Fabula Honeycroft Short Post - Graphite Black - IP54

A Little Lantern Glow for the Garden Path

Honeycroft takes its cues from old fashioned oil lanterns, its rectangular frame in die cast aluminium fitted with glass on all four sides so light spreads out evenly rather than in one direction. This short post version sits low, making it ideal for marking a path, a driveway edge or a run of steps rather than standing as a full height lamp post.

Choosing Your Finish

Graphite black lets the fitting recede into the background during the day and into the evening sky once it's dark, so the lit glass panels become the real focus after dusk. It's a versatile tone that works with most garden materials, from stone to timber. The same lantern design may be available in other finishes across the range for anyone wanting to match existing outdoor fittings.

How It Works

A single E27 bulb, up to 20W, sits inside the lantern, and dimmable bulbs can be used with a compatible dimmer if you want to vary the brightness. Wiring is to Class I standard, which means an earth connection is required at installation. With an IP54 rating, it's fully protected against rain and splashing water from any direction, which covers outdoor use comfortably and also meets the standard for bathroom zones 1 and 2 if you wanted to use the same design indoors in a wet room.

Where It Works Best

Outdoors is where this post really belongs, lining a path, marking a change in level, or sitting either side of a driveway entrance. Its lantern styling gives it a period feel that suits both older and newer properties. Thanks to its IP54 rating it could also be used indoors in bathroom zones 1 and 2, covered in our guide to bathroom lighting zones, though its garden lantern look is really designed with outdoor spaces in mind.

Design Details

The four sided glass construction is what gives this lantern its traditional feel, spreading light evenly rather than throwing it in a single beam. Die cast aluminium keeps the frame strong enough to withstand weather over time without the finish deteriorating quickly. It's a straightforward, honest design that leans on shape and material rather than added decoration.
