Clivo Copper Lantern Outdoor Wall Light

The Clivo carries a classic lantern silhouette to front doors, porches and terraces. A matt black aluminium frame holds a domed copper roof above a clear diffuser, giving the warm contrast of dark metal against bright copper that makes traditional exterior lighting feel considered rather than fussy. The lantern hangs below its wall arm and throws light downwards, so the beam lands where it earns its keep.

Materials do the heavy lifting outdoors. Copper and aluminium are corrosion resistant, which is why this light holds up in coastal and exposed positions where painted steel struggles, and the IP44 rating guards against splashing water from any direction. The clear plastic diffuser is robust rather than brittle, a sensible choice for a fitting that sits at head height beside a busy door.

Downward throw makes it a practical choice at a threshold, on steps or over the first few feet of a path, where light on the ground matters more than light on the wall. Copper weathers: it dulls from bright metal towards a deeper brown over time, and that change belongs to the material rather than being a fault. Leave it to darken or polish it back, whichever you prefer. Since IP44 covers splashing rather than jets, choose a position that is not taking the full force of a driven downpour.
