Description
The Sandown Outdoor Chain Lantern brings a heritage shape to porches, entrances and covered outdoor spaces. It hangs from a length of chain, with a four-sided lantern body cast in aluminium and clear polycarbonate lens panels that let the light spread evenly. The finish is a clean matt black, and the fitting carries an IP44 rating, so it copes with rain and splashes in sheltered positions. A single E27 lamp holder sits at the centre, taking up to 60W.
This lantern works well by a front door, over a back porch or beneath a canopy where a hanging light adds a welcoming glow without dominating the space. The adjustable chain drop means you can set the hang to suit your ceiling height, whether that is a low porch roof or a taller open entrance. It suits period and country homes, but the simple lines also settle happily against more modern brick and render. If you are lighting a pair of pillars or a symmetrical porch, two units either side balance nicely.
The cast aluminium body is backed by a three year anti-corrosion guarantee, which speaks to how it holds up outdoors over time. The polycarbonate lenses are tougher than glass and shrug off knocks. The lamp is not included, so you can choose the bulb to suit the mood you want; colour temperature depends entirely on the lamp you fit, from a warm welcoming light to something crisper, and the fitting is compatible with dimmable lamps. Wipe the body with a soft dry cloth now and then to keep the finish looking its best, and avoid harsh chemical cleaners. For a settled, traditional look, pair it with a warm-toned filament-style bulb and matching black door furniture.

Frequently Asked
What is the lantern made from?
The body is cast aluminium with clear polycarbonate lens panels. The polycarbonate is more impact-resistant than glass, and the metalwork carries a three year anti-corrosion guarantee for outdoor use.
Is a bulb included?
No, the lamp is supplied separately. The fitting takes a single E27 bulb up to 60W, so you can pick the brightness and colour temperature that suits you. It also works with dimmable lamps.
Can I use it outdoors in the rain?
Yes. It is rated IP44, which means it withstands rain and splashing water. It is best sited in a sheltered spot such as a porch or under a canopy rather than fully exposed.
Can I adjust how far it hangs down?
Yes. It comes with a length of chain that lets you set the drop to suit your ceiling, within its minimum and maximum drop range. See the specification table for exact figures.
How do I keep it looking good?
Wipe the black body with a soft dry cloth from time to time. Avoid abrasive pads and harsh chemical cleaners, which can dull the matt finish.
