Mirage

Yes, the Mirage is a hardwired outdoor fitting and installation must comply with Building Regulations Part P, which requires electrical work outside to be carried out or certified by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer rates this as a moderate difficulty installation, typically involving a concrete base or paving mount and mains supply connection. Always isolate the mains supply before any electrical work is undertaken.

This fitting requires a single E27 (Edison Screw) bulb with a maximum wattage of 60W, but no bulb is included with the lantern. You can use LED, halogen, or traditional incandescent E27 bulbs up to the stated wattage limit. For best energy efficiency and longevity outdoors, we recommend an LED E27 bulb in a warm white colour temperature.

Yes, the Mirage is dimmable when fitted with a compatible dimmable bulb and a trailing edge dimmer switch. You'll need to ensure both your E27 bulb and your dimmer are compatible with each other—LED bulbs in particular require specific trailing edge dimmers to avoid flickering. Standard rotary or push dimmers will not work reliably with most LED lamps.

The fitting has an IP44 rating, which protects against splashing water from any direction, making it suitable for most UK gardens, driveways, and pathways. However, IP44 is not rated for high-pressure water jets or full submersion, so avoid installing in areas prone to flooding or directly in the path of heavy water runoff. The operating temperature range of -20°C to 40°C covers typical UK outdoor conditions year-round.

The Mirage stands 199.5cm tall (just under 2 metres) with a width and depth of 17cm each, giving it a slender profile that won't obstruct pathways or vehicle access. This height is ideal for flanking driveways, gates, or garden entrances where you want a statement piece that provides adequate illumination without overwhelming smaller front gardens. You'll need a suitable paving slab, concrete base, or hard surface for stable mounting.

This lantern post light comes with a 2-year manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty requires installation by a qualified electrician in accordance with UK wiring regulations and does not cover damage from improper installation, accidental damage, or normal wear to the finish. Proof of purchase and professional installation certification may be required for warranty claims.
