad walls using appropriate wall plugs and screws for the substrate. The electrical cable enters through a knock-out on the back plate.

How is the seeded glass cleaned?

Remove the glass panels by loosening the frame screws (consult the fitting instructions for the specific method on this model). Wash the glass in warm soapy water, rinse and dry before reassembling. The textured black frame can be wiped with a damp cloth.
