Exterior Lantern Lighting
A compact retro lantern with solar or hardwired flexibility
This outdoor wall sconce combines a die-cast aluminium body with a glass shade, creating a compact lantern profile for porches, courtyard walls and exterior entrances. A projecting upper shade and softly enclosed glass body give the fixture a traditional silhouette, while Black and Bronze finish options allow it to move between cleaner contemporary exteriors and more classic architectural settings.
Measuring W 7.87″ × H 12.2″ × D 4.72″ (W 20 × H 31 × D 12 cm), the fixture is available in separate solar and hardwired configurations. The solar model charges in approximately 6 hours of direct sunlight and can provide up to 20 hours of illumination, while the hardwired version operates at 110–240V and uses an E26/E27 bulb base.
Design & Material
A traditional lantern silhouette shaped by metal, glass and proportion
The fixture extends 4.72″ (12 cm) from the wall, giving the lantern enough depth to create a defined architectural presence without becoming visually bulky. Its broad upper shade helps frame the glass body beneath and reinforces the retro character.
Die-cast aluminium forms the structural body while glass encloses the illuminated centre. The material contrast keeps the lantern visually substantial while allowing the internal light to remain clearly expressed after dark.
Dimensions
Compact proportions for exterior walls and entrances
The fixture measures 7.87″ (20 cm) wide, 12.2″ (31 cm) high and 4.72″ (12 cm) deep, giving it a relatively slim projection while maintaining enough height to read clearly as an architectural lantern.

Product specifications
Power Options
Solar convenience or a fixed hardwired connection
The solar model charges in approximately 6 hours of direct sunlight and can provide up to 20 hours of illumination, offering a convenient option where mains wiring is not preferred.
The hardwired version provides fixed AC-powered operation and uses an E26/E27 bulb base for straightforward light-source replacement.
Finish Options
Black or Bronze for different exterior characters
The Black finish gives the traditional lantern form a cleaner, more graphic appearance against contemporary façades.
The Bronze finish reinforces the retro silhouette and pairs naturally with warmer exterior materials and more traditional architecture.
Lighting Character
Warm light diffused through a compact glass lantern
The glass shade allows the warm 3000K illumination to remain visible through the body of the fixture, creating a softer glow around exterior approaches and wall surfaces.
The projecting lantern shape gives the light greater visual depth than a flush wall fitting, while the broad upper shade provides a clear architectural outline during both day and night.
Placement
Designed for porches, courtyards and exterior entry walls
Outdoor Performance
IP55-rated protection for exterior wall use
The fixture carries an IP55 rating for outdoor protection. Its die-cast aluminium body and glass shade are intended for suitable exterior applications including porches, courtyard walls and entry areas.
Installation
Wall-mounted solar or hardwired installation
Select the solar or hardwired configuration according to the intended location and available power arrangement. The solar option does not require a mains electrical connection, while the hardwired version operates at 110–240V.
Professional installation recommended for the hardwired configuration. Electrical installation should be completed by a suitably qualified electrician and in accordance with applicable local electrical requirements.
Care
Simple care for aluminium and glass surfaces
Clean the fixture using a soft, dry or lightly dampened cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and harsh chemical cleaners. For hardwired installations, isolate electrical power before cleaning.

Outdoor Wall Lights
Common Questions
Outdoor wall lights mount directly onto an exterior wall surface. They're used at front doors, garage walls, side entries, alfresco areas, fences, and along exterior hallways — providing focused ambient or security lighting at eye level. They work equally well as a single statement fixture or in pairs flanking a door or gate.
Yes, but the level of weather protection varies by product. Look for IP44 minimum for sheltered or covered wall positions, and IP65 or higher for walls fully exposed to rain and direct weather. Coastal properties should look for fixtures with a marine-grade or corrosion-resistant finish. The IP rating is listed on every product page.
They mount onto an exterior wall and hardwire into a 120V (US) or 240V (AU) junction box. Most fixtures come with a backplate that covers the junction box. We recommend a licensed electrician for all hardwired outdoor installations, particularly where new cabling or weatherproof conduit is required.
This varies by product. Many of our outdoor wall lights use integrated LED — no bulb required. Where a replaceable bulb is needed, the compatible type, wattage, and fitting size are listed on the product page. Never exceed the maximum wattage stated for the fixture.
Match the finish to your existing door hardware, hinges, and house numbers for a cohesive look. Matte black suits contemporary and industrial exteriors. Brushed nickel or chrome works well with modern coastal and hamptons styles. Antique brass or bronze suits federation, colonial, and traditional brick homes. All available finishes are shown on each product page.
Yes. Many of our outdoor wall lights can be paired with a motion sensor switch or installed on a timer for security purposes. Some models have an integrated motion sensor — this is noted on the product page. For pure security applications, look for fixtures with a wider beam angle and cool white light output.
Some models are dimmable, some are not — this is listed on each product page. Dimmable fixtures require a compatible exterior-rated dimmer switch. Outdoor wall lights can also be wired to a timer, smart switch, or motion sensor for automated control without needing a dimmer.
A fixture flanking a front door should sit at eye level — roughly 5.5–6 feet (1.6–1.8m) from the ground to the centre of the fixture. For a single fixture beside a door, choose a height roughly one third of the door height. For wide garage walls or large exterior facades, consider a wider fixture or two fixtures spaced evenly. Full dimensions are listed on every product page.
