Description
The Republic small outdoor lantern is a flush-mounted ceiling light with a double frame design that gives it a bit of quiet character. It sits close to the ceiling, so it works well where a hanging fitting would feel too low or get in the way. Clear seedy glass panels wrap the two lamp holders, adding a gentle vintage texture that catches the light and softens the glow. With its compact footprint, it suits a porch, a covered entrance, or a sheltered outdoor room.
This lantern is at home on a coastal property or a country lodge, and it reads just as well by a back door or above a garden seating area. Its IP44 rating means it copes with splashes and the general damp of British weather, so it is happy in exposed and semi-exposed spots alike. The black finish keeps things grounded, pairing neatly with brick, render, timber, or stone. If you have a run of outdoor fittings to match, its simple lines settle in without competing for attention.
The body is made from a weather-resistant composite treated with an anti-fading agent, so the colour holds up over time. It comes with a five-year anti-corrosion guarantee and is built to resist rust and corrosion. Wiring is mains voltage and the fitting is Class I, so it needs earthing. It takes two E27 lamps up to 40W each, and bulbs are not included, which lets you choose the look and the colour temperature you prefer. We would suggest vintage filament bulbs to suit the frame. The fitting is compatible with dimmable lamps if you want to soften the light. To clean, switch off at the mains, let it cool, and wipe the glass and frame with a soft, dry cloth.

Frequently Asked
What is this lantern made from?
The frame is a weather-resistant composite treated with an anti-fading agent, paired with clear seedy glass panels. It carries a five-year anti-corrosion guarantee and resists rust and corrosion.
Can I use it outdoors in exposed weather?
Yes. It is rated IP44 and made for exterior use, so it handles splashes and general damp. A porch, covered entrance, or sheltered wall is ideal, keeping direct driving rain off where you can.
Are the bulbs included?
No, bulbs are not included. The fitting takes two E27 lamps up to 40W each, so you can pick the style you like. We suggest vintage filament bulbs to suit the frame.
What colour of light does it give?
The colour temperature depends entirely on the bulb you choose, since the lamps are replaceable. Pick warm bulbs for a soft glow or cooler ones for a crisper light.
Can I dim it?
Yes, the fitting is compatible with dimmable lamps. Use dimmable bulbs alongside a suitable dimmer switch to adjust the brightness to suit the space.
How do I clean and maintain it?
Switch off at the mains and let the fitting cool, then wipe the glass and frame with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals so the finish stays true.
