Exterior Pillar Lighting
Pavilion-inspired detailing with a tall architectural presence
This outdoor pillar light combines a pavilion-inspired silhouette with a die-cast aluminium body and glass shade, creating a decorative architectural feature for gardens, courtyard pillars, gate posts and entrance areas. The tapered lantern body, framed glass panels and layered roofline give the fixture a traditional sense of structure without overwhelming the surrounding exterior architecture.
Measuring W 9.1″ × H 16.5″ (W 23 × H 42 cm), the fixture is available in Black and Bronze finishes with separate solar and hardwired configurations. The hardwired version operates at 110–220V with an E26/E27 bulb base, while the solar configuration uses a 3.7V 2500mAh rechargeable battery with automatic dusk-to-dawn operation.
Design & Material
Layered rooflines and framed glass create traditional depth
The fixture rises from a stepped square base into a tapered lantern body before transitioning into a broad layered roof and upper finial. Framed glass panels reinforce the vertical proportions, while the roofline gives the lantern a clear silhouette from a distance.
Die-cast aluminium forms the exterior framework and structural detailing, while glass fills the lantern panels around the light source. This contrast keeps the body visually substantial while allowing the illuminated centre to remain visible through the surrounding frame.
Dimensions
A 16.5″ tall profile for posts and exterior pillars
The fixture measures 9.1″ (23 cm) in overall width and 16.5″ (42 cm) in overall height, giving it a relatively tall proportion for base-mounted placement on suitable pillars, posts and entrance structures.

Product specifications
Finish Options
Two finishes for different exterior palettes
A darker finish that emphasises the pavilion geometry and framed glass against lighter masonry and rendered surfaces.
A warmer finish option that complements the traditional architectural character of the lantern form.
Power Options
Automatic solar operation or fixed hardwired lighting
The solar configuration uses a 3.7V 2500mAh rechargeable battery and an automatic light sensor that switches the fixture on at dusk and off during daylight.
The hardwired configuration operates at 110–220V and is designed around an E26/E27 bulb base for a fixed electrical installation.
Lighting Character
Visible illumination framed by traditional glasswork
Glass panels surround the internal light source, allowing the illumination to remain visually present through the framed aluminium body. The vertical glazing and tapered structure help emphasise the lantern's height once illuminated.
Available colour-temperature options include 3000K Warm White, 4500K Neutral White and 6000K Cool White depending on the selected configuration.
Placement
Designed for garden posts, courtyard pillars and entrance architecture

Pillar Lights
Common Questions
Pillar lights are fixtures designed to mount on top of or onto the face of brick, stone, or rendered pillars, posts, and gate columns. They're commonly used at driveway entrances, garden gates, fence posts, and courtyard columns — providing both functional lighting and a strong architectural statement at entry points.
Yes. Pillar lights are built for permanent outdoor exposure. Check for an IP44 rating minimum for covered or sheltered pillars, and IP65 or higher for fully exposed installations. The IP rating for each fixture is listed on the product page.
Most pillar lights are hardwired into a 120V (US) or 240V (AU) outdoor circuit, with the cable routed through or along the pillar. Some post-top models sit over a hollow post with wiring fed through the centre. We recommend a licensed electrician for all hardwired outdoor installations.
Most of our pillar lights use integrated LED, so no bulb changes are ever needed. Integrated LEDs are rated for 50,000+ hours. Where a fixture takes a replaceable bulb, the compatible type and fitting size are listed on the product page.
As a general rule, the fixture should be no wider than the pillar face it sits on. Post-top models list the compatible post diameter in their specs. For gate pillars and columns, taller lantern-style fixtures tend to be the most proportionate. Full dimensions are listed on every product page.
A good starting point is matching the finish to your front door hardware — black, brushed nickel, bronze, or brass. Clean geometric profiles suit contemporary homes; lantern shapes suit federation, colonial, or classic brick builds. Coastal and hamptons-style homes generally suit white or brushed nickel with a simple silhouette.
Some models support dimming, some do not — this is listed on each product page. Dimmable fixtures require a compatible outdoor dimmer and may not work with all dimmer brands or smart home systems.
Yes. As long as the fixture is hardwired, it can be controlled by any compatible timer switch, smart switch, or home automation system wired into the same circuit. If you also want brightness control, ensure the fixture is dimmable and paired with a compatible dimmer.
