Luverne 1 Light Outdoor Wall Lantern - Oil Rubbed Bronze

The Luverne is a 337mm outdoor wall lantern with a ribbed clear glass shade enclosed in an oil rubbed bronze frame carrying classical bead detailing, leaf scrollwork and relief medallions. The lantern takes a single E27 bulb up to 60W (sold separately) and carries an IP44 rating for use on covered porches, entrance canopies and under-eave mounting where the fitting is protected from direct rain.

Designed for front doors, porch columns and entrance walls where a compact classical fitting is needed, the Luverne projects 197mm from the wall and sits 178mm wide, making it suited to narrower wall sections flanking doorways or on porch pillars where a larger lantern would overpower the architecture. The ribbed glass diffuses bulb glare while allowing warm light to spread across the entrance area, and the bronze finish pairs with brick, render and painted timber facades in traditional, colonial and craftsman-style homes.

The oil rubbed bronze finish applies a dark base coat with lighter bronze highlights brought through on raised detail — the bead patterns around the glass frame, the acanthus leaf scrolls on the vertical arms, and the floral medallions on the backplate all carry this two-tone effect. The clear ribbed glass is sealed into a metal cage frame, and the lantern mounts via a rectangular backplate fixed to a standard outdoor junction box.

Can this be used fully exposed to rain?

No. The IP44 rating protects against splashing water from any direction but not direct rainfall or water jets. Mount the Luverne under a porch canopy, doorway overhang or eave where it is sheltered from overhead rain.

What bulb does it take?

The lantern takes 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 4-8W and 2200K-2700K to match the classical bronze finish.

Is it suitable for coastal locations?

Oil rubbed bronze finishes can corrode faster in salt air. If installing within 5km of the coast, consider applying a clear lacquer sealant to the bronze metalwork annually to slow oxidation, or choose a stainless steel or powder-coated aluminium alternative.

Does the glass open for bulb changes?

Yes. The ribbed glass shade is held in the metal cage frame by a bottom access panel or cap (design varies by production year). Unscrew the lower finial or release the lower panel to access the E27 socket for bulb replacement.
