01 / The feeling
A Warm Welcome Home
Inspired by traditional lantern design, the Corvus combines classic hexagonal styling with a contemporary brushed black and silver finish. Its frosted glass diffuser casts a welcoming glow across your porch or outdoor entrance, creating that perfect first impression for guests whilst guiding you home on darker evenings. The geometric silhouette adds architectural interest to any exterior space, blending effortlessly with both period properties and modern homes.
Crafted from solid cast aluminium with a durable powder-coated finish, this ceiling-mounted lantern is built to withstand the British weather. The IP54 rating provides reliable protection against dust and water splashes, whilst the generous 5-year anti-corrosion guarantee (excluding coastal areas) offers peace of mind. Measuring 27cm in diameter and 13cm in height, it accommodates one ES bulb up to 60 watts – compatible with energy-saving LED options to keep running costs down.

Good to know
A few questions,
before it comes home.
Does the Corvus hexagonal lantern require a qualified electrician to install?
Yes, this is a hardwired ceiling-mounted outdoor fitting that must be installed by a qualified electrician in compliance with Part P Building Regulations. The lantern mounts to a standard BESA box or ceiling outlet, and whilst installation difficulty is rated as easy for a professional, mains electrical work is not suitable for DIY. All necessary mounting hardware is included with the fitting.
Is this lantern suitable for exposed outdoor locations and what does IP54 mean?
The Corvus carries an IP54 rating, which means it's protected against dust ingress and splashing water from any direction, making it suitable for covered porches, canopies, and recessed entrance areas. It's not fully weatherproof against driving rain or direct water jets, so it should be installed in a sheltered position rather than fully exposed locations. The fitting operates reliably in temperatures from -10°C to 40°C.
What type of bulb does this outdoor lantern take and is one included?
This fitting takes a standard E27 Edison Screw (ES) bulb up to 60W maximum, but no bulb is included with the lantern. You can use LED, halogen, or traditional incandescent E27 bulbs depending on your preference for energy efficiency and light output. For best results outdoors, we recommend a warm white LED (2700K-3000K) which will complement the frosted glass diffuser.
Can I use this lantern with a dimmer switch?
Yes, the Corvus is dimmable, but the actual dimming performance depends entirely on the bulb you choose. You'll need to fit a dimmable E27 bulb and ensure your dimmer switch is compatible with that specific bulb type—LED bulbs in particular require LED-compatible dimmer switches to avoid flickering or buzzing.
What are the exact dimensions of this hexagonal lantern?
The Corvus measures 270mm in diameter across the widest points of the hexagon and 130mm in height, making it a relatively low-profile ceiling lantern that won't hang down excessively. These compact proportions make it ideal for standard porch ceilings or entrance canopies where headroom may be limited.
What warranty coverage comes with this outdoor lantern?
This fitting is covered by a 5-year manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty covers the aluminium body, glass panels, and electrical components, provided the lantern has been installed correctly by a qualified electrician and used within the specified operating temperature range of -10°C to 40°C.
