Description
The Tiller is an outdoor wall lantern made from solid brass in an Antique Brass finish, a deep, mellow brown with warmer gold catching the edges. A bell-shaped hood sits over clear ribbed glass, a sturdy cage guards the glass, and the whole lantern hangs from a bracket arm on a round wall plate. It is 14.5cm wide and 27cm tall, and stands 22cm from the wall: a modest size that suits the space beside a front door. It is rated IP64, which means dust-tight and protected from splashing water, so it lives outdoors in British weather.
Put it beside a front door, in a porch, on a garden wall or on the side of a boathouse or outbuilding. The ribbed glass, the cage and the ring on top of the hood give it the look of a ship's deck light. The maker describes the Tiller as taking its influence from traditional maritime lighting, and says that maritime influence shows in the range's materials, designs and names. The maker also says it is designed for outdoor walls anywhere from inland homes to exposed coastal settings. It suits a cottage, a harbourside house or a plain modern doorway that wants some working character.
Solid brass darkens and mellows outdoors, and the maker says the brass on the Tiller is left to age naturally, so its look changes gradually with time and exposure rather than staying fixed. The maker also says individual components can be replaced when needed, which makes it a light to maintain and keep. Cable entry is at the rear, through the wall plate, so the supply stays out of sight behind the lantern. It takes one E27 (ES) lamp up to 18W, and the lamp is not included, so have one ready on fitting day. It weighs 2.6KG, and as a mains light it is installed by a qualified electrician.

Frequently Asked
Can the Tiller wall lantern go on an exposed coastal wall?
Yes. The maker says it is designed for outdoor walls from inland homes to exposed coastal settings, and its IP64 rating means it is dust-tight and protected from splashing water.
What does IP64 mean for this lantern?
IP64 means the lantern is dust-tight and protected from splashing water, so it can stay on an outdoor wall through British weather all year.
What bulb does the Tiller take, and is one included?
It takes one E27 (ES) lamp up to a maximum of 18W. The lamp is not included, so you will need to buy one separately.
How big is the Tiller wall lantern?
It is 14.5cm wide and 27cm tall, and projects 22cm from the wall. The round wall plate is 9.6cm across, and the lantern weighs 2.6KG.
Will the antique brass finish change over time?
Solid brass darkens and mellows outdoors, and the maker says the brass on the Tiller is left to age naturally, so its look gradually changes with time and exposure.
Where does the cable enter the lantern?
Cable entry is at the rear, through the wall plate, so the supply comes straight from the wall behind the lantern and stays out of sight.
