Exterior Pillar Lighting
An ornamental pillar lantern with layered architectural presence
This outdoor pillar light combines a traditional lantern silhouette with detailed metalwork and frosted glass, creating a more decorative approach to exterior post lighting. The aluminium body is shaped through a series of stepped edges, framed panels and a domed upper profile, giving the fixture a substantial architectural presence when positioned on gates, pillars and entrance posts.
Three sizes allow the lantern to be scaled to different exterior structures, beginning at 7.1″ wide × 15″ high (18 × 38.1 cm) and extending to 9.1″ wide × 22.8″ high (23.1 × 57.9 cm). An E27 socket provides compatibility with an E27 light source, while the frosted glass shade helps soften the appearance of the illumination within the decorative frame.
Design & Material
Traditional detailing shaped into a vertical lantern form
The fixture is defined by a tall, symmetrical silhouette with a stepped base, framed lantern body and domed upper section. Decorative crosswork across the glass panels introduces additional depth, while the finial above the roofline completes the traditional pillar-lantern composition.
The aluminium framework provides visual weight around the perimeter of the fixture, while frosted glass creates a softer internal surface. This contrast keeps the lantern visually detailed when switched off and gives the illuminated panels a more diffused appearance after dark.
Dimensions
Three heights for different architectural scales
Small, Medium and Large sizes provide three distinct proportions. The Small offers the most compact profile at 15″ (38.1 cm) high, while the Large reaches 22.8″ (57.9 cm) for stronger presence on larger pillars and entrance posts.
| Variant | Imperial | Metric |
|---|---|---|
| Small | W 7.1″ × H 15″ | W 18 × H 38.1 cm |
| Medium | W 9.1″ × H 18.9″ | W 23.1 × H 48 cm |
| Large | W 9.1″ × H 22.8″ | W 23.1 × H 57.9 cm |

Size Options
Scale the lantern to the surrounding architecture
The three sizes retain the same decorative language while changing the overall visual weight of the fixture. Selecting the proportion according to the width and height of the supporting pillar helps the lantern feel integrated with the architecture around it.
W 18 × H 38.1 cm. The most compact option for smaller posts, pillars and boundary structures.
W 23.1 × H 48 cm. A broader and taller proportion with increased architectural presence.
W 23.1 × H 57.9 cm. The tallest configuration for larger pillars and more prominent entrance settings.
Lighting Character
Diffused light behind decorative glasswork
Frosted glass surrounds the E27 light source, reducing the direct visual exposure of the bulb while creating an illuminated surface within the aluminium framework. The decorative crosswork remains clearly defined against the brighter glass when the fixture is switched on.
This combination gives the lantern a layered appearance after dark, with the light acting as a backdrop to the framed geometric detailing rather than overpowering the fixture's architectural form.
Placement
Designed to anchor gates, pillars and exterior entrances
Outdoor Performance
Designed for exterior pillar applications
The lantern is intended for outdoor use, with an aluminium body and glass shade forming the exterior fixture. Its base-mounted format is suited to fixed architectural elements such as pillars, posts and entrance structures.
Installation
Base-mounted placement on a suitable pillar or post
The fixture is designed to sit on a suitable horizontal pillar or post surface. Consider the selected fixture width alongside the available mounting surface before installation.
Care
Care for the aluminium frame and frosted glass
Clean the exterior with a soft, dry or lightly dampened cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and harsh chemical cleaners on both the aluminium body and frosted glass surfaces.

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.
