  It's a pretty little lantern.....but.... Please note position of the screw holes!
  Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 November 2020
  First one arrived and seemed sturdy and the design looked just the part ....but it was damaged! Got a very quick replacement via Amazon which seemed perfect until I came to fit it. For some bizarre reason the screw holes to fix to wall aren't level. I hadn't checked this as I was using a line by the wire entry hole as a horizontal guide. So, when I came to fit the screws to my drilled holes the lantern was very crooked. Stupid design as no reason for this, but stupid me for not checking. So take two, I was very careful to match my drill holes with the holes in the lamp and also make sure it would be level once fitted (not as easy as it should be!). Next was wiring in which was ridiculously fiddly even with my small woman's fingers. Then I came to fitting the lantern body which threw me another curve ball as the holes on the front plate of the lantern didn't match the position of the bolts on the base. (Aaaarrrggghhh!) If I fit the main body as it was, the whole thing was o a 45% angle!So, for a third time I had to remove the base plate and the drill the main fixing holes. That done I fitted the body of the lamp so that it finally sat level. But it had one last trick in store...because the holes were so out of line, one but only just fit on below the "lid" of the lantern. The nuts and washers are so tiny it would be very easy to lose them. They need to be tightened using a very small spanner or similar tool which easily marks the the black coating and one is so close to the "lid" that it was almost impossible to fit. That wasn't the case on the first lantern I received so you could get lucky and receive an undamaged light with holes in sensible places! I liked the lantern enough that I persevered and got it up but it took ages and I'm an experienced diyer. Photos are before I bought an Edison bulb which looks lovely in it. This light has no motion censor so I can't rate thatand the brightness depends on the bulb fitted surely?! Despite all this I'm glad I bought it. It's a very reasonable price for an all metal lantern with real glass panes, similar items were 3 or 4 times the cost. Also check the dimensions as it's smaller than you'd think. I read reviews first and a fair few had been caught out. It's the perfect size for where I wanted it and I love the design. Despite all the hassle I love it.

  Exactly what we wanted!

  We were in desperate need of a porch light, and wanted one that had a simple Victorian feel to compliment the age and look of our home. This is perfect in every way, and was installed by a handyman in less than 20-minutes. Extremely happy!

  feels a bit small... and crooked
  Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 July 2021
  First of all - Might be 100% subjective, but I kinda expected the lamp to be a bit bigger. Then again, the dimensions are provided on product page, so lack of spatial imagination is on me I guess.Overall pretty ok. Finish is solid, doesn't feel cheap or plasticky. The only issue is the bulb holder. it's crooked, and it looks off, so if you have OCD, it might bother you. Otherwise, pretty good.

  Elegant and well-made;easy to install.
  Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 January 2021
  This was bought to go with one other on the side wall of the house. That one is over a year old and no trouble. However, the main feature of this lamp is that the bulb hangs downwards. Motion sensing and PIR bulbs definitely work better in this orientation and the light goes downwards instead of up into the lamp body.

  Good Quality Lantern
  Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 January 2021
  Very attractive light fitting of a high standard. Fairly easy to install but has very little room for error when securing to the wall. There is no float in the fixing holes, so take care marking out!Lantern secured to base plate and lid to lantern by fiddly little nuts; don't drop them! Ideal for E27 LED filament bulb.

  Bright light.
  Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 April 2021
  Very easy to install, replaced an older light so the wiring was already there plus the bolt attachments lined up perfectly with the old back plate lolIf it’s a new install you’ll need a couple of rawl plugs and screws, a masonry bit in a drill probably 8mm will do the job.

  Sturdy lantern but no bulb in parcel
  Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 October 2019
  Nice looking light and seems quite sturdy, I haven't installed it as I have just received it. The delivery was very quick and the lantern was very well packed. The only negative was that it came without a bulb. The lantern was described as Philips my garden Buzzard Vintage Wall Latern, 1 x 60 w 230 v bulb, this was not enclosed in parcel and is a bit misleading. But over all i am pleased with the lantern.

  Smaller than expected
  Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 February 2020
  This light does its job but be warned it’s very small. I do appreciate dimensions are given but we were not prepared for how small it was. I suppose I’m being a little unfair but wished we’d researched more, paid more and bought a sturdier larger light fitting

  Nice style
  Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 September 2018
  Like the look, good porch lantern. Pity a larger version is not available as was originally intending to use this outside a new kitchen/dining room extension with gable roof, but size wise it looks too small mounted higher up.

  Brilliant purchase. Really good quality, sturdy metal body, real glass and includes all water protection and electric wire connectors. Easy to swap over from old original lights.
