Product Information
Full details
The Hinkley Castelle Outdoor Wall Lantern is designed for homeowners seeking a sophisticated, transitional lighting solution for exterior walls, porches, or entryways. Its standout feature is the unique combination of ribbed etched glass and detailed corner panels, which provide both an elegant aesthetic and diffused, atmospheric light. While its bronze finish and durable construction make it a stylish long-term addition to any home, users should note that the bulb is not included, requiring a separate E27 purchase to complete the installation.

FAQs
What type of bulb does the Castelle lantern take?
It uses a standard E27 base bulb. LED bulbs are recommended for energy efficiency.
Is this lantern suitable for coastal areas?
The fixture includes a 3-year anti-corrosion guarantee, but as with all outdoor metal fixtures, periodic cleaning is recommended in high-salt environments.
Can I install this on a motion sensor?
Yes, as long as the motion sensor is rated for the wattage and type of bulb you are using, the fixture is compatible.
What does the IP44 rating mean?
IP44 means the fixture is protected against solid objects larger than 1mm and splashing water from any direction, making it safe for exterior walls.
Does the fixture come with a warranty?
Yes, it is backed by a 3-year anti-corrosion guarantee.
Can I replace the glass if it breaks?
Please contact the manufacturer's customer service or your retailer to inquire about replacement glass components.
Troubleshooting
Light fails to turn on
Verify the bulb is screwed in completely and check that the circuit breaker has not tripped.
Light flickers when dimmed
Ensure the bulb being used is explicitly marked as 'dimmable' and compatible with your wall dimmer switch.
Visible water or condensation inside the glass
Check that the top cap and glass seals are tightened securely to maintain the IP44 integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure all local building codes are met. The lantern dimensions of H36 x W23 x L25.5 cm require a stable mounting surface such as brick or siding. For the best performance, pair the E27 socket with an outdoor-rated dimmable LED bulb. To maintain the bronze finish and ensure longevity, periodically clean the lantern with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals that could scratch the finish or degrade the protective coating. Ensure the mounting area is clear of debris before finalizing the bracket attachment.
