Merrill 2 Light Outdoor Flush Ceiling Light - Black

The Merrill is a 330mm flush-mount outdoor ceiling light with a black powder-coated metal frame and four clear seeded glass panels, designed for covered exterior spaces. Two E27 bulb fittings sit inside the glass enclosure, casting light through the textured glass which diffuses the output into a warm ambient glow without harsh glare. The IP44 rating protects against moisture ingress from rain splash and airborne dust, making the fitting suitable for covered porches, canopies, carports and patio ceilings.

The flush-mount design sits 162mm proud of the ceiling, making it suitable for low-clearance areas where pendant or semi-flush fittings would intrude on headroom. The 330mm diameter provides enough spread for an entrance canopy or typical 2-3m porch ceiling without dominating smaller outdoor spaces. The stepped black canopy and vertical frame posts give the fitting a traditional lantern silhouette that pairs with both period and contemporary exterior architecture.

The seeded glass panels carry a fine textured bubble pattern across the surface, visible when the light is off and amplified when lit, adding visual interest to what would otherwise be a plain glass box. The black metal frame shows a low-sheen powder-coated finish that resists corrosion in typical UK coastal and urban environments. The fitting accepts any standard E27 LED, halogen or filament bulb up to 60W per socket (bulbs sold separately), giving flexibility to choose colour temperature and output to suit the installation.

What bulbs does the Merrill take?

The fitting has two E27 (Edison screw) sockets, each accepting bulbs up to 60W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with warm-white LED bulbs in the 6-10W range at 2700K-3000K for a welcoming porch light.

Can this be used in fully exposed outdoor locations?

The IP44 rating protects against moisture splash and dust but not sustained water jets or full immersion. The Merrill is designed for covered exterior areas like porches, canopies and carports where the fitting is sheltered from direct rainfall. For fully exposed installations an IP65-rated fitting would be more appropriate.

What ceiling height does it suit?

The flush-mount design projects 162mm below the ceiling, making it suitable for low-clearance covered outdoor areas where pendant fittings would intrude on headroom. Typical UK porch ceilings of 2.1-2.4m height accommodate the Merrill comfortably.

How is the seeded glass cleaned?

The textured surface of seeded glass can trap dust and airborne debris over time. Wipe with a damp microfibre cloth and mild soapy water, then rinse and dry. Avoid abrasive cleaners which can scratch the glass texture.
