Elstead Chapel 1 Light Chain Lantern - Black

A coach lantern built to hang

Chapel takes the squared body and pitched cap of a traditional coach lamp and suspends it from a chain rather than fixing it to a wall bracket, turning a familiar silhouette into a pendant for a porch or entrance. Four clear glass panels wrap the frame, so the lantern reads as lit from every side rather than throwing light from just one face.

Matte black cast aluminium and clear glass

The body is cast aluminium finished in a flat matte black, with moulded cornice lines and a stepped, pitched cap that reads like old ironwork rather than a modern die cast fitting. The four glass panels are left clear rather than frosted, so the lamp inside stays visible and the lantern looks properly lit from any angle in the porch.

How It Works

A single E27 lamp sits at the centre of the housing, held clear of the glass so the frame doesn't shade it. The chain gives a drop that adjusts between 57cm and 104cm, which allows some flexibility if your porch ceiling sits higher or lower than standard, and the fitting will dim if you fit a dimmable bulb.

Where It Works Best

Built for outdoor use and rated IP44, Chapel suits a porch, covered entrance or veranda, anywhere a hanging light makes more sense than something wall mounted. Matte black reads well against brick, render or timber house fronts alike.

Part of the Chapel range

This chain lantern shares its coach lamp design with the smaller Chapel Mini range of wall lanterns from Elstead Lighting, so if you're lighting a porch alongside a neighbouring wall or pillar, there's a matching wall mounted option in the same collection.

Questions People Ask

Is the Chapel lantern suitable for outdoor use? Yes. It's rated IP44, which suits a covered outdoor spot such as a porch, entrance or veranda rather than somewhere fully exposed to driving rain.

Can I adjust how low the Chapel lantern hangs? Yes. The chain gives a drop that adjusts between 57cm and 104cm, so it can sit a little higher or lower depending on your porch ceiling.

Does the Chapel lantern come with a bulb? No. It takes a single E27 lamp holder and a bulb isn't included, so choose a dimmable E27 bulb if you want to run it on a dimmer switch.

Is there a wall mounted version to match this lantern? Yes. The smaller Chapel Mini range from Elstead Lighting uses the same coach lamp design as a wall light, so it can be paired with this hanging lantern nearby.
