Wabash 2 Light Outdoor Wall Lantern - Bronze

The Wabash is a 349mm outdoor wall lantern housing two E14 candle bulbs behind clear glass panels, finished in a textured bronze with a small chevron-pattern panel on each vertical rib. The lantern projects 258mm from the wall on a rounded backplate, positioning the light source forward from the wall face to cast light downward and outward across porches, front doors and patio areas.

Designed for medium to large exterior walls where the architectural style leans traditional or classical, the Wabash suits rendered masonry, painted timber cladding and brick facades in suburban and rural settings. The IP44 rating protects the lamp holders and internal wiring from rain ingress and windblown dust, making the fitting suitable for exposed positions under eaves or on open garden walls. The clear glass maximises light output rather than diffusing it, so bulb choice directly affects the character of the light cast.

The bronze finish is applied over a cast aluminium body and shows tonal variation between the flat panels and the raised ribs, giving depth under daylight and shadow detail when the lantern is lit at night. The chevron detailing on each vertical rib adds a geometric accent without overwhelming the overall form. At 349mm tall and 207mm wide the Wabash reads as a medium-scale fitting, large enough to balance a double-width front door but not so large it dominates a single-storey porch elevation.

Hinkley provides a 3-year guarantee covering manufacturing defects. The lantern requires two E14 candle bulbs up to 40W each, sold separately. Most users pair this with warm-white LED candles between 4-6W and 2700K to mimic traditional flame-style lighting while keeping running costs low.

What bulbs does the Wabash take?

The lantern takes two E14 small Edison screw candle bulbs, each up to 40W. Bulbs are not included. Most users choose warm-white LED candle bulbs between 4-6W and 2700K-3000K for a traditional appearance with lower energy consumption.

Is it suitable for exposed positions without a porch roof?

Yes. The IP44 rating protects against rain and dust ingress from any direction, so the lantern can be mounted on open walls, garden walls, or under shallow eaves where direct rain may reach the fitting.

How far does it project from the wall?

The lantern projects 258mm from the wall face once mounted. This forward projection means the light source sits well clear of the wall, casting light downward and outward rather than creating a tight pool directly beneath the fitting.

What's the chevron detail made from?

The chevron pattern appears on the vertical ribs of the cast aluminium frame and is part of the moulded body rather than an applied overlay. The bronze finish is applied over the entire casting, so the chevron sits proud of the flat glass panels and catches light at different angles.
