Description
The Olgiata-E is a downward outdoor wall light in the shape of a traditional lantern: a square black frame with clear panels at the front and sides, hung from a short arm on a flat wall plate. The body is black plastic and the panels are clear plastic, so the bulb sits in full view. It measures 17cm in length and 25cm in height, and it stands 17cm out from the wall, a compact size that sits neatly beside a door. It takes a single E27 bulb, the everyday screw-cap size, and the bulb is not included. With an IP44 rating it is protected from splashing water, so it lives outdoors on a house wall in all weathers.
A downward lantern like this suits a front door, a back step, a porch or a garden wall, anywhere you want light beside the path and the keyhole. The black frame sits comfortably against brick, render or painted timber, and the classic lantern outline looks at home on a period cottage as readily as on a newer house. A pair either side of a doorway gives a balanced welcome, and a single one beside a garage or a gate makes coming home after dark easier. Pick a clear filament bulb and the see-through panels put the filament on show; pick a frosted one for a softer look.
The body and the panels are both plastic, which keeps the light to 1.05KG and leaves no metal frame to corrode; plastic does not rust in wet weather the way bare steel can. There is no switch on the light itself: it is switched at the wall, and it runs on 220-240V mains. As a wired-in mains light it should be installed by a qualified electrician, and the installation instructions are available to download. Any standard E27 bulb will do, so choose the colour of light you prefer before the first evening.

It is 17cm in length and 25cm in height, and it projects 17cm from the wall, with a weight of 1.05KG.
What material are the frame and panels?
Both are plastic: the body is black plastic and the panels are clear plastic, so there is no metal frame to rust in wet weather.
