Solar Exterior Lighting
Classic octagonal geometry with self-contained solar illumination
This solar outdoor post light combines a European-inspired lantern silhouette with an aluminium body and faceted octagonal glass shade. The tapered frame, pitched roof and upper finial create a traditional architectural presence, while the glass panels keep the illuminated centre visually open across garden pillars, gates, pathways and villa entrances.
Two sizes are available: Small at W 7.09″ × H 13.78″ (W 18 × H 35 cm) and Large at W 9.06″ × H 16.93″ (W 23 × H 43 cm). The solar-powered fixture uses an integrated 5W LED with a stated output of 500 lumens, providing exterior illumination without requiring a mains electrical connection.
Design & Illumination
Faceted glass framed by traditional aluminium detailing
The body uses a tapered octagonal profile that widens around the illuminated centre before transitioning into a pitched roof and decorative finial. Vertical frame members give the glass enclosure definition and reinforce the traditional lantern character.
Aluminium forms the exterior structure while glass encloses the integrated light source. The material contrast keeps the frame visually substantial without obscuring the illumination, allowing the lantern to remain expressive from multiple viewing angles.
Dimensions
Small and Large proportions for different exterior scales
The Small measures 7.09″ (18 cm) wide and 13.78″ (35 cm) high, while the Large increases to 9.06″ (23 cm) wide and 16.93″ (43 cm) high for stronger architectural presence.

Product specifications
Size Options
Two scales with the same traditional lantern profile

W 23 × H 43 cm. A taller, broader proportion for more substantial pillars and prominent entrance settings.
Finish Options
Black or Antique Bronze for different exterior palettes
A darker finish that emphasises the tapered frame and creates stronger contrast around the glass panels.
A warmer finish option that reinforces the traditional European-inspired character of the lantern.
Solar Performance
Self-contained lighting for suitable sun-exposed locations
The fixture operates using solar power, allowing it to be installed without a mains electrical connection. Positioning should allow the solar system to receive suitable daylight exposure for nighttime operation.
Lighting Character
Visible LED illumination within an octagonal glass lantern
The integrated LED provides a stated 500-lumen output within the faceted glass enclosure. The surrounding aluminium frame remains clearly visible against the illuminated centre, reinforcing the fixture's octagonal geometry after dark.
Placement
Designed for garden pillars, gates and villa entrances
Outdoor Performance
IP65-rated protection for exterior use
The fixture carries an IP65 rating for outdoor protection. Its aluminium body and glass shade are intended for exterior applications including garden pillars, gates, pathways, villa entrances and posts.

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.
