Manhattan 1 Light Outdoor Wall Lantern Medium - Oil Rubbed Bronze

The Manhattan is a medium-sized outdoor wall lantern built around a die-cast aluminium frame finished in hand-painted oil rubbed bronze, with four clear glass panels forming a rectangular enclosure around a single E27 bulb fitting. The lantern measures 381mm high, 235mm wide and projects 260mm from the wall, sized to work on exterior walls flanking front doors, garage doors or as interval lighting along pathways.

Designed with an IP44 rating, the Manhattan protects against water splashes from any direction, making it suitable for installation under eaves, covered porches, or any outdoor location with partial shelter from direct rainfall. The clear glass panels allow full light transmission while the stepped canopy and base plate reference early 20th-century station lantern design without heavy period detailing. The fitting accepts any E27 bulb up to 60W — most users pair it with a warm-white LED filament or standard LED for exterior ambient lighting.

The oil rubbed bronze finish is applied by hand over the die-cast frame, giving a dark brown-grey metallic appearance with subtle tonal variation across the surface. This finish pairs with brick, rendered walls, timber cladding and painted exteriors in traditional, craftsman and transitional architectural styles. The stepped rectangular canopy and base provide visual weight at 381mm height without overwhelming a typical single-storey door surround or garage entrance.

What does IP44 mean for outdoor use?

IP44 provides protection against solid objects larger than 1mm and water splashes from any direction. This lantern is suitable for installation under eaves, covered porches, or any outdoor location with partial shelter. It is not rated for full exposure to driving rain or submersion.

What bulb does it take?

The Manhattan takes a standard E27 (Edison screw) bulb up to 60W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users choose a warm-white LED filament bulb between 6-10W and 2700K for exterior ambient lighting that mimics traditional incandescent appearance.

How is it mounted to the wall?

The lantern mounts via a stepped rectangular back plate that conceals the wiring. Standard wall fixings are required (not included) — masonry walls typically need two plugs and screws, while timber cladding or rendered walls may need different fixings depending on substrate.

Can the glass panels be replaced if damaged?

The clear glass panels are sealed into the die-cast frame during manufacture. If a panel is cracked or broken, the entire lantern assembly would need replacement rather than individual glass replacement.
