A Compact Black Lantern for Front Doors and Porches
The Acton Outdoor Wall Light is a classic lantern shape in black aluminium, the kind of fixture that has marked front doors and porches for generations.
Materials and Finish
Made from aluminium in a black finish, with clear glazed panels on all sides so the light spreads out rather than staying trapped behind a single pane.
How It Works
It takes a single E27 bulb (not included) and is not dimmable. This is a Class I fitting, which means it needs to be earthed. As with any exterior electrical fitting, we recommend having it installed by a registered, qualified electrician.
Where It Works Best
As a wall lantern, it suits porches, front doors and traditional exterior walls where a classic shape feels more at home than a modern fitting.

Questions People Ask

Yes, it is IP44 rated, which means it is protected against splashing water, so it suits porches and sheltered spots by a front door, though it should not be mounted somewhere that gets direct driving rain.
Does the Acton lantern come with a bulb?
No, it takes a single E27 bulb which is not included, so you will need to fit your own.
Can I dim this light?
No, this fixture is not dimmable, so it works on a standard switched circuit only.
