Trellis Outdoor 3 Light Medium Wall Lantern - Bronze

The Trellis is a 502mm outdoor wall lantern with a tapering clear seedy glass enclosure housing three E14 candelabra bulbs (sold separately), mounted on a hand-forged scrollwork arm in a bronze finish. The seedy glass diffuses light through hundreds of tiny bubbles in the glass, softening the bulb glare while retaining enough clarity to show the candelabra silhouette within.

Designed for front porches, garage exteriors, patio walls and covered entryways, the Trellis pairs IP44-rated weatherproofing with traditional wrought-iron detailing. The scroll arm extends 368mm from the wall, positioning the lantern clear of most door swings and allowing light to spread forward rather than directly downward. The cast loop finial at the top of the lantern and the rivet details on the backplate reference early 20th-century coach lanterns without leaning into pastiche.

The bronze finish is a hand-applied patina over solid metal rather than a spray coating, so the tone varies slightly across different sections of the scrollwork and backplate depending on how the metal took the finish during production. The 229mm width suits medium-sized wall areas — narrower than a double garage door but substantial enough to anchor a 900mm-wide front door. At 60W maximum per bulb, the three-light configuration provides enough output to light a porch step safely without overwhelming the glass or creating harsh shadows.

What does the IP44 rating mean for outdoor use?

IP44 protects against solid objects over 1mm and water splashing from any direction. The Trellis is suitable for covered porches, garage exteriors and patio walls where it receives some shelter from roof eaves. It is not rated for fully exposed coastal positions or locations with direct heavy rainfall.

What bulb should I use?

The lantern takes three E14 (small Edison screw) candelabra bulbs up to 60W each, sold separately. Most users pair this with 4-6W warm-white LED candles at 2700K to mimic traditional filament bulbs while reducing running costs.

How far does the lantern project from the wall?

The scroll arm extends 368mm from the wall surface to the front face of the glass. This positions the lantern clear of most outward-opening doors and allows light to spread forward along a porch or pathway rather than being blocked by the wall itself.

Is the bronze finish solid or plated?

The bronze is a hand-applied patina over solid metal rather than a plated or powder-coated finish. This means the tone varies slightly across different sections of the scrollwork depending on how the metal oxidised during finishing, which is characteristic of the hand-forged look Hinkley targets with this range.
