Roscoe 1 Light Outdoor Small Wall Lantern - Black

The Feiss Roscoe is a 293mm outdoor wall lantern with a rectangular black composite frame, white opal glass diffuser panel, and a top-mounted rectangular handle detail. The frame features striated horizontal moulding across the top and bottom sections, giving a coach lantern silhouette with a contemporary finish. The lantern takes a single E27 bulb up to 60W (sold separately) and carries an IP44 rating for outdoor use in moisture and dust-prone locations.

Designed for small exterior spaces where a full-size wall lantern would overpower the architecture, the Roscoe suits porches, side doors, small patios, pathway lighting flanking narrow garden paths, and garage entrances. The 293mm height and 161mm width make it suited to installing in pairs either side of a door or spaced at 2-3m intervals along a pathway. The 153mm projection from the wall gives enough clearance for air circulation around the bulb while keeping the lantern close to the mounting surface.

The composite material construction resists warping, rusting and UV degradation in UK outdoor conditions, while the matt black finish reduces visible weathering and pairs cleanly with both dark-painted timber and white render. The white opal glass panel diffuses the E27 bulb light evenly, preventing glare and creating a soft wash across the wall and ground below. The striated detailing and rectangular handle reference traditional coach lantern styling without replicating period fittings directly, giving a transitional appearance that suits both heritage and contemporary builds.

The IP44 rating confirms protection against solid objects over 1mm and water splashing from any direction, making the lantern suitable for positions under eaves, in covered porches, and on walls exposed to rain but not direct water jets. The composite frame does not corrode in coastal environments, and the black finish hides minor surface marks from garden debris or seasonal weathering.

What bulb does the Roscoe take?

The lantern takes a single E27 (Edison screw) bulb up to 60W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with a warm-white LED bulb between 6-10W and 2700K-3000K for exterior lighting that matches interior lighting colour temperature.

Can it be used in fully exposed positions?

The IP44 rating means the lantern is protected against splashing water from any direction and solid objects over 1mm. It suits positions under eaves, in covered porches, and on walls exposed to rain, but not positions subject to direct water jets or submersion.

How is the composite material different from metal lanterns?

The composite material does not rust, corrode or warp in outdoor conditions, and resists UV degradation better than some painted metals. It is lighter than die-cast aluminium or steel, making installation onto timber or rendered walls easier, and the matt black finish hides minor surface marks from garden debris.

What size entrance does this suit?

The 293mm height makes it suited to small porches, side doors, and entrances where a full-size wall lantern would look oversized. For standard front door installations with 2m+ ceiling height, the larger Roscoe wall lantern variants provide better visual proportion.
