Elstead Holborn 2 Light Flush - Verdigris

A porch light with a weathered edge

The Holborn flush fitting is built as a neat glass box for a ceiling or porch, with two lamp holders sitting behind clear bevelled panels. In Verdigris, the solid brass frame carries a mottled blue green patina rather than a bright polished surface, so it reads more like reclaimed hardware that has already weathered outdoors for years.

Verdigris finish

The colour shifts across the fitting rather than sitting flat, moving between blue, green and grey with patches where the brass underneath shows through, most visible along the slatted vent band around the top of the box. Verdigris is a mottled finish by design, so slight variation in tone between individual fittings is normal and part of the effect rather than a flaw.

How It Works

Two E27 lamp holders sit inside the glass box, suited to E27 LED bulbs, so light spreads out sideways through the bevelled panels rather than pooling straight down. Fit dimmable LED bulbs and the fitting works on a dimmer circuit. Bulbs themselves aren't included, so you can choose exactly the temperature and brightness you want.

Where It Works Best

This finish suits coastal homes, period cottages and anywhere a weathered green patina looks more at home than a shiny modern surface. It's built for outdoor use, over a porch, along a covered terrace, or above a doorway, where a flush fitting needs to sit close to the ceiling and stay clear of low branches or door frames.

Elstead Lighting

Elstead Lighting is a British decorative lighting group and distributor whose roots trace back to The Elstead Forge in Alton, Hampshire, and the business is still led by the Lucas family today. The Holborn flush is offered across a handful of finishes, from a bright chrome through to this aged Verdigris patina, so the same square lantern shape can suit a bright modern porch or a more weathered, period fronted property depending on which tone you choose.

Questions People Ask

Is the Holborn flush light suitable for outdoor use? Yes. It's rated IP44 and designed for an outdoor ceiling, so it suits porches, covered terraces and doorways.

Does the Holborn flush come with bulbs? No. It takes two E27 lamp holders and bulbs aren't supplied, so choose dimmable E27 LED bulbs if you want to use it with a dimmer switch.

Is the Verdigris finish the same on every fitting? Verdigris is a mottled finish by design, so slight variation in tone and patina between individual fittings is normal and part of the character rather than a fault.

What other finishes is the Holborn flush available in? Elstead offers Holborn in a small range of finishes, from bright chrome through to this Verdigris patina, so you can match the shape to other fittings in the same style.
