It sits on the front of your house in morning frost, afternoon sun, driving rain and everything in between. The fitting you choose for that position is not just a light source; it is an architectural detail that says something about the property behind it, around the clock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"d-p\"\u003eThis traditional wall lantern is die cast in aluminium alloy with a matte black powder-coat finish. Die casting produces a denser, more rigid body than pressed or stamped metal, which means the edges stay sharp and the frame resists warping over years of thermal cycling. The clear glass panels let you see the bulb inside, and the traditional four-sided lantern silhouette gives the fitting an established, period-appropriate character that works on Victorian terraces, Edwardian semis and new-build brick alike. Dimensions are generous: 200mm wide, 200mm from the wall and 410mm tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"d-p\"\u003eIP44 rated and fully dimmable with an E27 bulb, it handles rain from any direction and gives you control over the light level at the door.

Edges stay crisp. Joints stay tight.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"d-li\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"d-lbl\"\u003eMatte black powder-coat finish.\u003c\/span\u003e The coating is baked onto the aluminium body, creating a surface that resists UV fade, rain spotting and the kind of surface degradation that leaves cheaper fittings looking tired within a couple of seasons.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"d-li\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"d-lbl\"\u003eClear glass panels on all four sides.\u003c\/span\u003e The glass is transparent, not tinted or frosted.

In practice, that covers wind-driven rain hitting the wall at an angle, water running down from a porch roof and the general exposure of a UK exterior wall across all four seasons. It does not cover submersion or direct jet washing, but for a wall-mounted lantern beside a front door, on a porch wall or flanking a garage, IP44 is the rating that matches the real conditions the fitting will face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"d-sec\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"d-h\"\u003eWhere matte black earns its place.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"d-p\"\u003eAgainst red brick where the black frame draws a clean line and the clear glass catches the warmth of the masonry. On rendered white walls where the lantern becomes the strongest visual element on the facade. Beside a painted front door in heritage green, navy or burgundy where the matte black sits as a neutral anchor. Flanking a driveway gate on honey-coloured stone where the traditional silhouette adds period detail without looking ornate. On a garden wall at the side of the house where the 410mm height is substantial enough to light a path without the bulk of a post lantern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"d-sec\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"d-h d-hu\"\u003eBefore you order.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"d-ul\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"d-li\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"d-lbl\"\u003eBulb not included.\u003c\/span\u003e Takes a standard E27 GLS lamp up to 60W.

Suitable for brick, masonry and rendered surfaces. Ensure fixings are appropriate for the wall type and that the position is accessible for future bulb replacement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Urban Mill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56518400573820,"sku":"OL280B","price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/9672\/1715\/files\/traditional-black-outdoor-wall-lantern-light-classic-design.jpg?v=1774363617","url":"https:\/\/www.theurbanmill.co.uk\/products\/traditional-black-outdoor-wall-lantern-light-ol280b","provider":"The Urban Mill","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
