Description
The Meribel is a compact outdoor wall light built around a rectangular graphite metal frame with clear glass panels on three sides, creating a lantern-style enclosure for a single E27 bulb. The frame measures 90mm wide by 200mm tall with a 110mm projection from the wall, giving it a vertical orientation that suits narrow wall sections flanking doorways or garage entrances.
Designed for residential porches, side entrances, garage door surrounds and small courtyard walls, the Meribel pairs an IP54 weather rating with visible-bulb styling that works best with decorative LED filament or vintage-style E27 bulbs (sold separately). The IP54 rating protects against dust ingress and water splashes from any direction, making it suitable for covered outdoor positions including porch ceilings and recessed alcoves, but not for fully exposed driving-rain locations.
The graphite powder-coat finish on the metal frame provides corrosion resistance and a low-sheen matt appearance that minimises reflections under direct sunlight. The clear glass panels show the bulb filament when lit, so bulb choice affects the overall aesthetic — a warm-white LED filament bulb at 2200K-2700K gives an amber glow, while a cool-white bulb at 4000K produces a crisper output. The fitting is dimmable when paired with a dimmable E27 bulb and a compatible dimmer on the mains circuit.
The Meribel fixes to the wall via a rear-mounted backplate, with cable entry through a knockout hole in the plate. The 1.1kg weight sits comfortably on brick, blockwork or rendered external walls without needing additional bracing. From Mantra Lighting's outdoor collection.

Frequently Asked
What bulb does it take?
The Meribel takes a standard E27 (Edison screw) bulb. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with a decorative LED filament bulb at 4-8W and 2200K-2700K to show off the visible-bulb styling through the clear glass.
Is it suitable for fully exposed outdoor positions?
The IP54 rating protects against dust and water splashes, making it suitable for covered porches, recessed doorways and sheltered wall positions. For fully exposed locations subject to driving rain, a higher IP rating (IP65 or IP66) would be more appropriate.
Can it be used on a porch ceiling?
Yes. The Meribel can be mounted horizontally on a ceiling or soffit within a covered porch, provided the backplate is securely fixed to a joist or solid substrate and the cable entry knockout is oriented correctly.
Is it dimmable?
Yes, when paired with a dimmable E27 bulb and a compatible dimmer switch on the mains circuit. The fitting itself does not include dimming electronics — dimming capability depends entirely on the bulb and dimmer combination you choose.
