Description
The Matlock is a 320mm tall outdoor wall lantern with an old bronze finish, seeded glass panels and a pagoda-style roof topped with a faceted finial. The rectangular body houses a single E14 bulb fitting behind four glass sides, each showing heavy seeding that diffuses the light into a warm glow while maintaining the silhouette of a candle flame bulb inside.
Designed for UK porches, patios, front entrances and garden pathways, the Matlock mounts on a vertical wall surface and projects 110mm from the mounting point. The IP44 rating protects against rain splash from any direction, making it suitable for covered and semi-exposed positions. The hinged front door opens for bulb changes without needing to remove the entire fitting from the wall, simplifying maintenance on installations above head height.
The old bronze finish shows deliberate variations in tone across the metalwork, giving the appearance of aged copper-bronze rather than a uniform coating. This pairs the lantern with traditional brick, stone and timber facades without looking overly formal. The seeded glass texture creates bubble-like irregularities across each panel, softening the light output and reducing direct glare when viewed from the side. The fitting accepts any E14 bulb up to 60W, including warm-white LED candle bulbs that mimic the flicker and flame shape of the gas lanterns this design references.

Frequently Asked
What bulb does the Matlock take?
The lantern takes a single E14 small Edison screw bulb up to 60W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with a 4-6W LED candle bulb in warm white (2700K) to replicate the appearance of a flame inside the seeded glass panels.
Is it suitable for fully exposed outdoor positions?
The IP44 rating protects against rain splash from any direction, making it suitable for covered porches, under eaves, and semi-exposed positions. It is not rated for fully submersed or high-pressure water exposure, so avoid mounting in positions where heavy driving rain hits the fitting directly for extended periods.
How is the bulb changed?
The front glass panel opens on a side hinge, allowing access to the bulb fitting without removing the entire lantern from the wall. This simplifies bulb changes on installations mounted above head height or where scaffolding access would otherwise be needed.
Does the old bronze finish require maintenance?
The old bronze finish is a treated coating designed to resist weathering. No polishing or sealing is required. Occasional cleaning with a damp cloth removes dust and pollen buildup. The finish may darken slightly over years of outdoor exposure, which is a normal characteristic of bronze-effect coatings.
