Navigator Francis Wall Light - Antique Brass

A Wall Light With the Patina of an Old Harbour

Some fixtures are built to look brand new forever. This one is not. The Navigator Francis in Antique Brass carries a deep, weathered brass tone from the moment it arrives, the kind of colour you would expect from a fitting that has spent years facing salt air and changeable weather. Solid and compact, it has the quiet, purposeful look of ship's hardware rather than a decorative afterthought.

How It Works

• A solid brass body houses a frosted glass diffuser panel, which softens the light rather than throwing a bare glare.
• Rated IP64, so it is sealed against rain and spray coming from any direction, not just straight down.
• Wall mounted, with the cable entering through a gland at the rear for a tidy, wire free front face.
• A plastic rear cover is included for flush or recessed fitting into a wall box, and can simply be left off if you are surface mounting instead.
• Runs a single GX53 lamp (not supplied). Choose a dimmable GX53 if you want it to work on a dimmer circuit.
• The glass panel is held in place with a fixing that needs a tool to open, so it is not something that can be knocked loose or removed by hand.

Where It Works Best

This is a fixture for the exposed spots: a porch that catches the weather, a gate pillar, a boathouse wall, or a run of lighting along a seafront terrace. Antique Brass gives you that already lived in look from day one, which suits period stonework, reclaimed brick or anywhere you want the light fitting to look like it has always belonged there.

Within the Francis range, this sits alongside Raw Brass, which starts bright and gradually darkens with weather and handling over the years, and Satin Nickel, a cooler, more contemporary option for pairing with grey render or nickel door furniture. If you want the aged character without waiting for it to happen naturally, this is the finish to choose. It also shares its design language with other pieces in Lampfix's wider Navigator collection, so it mixes comfortably with other brass fittings along the same elevation.

Questions People Ask

Q: Can the Antique Brass Francis wall light take direct rain and sea spray?
A: Yes. It is rated IP64, which covers splashing water from any direction, so it copes well with an exposed porch, gate pillar or coastal wall.

Q: What bulb does this wall light need?
A: A single GX53 lamp, which is not included. Pick a dimmable GX53 if you plan to run it from a dimmer switch.

Q: Will the antique brass colour change once it is fitted outside?
A: Not in the way raw brass does. The antique finish already carries its aged tone when it leaves the factory, so it holds a steadier look outdoors than an untreated brass fixture left to develop its own patina.
