Description
The Newbury is a 356mm outdoor wall lantern built around a lacquered polished brass frame with clear bevelled glass panels and a domed brass top with hanging ring detail. The lantern takes one E27 bulb up to 60W (sold separately) and sits on a 203mm-wide brass backplate that fixes to exterior walls, projecting 198mm from the mounting surface.
Designed for covered porches, front entrances, garage side doors and patio walls, the IP44 rating protects against splashing water from any direction, making the fitting suitable for partially sheltered outdoor positions. The clear bevelled glass creates defined edges to the light output and allows the bulb shape to remain visible, suiting both traditional filament bulbs and modern LED filament styles that replicate the classic Edison look.
The polished brass is sealed with a clear lacquer to maintain the reflective finish and slow down natural tarnishing, though outdoor brass will naturally develop a patina over time depending on exposure to salt air, moisture and UV. The curved glass panels sit within individual brass frames that give the lantern its hexagonal profile, and the hanging-ring detail at the top references coach lamp and carriage light designs from the 18th and 19th centuries.
The 356mm height positions the Newbury as a medium-scale wall lantern, large enough to make an architectural statement flanking a front door but proportionate for single-storey porch walls and garage side entrances where a full-size carriage lamp would overpower the architecture. The lacquered brass pairs well with traditional brick, painted render and timber cladding in warm tones.

Frequently Asked
What does IP44 mean for outdoor use?
IP44 provides protection against splashing water from any direction, making the lantern suitable for covered porches, under eaves and other partially sheltered positions. It is not rated for fully exposed locations where driving rain would hit the fitting directly.
Will the brass tarnish over time?
The polished brass is lacquered to slow down tarnishing, but all outdoor brass develops a natural patina when exposed to moisture, salt air and UV light. This is a characteristic of the material and can be slowed by periodic cleaning with a soft dry cloth.
What bulb should I use?
The lantern takes one E27 bulb up to 60W. Most users fit a warm-white LED filament bulb between 4-8W and 2200K-2700K to replicate the look of a traditional gas or oil lamp while keeping energy consumption low.
How is the lantern installed?
The backplate fixes to an external wall using screws (not supplied) and the mains cable feeds through a central knockout hole in the plate. Installation must comply with UK wiring regulations and should be carried out by a qualified electrician.
