Fabula Addison Large Wall Lamp - Antique Bronze & Clear Glass - IP54

An Old Fashioned Lantern Presence

Addison takes its visual cues from old streetlamp lanterns, pairing clear glass cylinders with an antique bronze frame that immediately evokes an older style of exterior lighting. It takes a standard E27 lamp holder, so you can use any bulb type that suits you, whether LED or CFL, warm or cool colour temperature. The clear glass means the bulb and its glow are fully visible, becoming part of the design rather than hidden away.

Choosing Your Finish

Antique bronze is a warm, slightly aged brown with real character, the kind of finish that looks at home on a garden wall or beside a front door. The clear glass shows everything, so the combination reads as honest and straightforward: you see the fitting, the bulb, the light happening. This transparency is part of the appeal, treating the whole thing as a design element you're meant to notice and appreciate.

How It Works

The E27 lamp holder at the heart of this fitting is connected to a standard circuit, requiring an earth connection (Class I). The IP54 rating means it's fully protected against water spray and dust from any direction, so it can handle wind and rain on an exposed wall or under a porch. You can use a dimmable bulb if you want to adjust brightness, as long as it pairs with a compatible dimmer switch.

Where It Works Best

With its IP54 rating, this fitting is suitable for bathroom zones 1 and 2, so it can work as a striking bathroom wall light if the aesthetic feels right for your space. See our guide to bathroom lighting zones for more detail. More typically, it's excellent on exterior walls, standing up well to weather by a front door, garden gate or along a garden wall. The rustic aesthetic means it suits period homes and period colour schemes better than ultra modern ones, but its solid construction and honest design language work in surprising settings.

Design Details

This piece is built from glass and metal, nothing more, nothing less. The construction is straightforward lantern design: frame the glass, house the bulb, let the light do the work. That simplicity is the point. Unlike modern fittings that try to hide their function, this one celebrates it, treating the light source as part of the visual story rather than something to conceal.

Questions People Ask

Can I use this outside in bad weather?
Yes. The IP54 rating means it's fully protected from water spray and dust, so it can handle rain, wind and salt air on exposed walls.

What colour bulb should I use?
That's entirely up to you. Warm white (2700K) looks more naturally period, while cool white (4000K or 5000K) creates a more contemporary look. LED bulbs are the most economical option.

Is it suitable for a bathroom?
Technically yes (IP54 rated for zones 1 and 2), but the aesthetic is period outdoor, so it works better on an exterior wall than above a modern bathroom sink.
