Navigator Marina Guard Circular Bulkhead - Raw Brass

A Porthole Light Cut Straight From the Quayside

There's something about an unlacquered brass fitting that just looks right against old stone, weathered timber or a boat shed wall. The Marina Guard Circular Bulkhead in Raw Brass arrives with its natural, uncoated surface exposed, so the metal is free to darken and develop its own soft patina as the seasons pass. No two will age quite the same way, which is exactly the point: this finish is for anyone who wants their outdoor lighting to earn its character rather than arrive with it already applied.

How It Works

Behind that simple circular face sits a solid brass body engineered for coastal and commercial exposure, with an IP64 rating that keeps rain and driven spray out of the electrics. The frosted glass diffuser softens the light from a single G9 lamp, up to 25W and not supplied, into a gentle glow rather than a hard glare, and the whole fitting wires in from the rear via a cable entry point, so nothing interrupts that clean circular profile once it's mounted. A screwdriver is needed to open the cover for lamping, a small deliberate barrier that keeps the fixture secure in public or exposed locations.

Where It Works Best

Raw Brass suits settings where you want the fitting itself to feel part of the building rather than an addition to it, think harbourside cottages, reclaimed brick, weathered render or anywhere a slightly industrial, lived in look is welcome. Compared with the Satin Nickel version in this range, which holds a consistent cool tone indefinitely, Raw Brass is the finish for people happy to let their lighting weather alongside the rest of the property. Within the wider Navigator collection of nautical fittings, the Marina Guard's compact circular shape makes it especially suited to closer viewing distances, porches, doorways and pathways, rather than the larger statement pieces found elsewhere in the range.

Questions People Ask

Will Raw Brass tarnish outdoors? Yes, and that's the appeal. Left uncoated, this finish reacts naturally to the air and will darken over months and years into a deeper, more weathered brass tone, especially in coastal air.

What size fitting am I getting? The Marina Guard Circular Bulkhead measures 140mm across and projects 50mm from the wall, so it sits fairly flush once installed.

Can I use this on an exposed exterior wall? Yes, its IP64 rating means it's built to cope with rain and driven spray, making it suitable for genuinely outdoor, weather exposed positions.
