01 / The feeling
Simplicity That Speaks Volumes
Simplicity speaks volumes in outdoor design, and this elegant glass panel post lantern proves it beautifully. The clean-lined black frame creates striking architectural interest on garden posts, entrances, or patio walls, whilst the clear glass panels allow light to radiate warmly in every direction. It's the sort of thoughtful detail that transforms an ordinary outdoor space into somewhere genuinely inviting—perfect for those summer evenings that stretch late into the night.
Built to withstand the elements with its IP44 weatherproof rating, this lantern combines robust aluminium construction with quality glass panels for lasting durability. The E27 fitting accommodates bulbs up to 60W, giving you flexibility to choose your preferred brightness and tone. At 290mm tall with a 200mm square footprint, it makes a confident statement without overwhelming smaller spaces.

Good to know
A few questions,
before it comes home.
Does the Sem Glass Panel Post Lantern require an electrician to install?
Yes, this is a hardwired Class I outdoor light fitting, so it must be installed by a qualified electrician in compliance with UK Building Regulations Part P. The lantern comes with all necessary mounting hardware, and whilst it's rated as having easy installation difficulty, mains electrical work legally requires professional certification. Your electrician will need to connect it to your existing outdoor lighting circuit or spur.
What IP rating does this post lantern have and is it suitable for exposed outdoor locations?
This lantern has an IP44 rating, which means it's protected against solid objects over 1mm and water splashing from any direction. It's suitable for most outdoor locations including garden posts, driveways, and patios, but should ideally have some overhead shelter in very exposed positions. IP44 is the standard rating for general outdoor lighting in the UK where the fitting isn't directly subjected to heavy rain or water jets.
What type of bulb does the Sem post lantern use and can it be dimmed?
The lantern uses a single E27 ES (Edison Screw) bulb with a maximum wattage of 60W, and it is dimmable when fitted with a compatible dimmable LED or halogen bulb. You'll need to ensure your lighting circuit has a dimmer switch installed if you want dimming functionality. E27 LED bulbs are widely available in various colour temperatures and lumens outputs to suit your preference.
What are the exact dimensions of this post lantern?
The Sem Glass Panel Post Lantern measures 200mm wide, 200mm deep, and 290mm tall, giving it a compact square profile that sits neatly on standard post caps. At just under 30cm in height, it provides accent lighting without being overly prominent, making it ideal for gate posts, wall piers, or deck posts.
Can this post lantern be used on a timber decking post or does it need a brick pillar?
This is a surface-mounted lantern that can be fitted to any stable surface including timber posts, brick pillars, or rendered walls, provided the surface can support the weight and the mounting hardware can be securely fixed. The included hardware is suitable for most installations, though your electrician may recommend specific fixings for timber posts to ensure weather-tight cable entry and structural security.
Does this outdoor lantern come with a bulb included or do I need to buy one separately?
The lantern does not include a bulb, so you'll need to purchase an E27 bulb separately with a maximum rating of 60W. For best energy efficiency and longevity outdoors, we recommend a dimmable LED bulb rated at 6-10W (equivalent to 40-60W traditional), which will give you several years of maintenance-free operation compared to halogen alternatives.
