Salamanca 1 Light Pillar Lantern - Brown

The Salamanca is a 105cm pillar lantern with a cast aluminium body finished in a brown powder coat, housing a single E27 bulb fitting behind a frosted glass panel. The lantern head sits on a round column with ribbed detailing and a flared base designed for ground mounting on driveways, garden pathways and entrance posts.

Built for year-round outdoor use, the Salamanca carries an IP44 rating protecting the internal components from solid objects larger than 1mm and water splashes from any direction, making it suitable for UK weather conditions including rain and frost. The lantern accepts any standard E27 bulb up to 60W, giving flexibility to choose LED, halogen or filament bulbs depending on preferred light colour and intensity. Most users pair this with a warm-white LED bulb between 6-10W and 2700K-3000K for pathway illumination.

The cast aluminium construction provides durability without excessive weight, and the brown powder coat finish offers corrosion resistance while pairing with both traditional and contemporary outdoor schemes. The lantern head features a domed cap with cut-out detailing around the rim, a design detail borrowed from early 20th-century civic lighting but scaled for residential driveways and garden borders. The 22.5cm footprint fits standard pillar mounts and post caps, and the frosted glass diffuses the bulb to reduce glare along pathways.
