Description
The Redding Station is an outdoor wall light with a dark bronze aluminium body and a downward-facing prismatic glass shade, rated IP44 for protection against dust and water splashes. The fitting takes one E27 bulb up to 60W (sold separately) and projects 264mm from the wall on a curved gooseneck arm above a rectangular backplate.
Designed for front porches, back doors, garage entrances and garden walls, the Redding Station provides functional downward lighting for doorways and pathways while keeping the bulb shielded from direct weather exposure. The IP44 rating makes it suitable for covered outdoor positions where rain and moisture are present but the fitting is not directly exposed to driving rain or submersion. The 246mm height and 229mm width suit standard UK door surrounds and fit comfortably beside typical residential door frames without overwhelming the wall space.
The dark bronze finish is a matt blackened metal that shows subtle warm bronze undertones where light catches the edges, giving depth to the tiered body detail. The prismatic glass diffuser below the shade refracts and softens light from the E27 bulb, reducing glare and spreading illumination across a porch floor or pathway. The body is cast aluminium, which resists corrosion in outdoor conditions and requires minimal maintenance beyond occasional wiping to remove dust and cobwebs.
Feiss is a US-based manufacturer known for blending traditional form with contemporary build quality. The Redding Station range references early 20th-century railway and industrial lantern designs, adapted to residential scale and fitted with modern IP-rated weatherproofing. This model is the small wall version within the range; larger bracket lanterns and hanging variants are also available.

Frequently Asked
What does the IP44 rating mean for outdoor use?
IP44 provides protection against solid objects larger than 1mm (dust, insects) and water splashes from any direction. The Redding Station is suitable for covered outdoor positions such as porches, door canopies and garage overhangs where the fitting is sheltered from direct driving rain. It is not rated for fully exposed positions without overhead cover.
What bulb should I use?
The fitting takes one E27 bulb up to 60W. Most users pair this with a warm-white LED bulb between 6-10W and 2700K for porch and pathway lighting. The prismatic glass diffuses the light, so a visible-filament decorative bulb is not necessary unless you prefer that aesthetic.
How is the dark bronze finish maintained?
The matt dark bronze finish is powder-coated aluminium and requires minimal maintenance. Wipe with a damp cloth periodically to remove dust, cobwebs and pollen. Avoid abrasive cleaners or wire brushes that could scratch the coating.
Can it be mounted horizontally or vertically?
The Redding Station is designed to be wall-mounted with the gooseneck arm curving downwards, positioning the glass shade below the bulb. This orientation protects the bulb and internal wiring from moisture. Mounting it in any other orientation may compromise the IP44 rating and allow water ingress.
