Traditional Form, Serious Materials.
A classic wall lantern in die-cast aluminium alloy with a matt black finish and clear glass panels on all sides. At 410 mm tall and 200 mm wide it sits beside a front door with the proportions of a fitting that was chosen, not inherited. The E27 socket takes a bulb of your choosing, up to 60 W, and the clear glass turns a decorative filament LED into a design feature rather than hiding it behind frosted plastic. Dimmable with a compatible bulb and switch. IP44 rated for sheltered outdoor walls and bathrooms. Class 1 with earth connection required. Weighs 1.3 kg, which says more about the material than any label.
Why Aluminium Outlasts Every Plastic Lantern.
- Die-cast aluminium does not degrade in UV: Plastic lanterns yellow, crack and go brittle within a few seasons. Aluminium alloy holds its shape and its finish year after year. The matt black powder coat is baked on at temperature, not sprayed, and resists flaking and chalking.
- Clear glass panels for bulb visibility: The glass is transparent. A filament LED bulb becomes the focal point, visible through all four sides. The lantern frames the bulb rather than concealing it.
- Dimmable from full brightness to low glow: With a dimmable LED and compatible switch, the lantern adjusts from functional visibility at the door to a low amber accent for evening atmosphere. One fitting, two moods.
- IP44 rated for outdoor and bathroom positions: Protected against water splashing from any direction. Suitable for porches, covered entrances, garden walls under eaves and bathroom zones rated for IP44.
- E27 socket, your bulb, your choice: Warm white, cool white, filament LED or standard GLS. The lantern takes whatever suits the wall and the mood. Bulb not included, 60 W maximum.
- Class 1 earthed connection: Standard wiring for metal-bodied outdoor fittings. Live, neutral and earth required for safe installation on any mains-rated position.
Entrances That Suit the Lantern.
It belongs on the red-brick Victorian terrace where the builder's plastic fitting has gone brittle, on the white-painted render of a 1930s semi, or on the grey stone of a period cottage porch. Pairs flanking the front door create symmetry that frames the entrance. A single fitting on a garden wall lights a path without flooding the space. In a bathroom it brings a traditional accent most IP-rated fittings avoid. For ideas on how exterior choices connect to a home's broader interior direction, our guide to 2025 home decor trends covers the thinking.
The Plastic Lantern Stops Here.
Every new-build and most older properties have the same thing beside the front door: a plastic lantern chosen by a builder thinking about cost, not about the wall it sits on. It yellows in sunlight, cracks in frost and turns brittle within a few seasons. This is what replaces it. Die-cast aluminium alloy in a matt black finish, clear glass panels on all sides and an E27 socket that takes whatever bulb you choose. At 410 mm tall and 200 mm wide it suits a front door, a side entrance or a garden wall without looking undersized or oversized.
The clear glass panels are the design opportunity. With an LED filament bulb the glass becomes a display case for the bulb itself, visible from the street and glowing with the character of real filament rather than the flat output of a hidden light source. The fitting is dimmable with a compatible bulb and switch, IP44 rated for sheltered outdoor positions and bathrooms, and Class 1 with an earth connection required. At 1.3 kg it has genuine weight in the hand, which tells you more about the material quality than any specification line can.
For warm brass light at a desk or bedside inside the house, the industrial brass desk lamp brings a complementary tone through the hallway from the entrance into the rooms beyond.
What Real Materials Actually Change.
- It does not crack, yellow or go brittle. Plastic lanterns degrade in UV light within two to three seasons. Die-cast aluminium holds its form and finish for years. The matt black powder coat is baked on at temperature rather than sprayed, which is why it does not flake or chalk.
- Clear glass panels show the bulb you choose. The glass is transparent, not frosted. A decorative LED filament bulb becomes part of the design, visible through all four sides. The bulb is the centrepiece, not hidden behind a diffuser.
- Dimmable with the right bulb and switch. Pair with a dimmable LED and a compatible dimmer for full control over brightness. Low light for atmosphere in the evening, full output when you need visibility at the door.
- IP44 for sheltered outdoor and bathroom use. Protected against water splashing from any direction. Porches, covered entrances, garden walls under eaves and IP44-rated bathroom zones.
