Parish 1 Light Pedestal Light - Black

The Parish is a 540mm pedestal light with a six-panel clear glass lantern housed in a die-cast aluminium frame finished in black powder coat. The lantern sits on a hexagonal plinth base and takes a single E27 bulb (sold separately) inside the glass enclosure. The IP44 rating protects against rain and dust ingress, making it suitable for exposed UK outdoor installations.

Designed for mounting on low garden walls, brick gate pillars, driveway entrance posts and patio edges, the Parish sits at a height that guides foot traffic without producing glare at eye level. The 230mm diameter footprint fits standard 200-240mm wide brick piers and post caps. The clear glass panels transmit the full colour temperature of the bulb, so a warm-white E27 LED produces ambient yellow-white light, while a cool daylight bulb gives crisper illumination for security applications.

The die-cast aluminium construction gives corrosion resistance superior to steel or mild steel alternatives in coastal and high-rainfall regions. The black powder coat finish is baked onto the metal and shows minimal UV fading over time compared to painted finishes. The hinged door at the base of the lantern allows bulb replacement without removing the entire fitting from the pillar or post. Handcrafted in the UK by Elstead Lighting with a 10-year manufacturer guarantee.

What bulb does it take?

The Parish takes a standard E27 bulb up to 60W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair it with a 6-10W warm-white LED filament bulb for ambient garden lighting or a cool-white LED for security and path lighting.

Can it be used on a gate pillar?

Yes. The 230mm hexagonal base fits standard brick piers of 200-240mm width. The fitting mounts directly onto the top of the pillar using the three fixing holes in the base. Ensure the pillar surface is level and weatherproofed before installation.

Is it suitable for coastal locations?

The die-cast aluminium construction with powder coat finish offers good corrosion resistance in coastal regions. The IP44 rating protects against salt spray and rain. Regular rinsing with fresh water will extend the finish life in high-salt environments.

How is the bulb replaced?

The lantern has a hinged door at the base that opens to allow bulb replacement without removing the entire fitting from the pillar. The door is secured with a small latch mechanism visible on the frame.
