Newport 1 Light Outdoor Wall Lantern - Antique Bronze IP44

The Newport is a 329mm outdoor wall lantern with a cylindrical clear seeded glass enclosure, vented metal cap and antique bronze finish throughout. A single E27 bulb (sold separately, up to 60W) sits inside the seeded glass cylinder, with the venting in the top cap providing air circulation while protecting the lamp from direct rain ingress. The IP44 rating confirms the lantern is sealed against solid objects above 1mm and water splashes from any direction.

Designed for coastal and exposed locations, the lantern is constructed from a composite synthetic material rather than aluminium or steel, making it corrosion-resistant in salt-air environments where traditional metal fittings degrade. The antique bronze powder-coat finish over the composite base gives the appearance of aged metal without the weight or rust vulnerability. The clear seeded glass contains internal bubbles and texture that diffuse the light from a bare filament bulb or LED, reducing glare on pathways and entrance areas.

The 191mm width and 226mm projection suit entrance porches, garden gates and side passages where a medium-scale fitting is needed without overwhelming the wall. The vented cap design references traditional harbour and lighthouse lanterns, with horizontal bands around the top and base of the glass cylinder creating a layered silhouette. The seeded glass and bronze finish pair comfortably with coastal, traditional and cottage-style exteriors in greys, whites and natural stone.

What does the IP44 rating cover?

IP44 means the lantern is sealed against solid objects above 1mm diameter and protected against water splashes from any angle. This makes it suitable for outdoor walls, porches and covered areas exposed to rain but not direct water jets or full submersion.

What bulb does the Newport take?

The lantern takes a standard E27 (Edison screw) bulb up to 60W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with a warm-white LED filament bulb between 4-8W and 2200K-2700K to complement the seeded glass and bronze finish.

Is it suitable for coastal locations?

Yes. The lantern is constructed from a corrosion-resistant composite material rather than aluminium or steel, making it more durable in salt-air environments where metal fittings typically corrode. The powder-coat finish over the composite base resists flaking and rust.

How is the seeded glass cleaned?

The seeded glass can be wiped with a damp microfibre cloth and mild detergent. The internal texture traps less surface dirt than smooth glass, but condensation can collect inside the cylinder if the venting becomes blocked — check the top cap vents annually and clear any debris.