- E27 socket, 60 W maximum, bulb not included. Standard Edison screw fitting. Choose warm white for a traditional glow, cool white for sharper visibility, or a filament LED for character. The choice is yours, not the manufacturer's.
- Class 1 with earth connection required. The fitting requires live, neutral and earth wiring. This is standard for metal-bodied outdoor fittings where the frame must be earthed for safety.
Why Dimmable Matters Outside.
Most exterior lights run at one brightness all evening. A dimmable lantern lets you drop the output to a low glow for summer evenings on a patio, then raise it when someone arrives at the door. It extends bulb life and reduces running costs on evenings when full brightness is not needed. With a filament LED behind clear glass, dimming shifts the tone toward a deeper amber that suits the later hours.
Beside the Door and Beyond.
Pairs flanking a front door on a red-brick Victorian terrace or a white-rendered semi create symmetry that frames the entrance without shouting. A single fitting beside a side door on a grey concrete wall or a dark-stained fence panel provides enough light to navigate the path. On a covered patio wall it lights an outdoor dining area through warm summer evenings. In a bathroom mounted on pale ceramic tile or painted plaster, the matt black frame and clear glass bring a traditional accent that most IP-rated bathroom fittings avoid entirely.
Before You Order.
- Bulb not included. Takes one E27 GLS bulb, 60 W maximum. For the best result behind clear glass panels, choose a decorative LED filament bulb in warm white.
- Class 1, IP44, mains voltage 220-240 V. Earth wire is required. Suitable for sheltered outdoor positions and bathrooms rated for IP44 fittings.
- Check your wall position for IP44 suitability. IP44 covers any position with overhead shelter. For fully exposed walls with no cover above, an IP65-rated fitting is the correct choice.

FAQs: Black Outdoor Wall Lantern.
Die-cast aluminium alloy does not crack, yellow or go brittle in UV exposure the way plastic does. The matt black powder coat is baked on, resisting flaking and chalking across seasons. A plastic lantern needs replacing within a few years. This one does not.
A sealed LED fitting has an integrated light source with no bulb to change. This lantern takes a replaceable E27 bulb, giving you control over the colour temperature, the style and the brightness. When the bulb reaches end of life you replace it rather than replacing the entire fitting.
Any E27 bulb up to 60 W. For the best result behind clear glass, choose a decorative LED filament bulb in warm white. The filament is visible through the glass and becomes part of the design. For brighter task lighting, a standard warm white LED GLS works well. Bulb not included.
Any sheltered exterior wall: a porch, a covered entrance, a garden wall under eaves. It suits red-brick terraces, painted render, natural stone and timber cladding. In a bathroom it works on tiled or plastered walls as a traditional accent. For ideas on combining traditional fittings with softer textures and natural materials, our boho bedroom design guide covers the approach.
The fitting is dimmable when paired with a dimmable bulb and compatible dimmer switch. Dimming reduces brightness and, with a filament LED, shifts the tone toward deeper amber. Useful for evening atmosphere on a patio where full brightness is not always needed.
IP44 protects against water splashing from any direction. It covers porches, covered entrances, garden walls under eaves and bathroom zones. It does not cover fully exposed walls where driving rain hits directly. For those positions, choose an IP65-rated fitting instead.
Class 1 means the metal body must be connected to earth for safety. The wiring requires live, neutral and earth connections. This is standard for metal-bodied outdoor fittings and ensures the frame is safely earthed.
Pairs flanking a front door at 1.5 to 1.8 metres from the ground create symmetry and even light across the entrance. A single fitting works on a side wall, garden wall or beside a secondary door where the goal is path guidance rather than framing.
Dimensions: 410 mm (H) x 200 mm (W) x 220 mm (D). Material: die-cast aluminium alloy, clear glass panels. Finish: matt black. Bulb: E27 GLS, 60 W max, not included. Dimmable: yes. Voltage: 220-240 V. IP rating: IP44. Class: 1 (earth required). Weight: 1.3 kg.

