Fabula Gilwell Wall Lamp - Sand Black & Antique Brass - IP65

A Period Style Lantern Built to Handle Wet Weather

The Gilwell wall lamp pairs a neat globe shaped shade with a mix of matt sand black and antique brass, giving it a bit of old fashioned character wherever it's mounted. It's built to a high enough IP rating to shrug off rain and splashes, so it earns its keep both inside and out.

Choosing Your Finish

This one combines sand black with antique brass detailing, a pairing that reads as slightly weathered and traditional rather than sharp or modern. The same lamp is also made in other finishes across the range, so there's flexibility if black isn't quite the tone you're after.

How It Works

It takes a single E27 bulb, 20W maximum, which isn't included. Dimming is possible if you fit dimmable bulbs and use a compatible dimmer switch. It's wired to Class I standard, so it needs an earth connection as part of installation. With an IP65 rating, it's protected against powerful water jets from any direction, which is what makes it suitable for bathroom zones 1 and 2 as well as sheltered or exposed outdoor spots.

Where It Works Best

Indoors, it works well in a kitchen where a bit of period detailing is welcome, and thanks to its IP65 rating it also covers bathroom zones 1 and 2 comfortably. For a full breakdown of what those zones mean in practice, our guide to bathroom lighting zones is worth a read before you buy. Outside, it holds up equally well as a porch light or mounted along an exterior wall.

Design Details

Built from die cast aluminium and iron with an acrylic diffuser, this lamp mixes a smooth globe shade with a more textured, weathered look on the fittings around it. That contrast between the clean glass and the matt black and brass metalwork is what gives it a slightly period feel without looking like a reproduction piece.
