Tangier Outdoor 1 Light Large Wall Lantern - Olde Bronze

The Tangier is a 432mm outdoor wall lantern with a crisscross metal frame in olde bronze, surrounding four seeded glass panels and a single E27 bulb fitting. The lantern mounts on a curved backplate and the glass is rated IP44, making it suitable for exterior walls exposed to rain and damp conditions but not direct water jets.

Designed for front doors, porches, garages and covered patio areas, the Tangier provides functional task lighting at entry points while adding a traditional lantern silhouette to the facade. The 267mm projection from the wall gives clearance over external doorframes and windowsills, while the 242mm width suits standard brick spacing between openings. The seeded glass texture softens the light output and reduces glare when viewed directly from street level or driveways.

The olde bronze finish is a darker, aged bronze tone with subtle surface variation that weathers gradually under UV exposure without flaking or discolouration. The crisscross frame consists of flat metal straps riveted at the intersections, giving structural rigidity to the glass panels and a distinct geometric pattern when lit from within. The lantern accepts any standard E27 bulb up to 60W, giving flexibility to choose filament, LED or halogen depending on the desired colour temperature and brightness level.

Kichler manufactures the Tangier in the USA and backs it with a 3-year guarantee covering finish degradation and structural defects. The lantern weighs approximately 2.8kg installed and requires two fixing points on the backplate for secure mounting to masonry or timber-framed walls.

What does IP44 mean for outdoor use?

IP44 means the lantern is protected against solid objects larger than 1mm and water splashing from any direction. It can be installed on exterior walls exposed to rain and damp conditions, but should not be positioned where it will face direct water jets (such as beneath a downpipe outlet or in an unprotected location subject to driving rain).

What bulb is recommended?

The lantern takes a standard E27 bulb up to 60W. Most users pair this with a warm-white LED filament bulb between 6-8W and 2200K-2700K to replicate traditional lantern aesthetics, or a brighter 10-12W LED in 3000K for functional entrance lighting.

Does the seeded glass affect light output?

Yes. The seeded texture scatters light across the glass surface, reducing direct glare and creating a softer, more diffused output compared to clear glass. This makes the lantern more comfortable to view from street level when lit, but does reduce the total lux reading at ground level by approximately 15-20% compared to an equivalent clear-glass lantern.

Can it be mounted on timber cladding?

Yes, provided the timber substrate is sound and the fixings are suitable for the wall construction. The backplate has two mounting holes and the installed weight is approximately 2.8kg. For timber-framed walls, fix into studs or use cavity fixings rated for the load.