A new lantern outside changes how the entrance feels from the street. The next question is what greets people on the other side of the door. These two guides cover the interior spaces that sit closest to the entrance and benefit most from the same level of attention.

- Class 1 with earth connection required. The fitting requires live, neutral and earth wiring. This is standard for metal-bodied outdoor fittings where the frame must be earthed for safety.
Why Dimmable Matters Outside.
Most exterior lights run at one brightness all evening. A dimmable lantern lets you drop the output to a low glow for summer evenings on a patio, then raise it when someone arrives at the door. It extends bulb life and reduces running costs on evenings when full brightness is not needed. With a filament LED behind clear glass, dimming shifts the tone toward a deeper amber that suits the later hours.
Beside the Door and Beyond.
Pairs flanking a front door on a red-brick Victorian terrace or a white-rendered semi create symmetry that frames the entrance without shouting. A single fitting beside a side door on a grey concrete wall or a dark-stained fence panel provides enough light to navigate the path. On a covered patio wall it lights an outdoor dining area through warm summer evenings. In a bathroom mounted on pale ceramic tile or painted plaster, the matt black frame and clear glass bring a traditional accent that most IP-rated bathroom fittings avoid entirely.
Before You Order.
- Bulb not included. Takes one E27 GLS bulb, 60 W maximum. For the best result behind clear glass panels, choose a decorative LED filament bulb in warm white.
- Class 1, IP44, mains voltage 220-240 V. Earth wire is required. Suitable for sheltered outdoor positions and bathrooms rated for IP44 fittings.
- Check your wall position for IP44 suitability. IP44 covers any position with overhead shelter. For fully exposed walls with no cover above, an IP65-rated fitting is the correct choice.

FAQs
FAQs: Black Outdoor Wall Lantern.
Die-cast aluminium alloy does not crack, yellow or go brittle in UV exposure the way plastic does. The matt black powder coat is baked on, resisting flaking and chalking across seasons. A plastic lantern needs replacing within a few years. This one does not.
A sealed LED fitting has an integrated light source with no bulb to change. This lantern takes a replaceable E27 bulb, giving you control over the colour temperature, the style and the brightness. When the bulb reaches end of life you replace it rather than replacing the entire fitting.
Any E27 bulb up to 60 W. For the best result behind clear glass, choose a decorative LED filament bulb in warm white. The filament is visible through the glass and becomes part of the design. For brighter task lighting, a standard warm white LED GLS works well. Bulb not included.
Any sheltered exterior wall: a porch, a covered entrance, a garden wall under eaves. It suits red-brick terraces, painted render, natural stone and timber cladding. In a bathroom it works on tiled or plastered walls as a traditional accent. For ideas on combining traditional fittings with softer textures and natural materials, our boho bedroom design guide covers the approach.
The fitting is dimmable when paired with a dimmable bulb and compatible dimmer switch. Dimming reduces brightness and, with a filament LED, shifts the tone toward deeper amber. Useful for evening atmosphere on a patio where full brightness is not always needed.
IP44 protects against water splashing from any direction. It covers porches, covered entrances, garden walls under eaves and bathroom zones. It does not cover fully exposed walls where driving rain hits directly. For those positions, choose an IP65-rated fitting instead.
Class 1 means the metal body must be connected to earth for safety. The wiring requires live, neutral and earth connections. This is standard for metal-bodied outdoor fittings and ensures the frame is safely earthed.
Pairs flanking a front door at 1.5 to 1.8 metres from the ground create symmetry and even light across the entrance. A single fitting works on a side wall, garden wall or beside a secondary door where the goal is path guidance rather than framing.
Dimensions: 410 mm (H) x 200 mm (W) x 220 mm (D). Material: die-cast aluminium alloy, clear glass panels. Finish: matt black. Bulb: E27 GLS, 60 W max, not included. Dimmable: yes. Voltage: 220-240 V. IP rating: IP44. Class: 1 (earth required). Weight: 1.3 kg.
Knowledge Hub
The Light Does Not Stop at the Front Door.
A new lantern outside changes how the entrance feels from the street. The next question is what greets people on the other side of the door. These two guides cover the interior spaces that sit closest to the entrance and benefit most from the same level of attention.
