Philadelphia Small 1 Light Outdoor Down Wall Light - Old Bronze

The Philadelphia Small is a 430mm outdoor down wall light with a cast metal frame finished in old bronze patina, a champagne-tinted blown glass lantern and an arched bracket with foliate detailing. The fitting takes a single E27 bulb (sold separately, 60W maximum) and directs light downwards onto pathways, door surrounds and steps.

Designed for entrance porches, front doors and covered outdoor seating areas, the Philadelphia Small carries an IP44 rating for protection against dust and moisture from any direction. The down-facing orientation shields the bulb and glass from direct rainfall while providing functional task light at floor level. The 240mm projection from the wall places the lantern clear of the mounting surface, giving better light spread across pathways and making the fitting visible when approached from the side.

The old bronze patina finish gives the cast metal frame a weathered appearance with darker tones in the recessed details and lighter bronze highlights on raised surfaces. The champagne-tinted blown glass diffuses the light from the bulb and adds a warm amber glow when lit. The foliate scrollwork on the backplate and bracket references classical outdoor lantern designs from the early 20th century, making the Philadelphia Small pair comfortably with period, Victorian and traditional property styles.

What IP rating does it carry?

The Philadelphia Small is IP44 rated, meaning it is protected against solid objects over 1mm and water splashes from any direction. This rating is suitable for covered outdoor positions such as under porches, canopies and eaves, but not for fully exposed locations where the fitting would receive direct driving rain.

What bulb does it take?

The fitting takes a standard E27 (Edison screw) bulb up to 60W maximum. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with a warm-white LED filament bulb between 4-8W and 2200K-2700K to match the warm tone of the champagne glass.

How far does it project from the wall?

The Philadelphia Small has a 240mm projection from the wall to the furthest point of the lantern glass. This places the light source well clear of the mounting surface, giving better light distribution across pathways and making the fitting visible when approached from the side.

Is it suitable for coastal locations?

The old bronze patina finish will continue to weather in coastal environments and may develop further patination over time. For locations with high salt exposure, periodic rinsing with fresh water will help reduce salt build-up on the metal surfaces.
