Description
The Wakefield is a 357mm outdoor wall lantern built from weather-resistant composite material in an earth black textured finish, with clear seedy glass panels on four sides and a single E27 bulb fitting. The frame uses a 'frame within a frame' construction, where an inner vertical bar structure sits within the outer rectangular housing, creating depth and a layered visual when the bulb is lit.
Designed for porch entrances, garage exteriors, and garden walls, the Wakefield carries an IP44 rating for outdoor use, protecting against solid objects larger than 1mm and water splashes from any direction. The composite material resists corrosion in coastal and high-moisture environments where steel or aluminium fittings would degrade, and the textured black finish hides surface weathering better than smooth powder coats. The 248mm projection means it extends a full handspan from the wall when mounted, directing light outward rather than flat against the surface.
The seedy glass is cast with deliberate bubbles and imperfections that scatter light from the filament bulb, softening harsh shadows and creating a warm glow rather than a hard directional beam. The lantern accepts any standard E27 LED, halogen or filament bulb up to 60W (sold separately), giving control over colour temperature and brightness. The earth black finish pairs with traditional brick, rendered walls, and darker-toned cladding without creating stark contrast.

Frequently Asked
What IP rating does this carry and where can it be used?
The Wakefield is rated IP44, meaning it's protected against solid objects larger than 1mm and water splashes from any direction. It can be used on covered porches, under eaves, on garage walls, and in garden locations where it will not be directly exposed to driving rain or submersion. It is not suitable for locations with direct overhead rain exposure unless fitted under a canopy or soffit.
What bulb does it take?
The lantern takes a standard E27 (Edison screw) bulb up to 60W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with a warm-white LED filament bulb between 4-8W and 2200K-2700K to complement the seedy glass and traditional styling.
Is the composite material durable in coastal areas?
Yes. The composite material resists salt corrosion and moisture damage better than metal fittings in coastal environments. The textured earth black finish also hides salt residue and surface weathering more effectively than smooth finishes.
How far does it project from the wall?
The lantern projects 248mm from the wall when mounted. This positions the light source forward of the wall surface, directing light outward and downward rather than flat against the wall, which improves visibility on pathways and steps near the fitting.
