Horatio Oval Bulkhead Light IP64 - Green

Description

DescriptionThe Horatio is an oval bulkhead light in the old ship's style, with a solid brass body finished in a green. A sturdy cage, finished in the same green, runs across the front, and behind it sits clear ribbed glass that diffuses the light and softens the look of the lamp inside. It is 25cm long, 16cm wide and 16.5cm high, and weighs 1.7KG, so it feels as substantial as it looks. Its IP64 rating settles the question most buyers ask first: it is dust-tight and protected against splashing water, so it can live outdoors through British weather.
It suits a front door, a porch, a garden wall or the side of a boathouse, anywhere a plain wall needs a light with some character. The green finish sits comfortably against brick, render and timber cladding, and it looks especially at home on a coastal cottage. The maker describes the Horatio as taking its influence from traditional maritime lighting, and says that maritime influence shows in the range's

materials, designs and names. The maker also says these bulkheads were designed for outdoor spots where a nautical or industrial effect is wanted, so it sits as happily on a converted barn or a workshop as on a harbour wall.
The body is solid brass, a metal long chosen at sea for its resistance to salt air. The cable comes in through a gland at the end or the rear, and a brass blank is included to close off whichever entry point you leave unused. The maker says individual parts can be replaced if needed, which keeps the light in service rather than heading for the skip. As a mains light, it should be installed by a qualified electrician. It takes one E27 (ES) screw lamp of up to 18W, and the lamp is not included, so have a suitable one ready before fitting day.
