Description

The Somerton is an IP44-rated outdoor wall light with a solid brass construction finished in aged brass, paired with a clear glass shade protecting a single E27 bulb fitting. The fitting comprises a curved swan-neck arm extending from a circular wall plate, supporting a dome-topped shade with a flared rim and a clear glass lower section. The bulb sits inside the glass, protected from rain ingress while remaining visible as a decorative element when lit.

Designed for covered porches, garden walls under eaves, and patio areas where rain protection is needed but not full weatherproofing, the IP44 rating provides splash-resistance rather than full submersion protection. The fixture sits approximately 280mm from the wall when installed, projecting over doorways, pathways or seating areas. The aged brass finish shows variation in tone across the metal surface, with darker patina around joints and edges that develops further over time when exposed to outdoor conditions.

The solid brass frame is heavier than aluminium alternatives at approximately 1.2kg, giving the fitting a substantial presence on brick, rendered or timber-clad walls. The clear glass shade allows the filament bulb to be part of the visual design — most users pair the Somerton with warm-white LED filament bulbs in ST64 or A60 shapes to match the early-1900s barn lamp aesthetic the fitting references. The lacquer applied to the brass slows oxidation but does not prevent it entirely, so outdoor installations in coastal or high-humidity areas will develop patina faster than sheltered inland positions.

Frequently Asked

What bulb does it take?

The Somerton takes a standard E27 (Edison screw) bulb. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with a warm-white LED filament bulb between 4-8W and 2200K-2700K to match the vintage aesthetic.

Is it suitable for fully exposed positions?

The IP44 rating provides splash-resistance, making it suitable for covered porches, walls under eaves, and patio areas with some overhead protection. It is not rated for positions with direct sustained rain exposure or high-pressure water jets.

Does the aged brass change colour over time?

Yes. The aged brass finish naturally develops darker patina when exposed to outdoor conditions, particularly in coastal or high-humidity areas. This is a characteristic of solid brass rather than a defect. The lacquer slows oxidation but does not prevent it entirely.

How is the fitting installed?

The circular wall plate fixes to a standard UK outdoor back box or directly to a wall with appropriate fixings for the substrate. The fitting projects approximately 280mm from the wall when installed. Wiring should be completed by a qualified electrician.
