Verona Outdoor Lantern Wall Lamp

A geometric frame in matte black holding clear panels, so the fixture reads as a modern lantern rather than a traditional one. The frame is the design: sharp edges, right angles and no scrollwork, which is what places it in this century.

Two panel materials. Acrylic is lighter, tougher and the safer choice on an exposed wall or where a ball might reach it. Glass is crisper, refracts more cleanly and looks better close up at a front door, where it will not be knocked. Acrylic is also the lighter option to lift down and clean, which matters more than it sounds once a panel needs wiping after a season of rain and pollen.

The lantern form throws light outward through all four faces rather than down alone, so it lights an entrance area rather than only the step below it. That is what you want at a front door, where visitors need to see the lock and the number. Follow the supplied instructions for outdoor installation, with wiring carried out by a competent person. A pair either side of a front door gives a symmetrical entrance without needing a third fixture overhead, which suits a porch with no central ceiling point. Black hides watermarks better than a pale frame, which helps it stay looking sharp between cleans.
