Shepherd 2 Light Outdoor Wall Lantern - Dark Weathered Zinc

The Shepherd is a 487mm outdoor wall lantern built around a weather-resistant composite frame finished in dark weathered zinc, housing two E27 bulb fittings behind clear seeded outer glass and a case white inner glass shade. The clear seeded glass texture scatters light in the manner of vintage gas lanterns, while the opaque white inner shade diffuses the bulb glow to prevent glare. A shepherd's crook mounting bracket and hinged front door panel with working latch give the lantern its traditional street-lantern silhouette.

Designed for front doors, porch areas, garage entrances and garden pathways, the Shepherd is rated IP44 against water splashes and dust ingress, making it suitable for exposed outdoor positions in UK weather. The composite construction resists corrosion and requires no repainting, unlike cast iron or steel alternatives. The hinged front door swings open on installation to allow access to the bulb sockets without removing the entire lantern from the wall. The dark weathered zinc finish presents as charcoal-grey metal with subtle tonal variation, pairing with both traditional brick and render and with contemporary cladding or timber.

The two E27 sockets accept standard LED, halogen or filament bulbs up to 60W each (bulbs sold separately), giving flexibility to choose light temperature and brightness based on the entrance context. The 184mm projection from the wall positions the lantern clear of door frames and window sills without extending too far into walkways. The case white inner shade is visible through the clear seeded outer glass during daylight, presenting as a frosted centre panel that becomes a soft diffused glow once lit after dark.

What bulbs does the Shepherd take?

The lantern has two E27 (Edison screw) sockets, each accepting bulbs up to 60W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with 6-10W warm-white LED bulbs at 2700K for a soft outdoor glow that mimics the look of traditional gas lanterns.

Can it be used in exposed outdoor positions?

Yes. The IP44 rating protects against water splashes from any direction and dust ingress, making the lantern suitable for installation on front doors, porches, and garden walls exposed to rain. The composite frame is weather-resistant and does not corrode.

How is the bulb accessed for replacement?

The front door panel is hinged and secured with a working latch. Lift the latch and swing the door open to access both E27 sockets without removing the lantern from the wall bracket.

What is the composite material?

The frame is made from a weather-resistant polymer composite rather than metal. This material resists corrosion, does not rust, and requires no repainting, while being lighter than cast iron or steel equivalents.
