Newbury 2 Light Outdoor Wall Lantern Large - Polished Brass

The Newbury is a 531mm outdoor wall lantern with a curved bevelled glass enclosure set in a lacquered polished brass frame. The lantern houses two E14 candle bulbs (sold separately) inside the glass chamber, visible through the clear bevelled panels. A hooped brass arm extends from a rectangular backplate, suspending the lantern body at approximately 254mm projection from the wall. The polished brass finish is lacquered to protect the metal from outdoor weathering.

Designed for external wall mounting on front porches, side entrances, garage doors and courtyard walls, the Newbury carries an IP44 rating for protection against solid objects over 1mm and water splashes from any direction. The curved glass panels measure 264mm at the widest point and taper to a brass crown at the top and a brass base at the bottom, creating a lantern silhouette that suits Georgian, colonial and traditional exterior architecture. The bevelled glass edges catch and refract light from the bulbs, producing soft patterns on surrounding brickwork when lit at night.

The brass frame comprises eight vertical ribs joining the top crown to the bottom base, with the bevelled glass panels set between each rib. Each panel is sealed with a rubber gasket to maintain the IP44 rating while allowing the glass to be accessed for cleaning or bulb replacement. The lacquer coating on the brass prevents tarnishing in rain and coastal air, maintaining the polished finish without regular polishing. The combined glass and brass construction gives the lantern a substantial presence on the wall without overwhelming typical UK residential door surrounds.

What bulbs does the Newbury take?

The lantern takes two E14 candle bulbs up to 40W each, sold separately. Most users pair this with warm-white LED candle bulbs between 4-6W and 2700K for traditional porch lighting that mimics the look of incandescent bulbs.

Is the polished brass finish weatherproof?

Yes. The brass frame is lacquered to protect it from rain, coastal air and outdoor temperature changes. The lacquer prevents tarnishing and means the finish does not require regular polishing to maintain its appearance.

Can the glass panels be removed for cleaning?

Yes. The bevelled glass panels are set between the brass ribs and sealed with rubber gaskets. The panels can be accessed for cleaning or bulb replacement while maintaining the IP44 rating when reassembled.

What wall surfaces can it be mounted to?

The lantern mounts to brick, render, stone and timber cladding using appropriate fixings for the wall material. The rectangular backplate measures approximately 140mm x 200mm and requires fixings capable of supporting the combined weight of the brass frame and glass panels.
