Marblehead Outdoor 1 Light Small Wall Lantern - White

The Marblehead is a 263mm-high outdoor wall lantern built from a white weather-resistant composite with clear seeded glass panels and a single E27 bulb fitting. The glass sits behind arched metal frames that divide each panel into a grid, creating a window-like effect when the lamp is lit. The composite body and glass housing are rated IP44, protecting against solid objects over 1mm and water splashing from any direction.

Designed for coastal and variable UK climates, the composite construction resists corrosion, cracking and UV fade more effectively than painted metal or timber lanterns. The lantern suits front door porches, side gate entrances, garden room walls and patio zones where wall-mounted downward light is needed without the maintenance demands of cast aluminium or steel. The 205mm projection sits the lantern approximately 200mm clear of the wall face once installed, allowing light to spread down and forward rather than pooling directly below the fitting.

The seeded glass texture diffuses the filament or LED source inside the E27 bulb, softening shadows and reducing glare when viewed from below or at eye level as you approach a doorway. The white finish pairs with white-painted render, timber cladding, coastal weatherboard and modern grey exteriors. At 263mm high and 169mm wide, the lantern scales to smaller residential facades, porches and gate posts without overpowering the wall it's mounted on. Quoizel backs the fitting with a 5-year warranty covering materials and workmanship.

What bulb does it take and is one included?

The lantern takes a standard E27 bulb up to 60W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with a 6-10W warm-white LED filament bulb at 2700K for a traditional glow through the seeded glass.

Can this be used in coastal locations?

Yes. The composite body resists salt spray, UV exposure and moisture ingress better than painted aluminium or steel lanterns. The IP44 rating protects the internal components from water splashing, making it suitable for coastal installations in the UK.

What does IP44 mean in practical terms?

IP44 means the lantern is protected against solid objects over 1mm (dust, insects, larger debris) and water splashing from any direction. It's suitable for sheltered and semi-exposed outdoor walls but not for areas with direct high-pressure water jets or full submersion.

How is the seeded glass different from clear glass?

Seeded glass contains small bubbles and texture variations that diffuse light as it passes through, softening the appearance of the bulb filament and reducing glare. Clear glass would show the bulb shape and filament more sharply.
