Product Information
Full details
The Douglas Outdoor Wall Light is an ideal choice for homeowners looking to elevate their porch or entryway with a modern take on the traditional lantern aesthetic. Its sleek black rectangular frame and frosted glass panels provide a sophisticated look while offering soft, ambient illumination that welcomes guests. While it is perfect for creating a warm atmosphere, it is important to note that the light is designed specifically for fixed wall mounting and requires standard hardwiring, making it less suitable for renters or those seeking portable lighting solutions.

FAQs
Is the light bulb included?
The product information does not specify if a bulb is included. Check the packaging contents or your local retailer requirements to purchase a compatible bulb.
Can I use this light in a coastal area?
While the fixture is built for outdoor use, ensure you clean the metal frame regularly to prevent salt buildup, which can corrode even the most durable outdoor finishes over time.
Is this fixture dimmable?
Dimmability depends on the bulb you choose and your home's dimmer switch. Use a dimmable LED bulb compatible with your existing wall switch if you wish to adjust brightness.
What is the IP rating of this light?
The Douglas Outdoor Wall Light is designed for exterior use. Please refer to the product packaging or documentation for the specific IP rating regarding water and dust ingress protection.
Can it be installed upside down?
It is recommended to install the fixture in its intended orientation to ensure the glass panels are seated correctly and water drainage pathways function as designed.
Troubleshooting
Light fails to illuminate
Verify the light bulb is tightened properly and check if the bulb is functional. If it still fails, consult an electrician to check the wiring connection.
Visible moisture inside the glass
Ensure the fixture housing is properly sealed against the wall surface using silicone caulking as recommended for exterior fixtures.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation: This fixture is designed for standard hardwired installation. It is highly recommended to have a qualified electrician perform the installation to ensure the fixture is safely connected to your home's electrical system and properly sealed against moisture.
Compatibility: Ensure your chosen mounting surface is flat and capable of supporting the weight of the lantern. Verify that your electrical box is rated for outdoor use.
Care: To keep your light looking its best, wipe the black frame periodically with a damp, soft cloth to remove dust and debris. Clean the frosted glass panels with a mild glass cleaner to ensure the light remains bright and clear. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals that could scratch the finish or damage the glass.
