An open-frame lantern is the design that suits filament bulbs, and that is really what this fitting is for. With no diffuser hiding the lamp, a decorative or vintage-style filament E27 bulb becomes the visible feature — the glowing element seen through a black frame is the whole look, which is why it is specified as compatible with LED, filament and decorative bulbs rather than just any lamp. Put a plain frosted bulb in it and you lose most of the effect. It takes up to 25W, is rated IP44 for splash protection, and measures 270mm high by 160mm wide with 150mm projection, so it sits close to the wall. RoHS and CE compliant, which indicates assessment against recognised safety and materials standards.

Buying guide
Buy the bulb as deliberately as the fitting here, because an open frame shows it. A vintage filament-style LED gives the warm glowing-element look the design is built around; a plain frosted bulb works but wastes the effect; and a bright cool-white bulb in an open frame is genuinely unpleasant to look at, since nothing diffuses it. Stay within the 25W maximum. On placement, IP44 means splashes rather than jets, so this suits a porch, a veranda or a wall under some overhang rather than a fully exposed elevation — the IP65 fittings are the choice there. The 150mm projection is modest, which helps in a doorway or passage where a deeper fitting catches shoulders. RoHS and CE compliance is worth noting on a mains fitting. Mount around 1.9 to 2.1 metres and buy in pairs for symmetry either side of a door.
How it compares
Against a diffused wall light, an open frame shows the bulb, which is the point with filament lamps but glaring with a bright plain one. Compared with the IP65 cone wall lights, those handle fully exposed walls while this IP44 fitting suits porches and sheltered positions. Against the vintage bulkhead-style garden wall light, that encloses the bulb behind glass. Against a solar wall light, consistent mains brightness but wiring is required.
Frequently asked questions
Which bulb should I use?
A vintage filament-style LED — the open frame shows the bulb, and the glowing element is the whole look. A bright cool-white bulb in an open frame is unpleasant to look at because nothing diffuses it.
Can it go on an exposed wall?
IP44 covers splashes, so it suits a porch, veranda or wall with some overhang. For a fully exposed elevation, choose one of the IP65 fittings.
How far does it stick out?
150mm projection, which is modest — helpful in a doorway or passage where a deeper fitting would catch shoulders.
