A Traditional Lantern Style Up Light for Porches and Entrances
The Searchlight Acton is an outdoor up wall light styled as a traditional lantern, bringing a familiar silhouette to porches, entrances and exterior walls. Its light spreads upward through bevelled glass panels rather than down onto a path, giving a soft glow up the wall surface behind it.
Materials and Finish
The Acton is cast in aluminium and finished in black, giving it a hard wearing construction built to withstand life outdoors. Clear glass panels wrap around the lantern body so the bulb inside remains visible from every side.
How It Works
It takes a single E27 bulb, not included, so you can choose the warmth and brightness that suits your porch or entrance. The fixture is fixed in position rather than adjustable, and it is not dimmable. As a Class I fitting, it needs to be earthed and connected by a qualified electrician as part of a proper mains installation.
Where It Works Best
With an IP44 rating, the Acton is built for outdoor use and copes well with splashing water, making it a practical choice as a porch light or exterior wall lantern in sheltered spots exposed to the weather.
