Description
The Mathus small outdoor lantern brings a classic wall-mounted shape to porches, doorways and garden walls. Built around a single E27 lamp holder, it houses clear bevelled glass panes within a black aluminium frame. The fine bevelling around each pane catches the light and gives the fitting a little more depth than a plain glass box, while the compact proportions keep it in scale with smaller entrances and side passages.
This lantern suits homes where you want a traditional look at the front or back door without anything oversized. It works well flanking a doorway in a matching pair, lighting a step or a garden gate, or adding a warm glow to a patio wall. With an IP44 rating it is made for exterior use, standing up to splashing rain from any direction, so it is a sensible choice for exposed and sheltered positions alike.
The frame is aluminium in a textured black finish, backed by a three year anti-corrosion guarantee, and the thicker glass panes add a reassuring sense of solidity. It runs on mains voltage and is a Class I fitting, so it needs an earth connection and is best installed by a qualified electrician. The bulb is not included, which lets you pick the brightness and colour temperature that suits your setting; warmer bulbs give a softer welcome, cooler ones a crisper light. It takes one E27 lamp up to 60W and works with dimmable bulbs if you fit a compatible dimmer. To keep it looking its best, wipe the frame and glass with a soft, damp cloth now and then, avoiding harsh cleaners that could mark the finish, and switch off the power before cleaning or changing the lamp.

Frequently Asked
What is the lantern made from?
The frame is aluminium in a textured black finish, with clear bevelled glass panes. It carries a three year anti-corrosion guarantee, so it is built to hold up outdoors.
Can I use this lantern outside?
Yes. It is rated IP44 for exterior use, which means it is protected against splashing water from any direction. It suits both sheltered and more exposed spots.
Is a bulb included?
No, the bulb is supplied separately. The fitting takes one E27 lamp up to 60W, so you can choose the brightness and colour temperature that suits your entrance.
Can I use a dimmer with it?
Yes. The fitting works with dimmable lamps, so pairing a dimmable E27 bulb with a compatible dimmer switch lets you soften the light when you want to.
How do I clean and maintain it?
Wipe the frame and glass with a soft, damp cloth and avoid harsh cleaners that could mark the finish. Always switch off the power before cleaning or changing the lamp.
Does it need a professional to install it?
As a Class I mains-voltage fitting, it needs an earth connection and is best installed by a qualified electrician for a safe and correct fit.
