FAQs
Is this lantern suitable for all outdoor conditions?
With an IP44 rating, this lantern is protected against splashing water and is suitable for most outdoor wall applications. However, extremely exposed coastal areas might require fixtures with higher IP ratings.
What type of bulb should I use?
You should use one E27 screw-in bulb with a maximum wattage of 100W.
Can I install this myself?
Due to its Class I electrical classification, professional installation by a qualified electrician is strongly recommended to ensure safety and compliance.
How do I maintain the Verdigris finish?
The Verdigris finish is designed to age naturally. Clean the brass body with a soft, dry cloth only. Avoid polishes or abrasive cleaners, as they will remove the characteristic patina.
What are the dimensions of the lantern?
The lantern has a width of 225mm, a height of 305mm, and a projection of 80mm. The back plate dimensions are 230mm (H) x 20mm (P) x 200mm (W).
Does the lantern come with a bulb?
No, the bulb is not included with the lantern. You will need to purchase one E27 bulb separately.
Troubleshooting
Lantern does not illuminate
Ensure the bulb is correctly screwed in, check that the bulb is not burnt out and replace if necessary. Verify power supply to the fixture and check the circuit breaker.
Flickering light
This could be due to a loose bulb connection or an incompatible bulb. Ensure the bulb is seated correctly and try a different E27 bulb. If the issue persists, contact an electrician.
Visible corrosion or damage
Inspect the fixture for any signs of damage during installation or after prolonged use. Minor patina is normal for brass; significant corrosion or damage may require professional assessment or replacement.
Water ingress in the glass panes
Check that all glass panes are securely fitted and that the seals are intact. If water is entering, it may compromise the electrical components. Contact a qualified electrician immediately.
