South Hope Outdoor 1 Light Medium Wall Lantern - Rubbed Bronze

The South Hope is a 451mm outdoor wall lantern built around a rectangular frame in oil rubbed bronze with a satin-etched opal glass cylinder inside. A single E27 bulb (sold separately, max 60W) sits within the glass diffuser, casting light through the frosted surface to produce a soft glow suitable for entranceways, covered porches and external pathways. The IP44 rating protects against splashing water from any direction, making it suitable for exposed wall positions under eaves or porch overhangs.

Designed for UK residential and hospitality installation, the lantern mounts directly to an exterior wall via a rear plate concealed behind the 178mm-wide frame. The 196mm projection from the wall gives the lantern enough clearance for a wall-mounted installation without interfering with door swings or porch furniture. The opal glass diffuses the bulb completely, preventing direct view of the filament or LED element and reducing glare when approaching a doorway at night.

The oil rubbed bronze finish has a low-sheen, darkened patina that weathers outdoor exposure without showing water marks or surface oxidation as readily as polished finishes. The metal frame uses a stepped profile at top and bottom, with the glass cylinder set into recessed grooves that prevent water pooling against the seals. The handle detail at the top references traditional lantern design while the rectangular geometry and clean lines suit both period properties and contemporary builds. Kichler backs the fixture with a 3-year guarantee.

What IP rating does it carry and where can it be installed?

The lantern is rated IP44, protecting against splashing water from any direction. It is suitable for installation on external walls under eaves, porch overhangs, or covered entryways. Do not install in positions with direct prolonged rain exposure or standing water.

What bulb does it take?

The lantern takes a standard E27 (Edison screw) bulb up to 60W maximum. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with a warm-white LED bulb between 6-10W and 2700K for a welcoming entrance light.

How far does it project from the wall?

The lantern projects 196mm from the wall surface when mounted. This gives sufficient clearance for door swings and avoids interference with porch furniture or pedestrian traffic near the entrance.

Is the glass replaceable if damaged?

The opal glass cylinder is a replaceable component. Contact Kichler or Niori for replacement glass parts specific to the South Hope model. The 3-year guarantee covers manufacturing defects but not accidental breakage.
