Bring a touch of timeless tradition to your exterior with the Hereford ceiling lantern, black/clear, IP23, metal Elstead. This piece blends the charm of English-style craftsmanship with durable materials, offering a sophisticated lighting solution for those who appreciate classic architectural details.

• Authentic English lantern-style design.

The Hereford ceiling lantern is an exercise in classic elegance. Its die-cast aluminium frame is finished in a deep black that stands out against white or stone façades. The inclusion of delicate metal struts not only reinforces the traditional look but also provides a protective structure for the clear glass. During the day, the lantern acts as a decorative element, while at night, it projects a soft, guiding light that enhances the character of your home.

Designed for covered outdoor installations, the Hereford is rated IP23, meaning it is protected against water sprays up to 60 degrees from vertical. This makes it ideal for under-eave mounting, covered porches, or canopies where it can provide consistent illumination. Its build ensures resistance to the elements while maintaining its structural integrity over time.

Elstead is well-regarded for its commitment to classic, heritage-inspired lighting design. With a focus on replicating historical forms using modern manufacturing techniques, Elstead provides durable, high-quality fixtures that retain the charm and character of traditional outdoor lighting styles.

This ceiling lantern is designed to elevate the entryway or exterior living space. It is perfect for:

• Covered porches and verandas requiring classic charm.
• Adding safety lighting to residential entrances and doorways.
• Complementing traditional or colonial-style architecture.
• Providing atmospheric lighting beneath outdoor canopies.

To preserve the finish, clean the metal frame periodically with a soft, dry cloth. The glass panels can be cleaned with standard window cleaner, but ensure no moisture enters the electrical housing during the process. Regularly check the mounting hardware to ensure the lantern remains securely fastened, and avoid the use of abrasive scouring pads that might scratch the powder-coated finish.
