Searchlight Barnet 450mm Outdoor IP44 Post - Black & Smoked Diffuser

A Classic Black Post Light for Paths and Driveways

The Barnet 450mm Outdoor Post is a black stainless steel lamp post with a smoked glass diffuser, part of the wider Barnet range. It gives a classic lantern style glow for lining paths, driveways, and garden borders.

Materials and Finish

Stainless steel in a black finish, paired with a smoked glass diffuser that softens the light without hiding the bulb inside.

How It Works

Takes 1 x 60W max E27 candle bulb (not included) and is dimmable when paired with a compatible dimmer switch. It's Class I, which means it needs an earth connection and should be installed by a qualified electrician.

Where It Works Best

A path light or driveway light for lining routes to a front door, garden, or parking area. Its low, compact height also suits borders and beds where a taller lamp post would look out of place.
