Turin Outdoor 1 Light Half Lantern - Black

The Turin is a half-lantern wall light built from die-cast aluminium with a black powder-coated finish, clear glass panels on three sides, and a pagoda-style top cap. It takes a single E27 bulb up to 60W (sold separately) and carries an IP54 rating for outdoor installation. The half-lantern form mounts flush against the wall, directing light forward and to the sides through the glass while the rear panel sits against the mounting surface.

Designed for porches, side entrances, garage doors and garden walls, the Turin provides functional lighting at doorways and pathways where visibility and a defined architectural accent are needed. The 375mm height and 230mm width suit standard UK door surrounds and brick or render walls. The IP54 rating protects against dust ingress and water splashes from rain, making it suitable for exposed positions under eaves or on open garden walls. The clear glass allows full light output from the bulb, while the black frame absorbs rather than reflects daylight.

The die-cast aluminium construction gives the fitting durability against impact and corrosion. The powder coat is applied after casting and fired at high temperature to bond to the metal surface, providing resistance to UV fade and moisture penetration. The pagoda cap adds a traditional lantern detail without overwhelming the proportions. Norlys backs the fitting with a 5-year guarantee covering UK coastal environments, which is uncommon for outdoor lighting at this price point.

What does the IP54 rating mean?

IP54 means the fitting is protected against dust ingress and can withstand water splashes from any direction. It is suitable for covered porches, walls under eaves, and open garden walls exposed to rain, but should not be used in positions where it would be directly hosed or submerged.

What bulb should I use?

The fitting takes a standard E27 (Edison screw) bulb up to 60W. For outdoor use, a warm-white LED bulb between 6-10W and 2700K-3000K provides good visibility without harshness. Filament-style LEDs give a traditional lantern appearance when viewed through the clear glass.

Can it be used in coastal locations?

Yes. The 5-year Norlys guarantee has no coastal exclusion, meaning the powder-coated aluminium is rated for exposure to salt air. This makes the Turin suitable for properties near the sea where cheaper steel fittings would corrode quickly.

How is it wired?

The lantern connects to a standard outdoor lighting circuit via a cable entry point at the rear. Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician to comply with UK outdoor wiring regulations. The fitting must be earthed.
