Portland Lantern Works Salcombe Brass Half Lantern Medium

A half lantern that sits flat to the wall, for a porch or a passage where a full lantern would be in the way. Same construction, half the projection. Sold singly.

Made in Cornwall from solid brass of a gauge that is heavier than it needs to be. Every seam is silver soldered, not glued and not riveted, and the glass is bedded on a silicone gasket that can be replaced without breaking anything. Marine grade stainless fixings are supplied because plated steel screws will streak the wall inside a winter.

Fitting

This is a hardwired exterior fitting and should be installed by a qualified electrician working to BS 7671. The gasket and cable gland are supplied. Bed the backplate onto a bead of neutral cure silicone and leave the lower edge open so any moisture can drain. At roughly 3.3 kilograms it is light enough for a good quality plasterboard anchor if there is no timber behind.
