Gothic Gazebo Lantern Porch Light, Aluminum and Glass Sconce

A cottage, a farmhouse or an old stone house has a character that a stark modern fixture can spoil. The porch light on a house like this should feel as if it belongs to the building: a small lantern with some craft in it, glowing like candlelight rather than a floodlight.

The Gothic Gazebo Lantern Porch Light is a six sided aluminum lantern with pointed gothic arches, clear glass panels, a domed top with a finial and a scrolled arm on a shaped backplate. It is 13.2 inches tall with a 6.1 inch lantern, stands 7.5 inches off the wall and weighs 5.5 lb, and the backplate is 4.1 inches wide and 5.3 inches tall. It comes in black or bronze, with a 9W LED bulb of about 858 lumens in Warm White (3000K), Cool White (6000K) or 3 Color Adjustable (3000K, 4500K and 6000K). It is hardwired on 110V to 240V and rated IP65.

What makes the gazebo lantern stand out

The gothic fretwork gives it character. Pointed arches and fine tracery wrap the glass like church windows, and at night the frame is traced in silhouette against the glowing bulb.

Clear glass keeps the glow honest. The bulb shines straight through, so the lantern looks candlelit up close and throws a warm pool of light onto the door and the steps.

Two finishes suit different houses. Bronze has an aged, antique look that sits naturally on stone, brick and stucco. Black is crisper and stands out on white siding, painted brick and modern farmhouse exteriors.

The light color is flexible. Warm White is cozy and candle like, Cool White is brighter and crisper, and 3 Color Adjustable lets one bulb cover 3000K, 4500K and 6000K.

It is compact. At 13.2 inches tall, it suits cottage doors, side entries and narrow walls where a larger lantern would crowd the space.

Where it looks best, around the house

• Cottage front doors. A pair of small lanterns gives the entrance storybook charm.
• Side and back doors. A single lantern makes a secondary entrance feel cared for.
• Porches. A warm pool of light over the steps and the door.
• Garden walls beside a gate. A lantern marks the way into the garden after dark.
• Sheds and studios. A traditional touch on an outbuilding door.

It suits cottages, farmhouses, Victorian and Tudor homes, stone houses and any older property with traditional detail.

Choosing the finish and placement

There is one size, 13.2 inches tall with a 6.1 inch lantern, standing 7.5 inches off the wall. The measurements are listed in the Dimensions section above.

A few guidelines help:

• Beside a standard door, mount it so the lantern sits roughly at eye level or a little above.
• Use a pair either side of a front door for a formal, balanced look.
• Choose bronze for stone and brick, and black for white or pale siding.
• Plan the wiring with an electrician before the wall is finished.

All required mounting hardware and instructions are included, and each lantern is sold singly.

Layering it with other lighting

A small lantern is the welcome layer. It lights the door and the step, and it looks best with a few other traditional pieces around it. Outdoor lanterns in a similar style suit a garage or back door, so the whole house matches.

Along the path, low path lights lead guests from the gate to the porch.

Keep the light color consistent. If you choose Warm White at the door, use warm white in the garden too, so the scene stays soft and cottage like.

Care is simple. Switch it off and let it cool, then wipe the frame with a soft, dry cloth. For the glass, spray glass cleaner onto the cloth, never onto the fixture, and dry the aluminum fully afterward.

Is the gazebo lantern right for your space?

This light is a strong fit if you:

• Have a cottage, farmhouse or older home with traditional character.
• Want a compact lantern with gothic detail and clear glass.
• Like choosing black or bronze and your own light color.
• Can have a hardwired light installed by an electrician.

It may look too ornate on a minimalist modern facade, and it is too small to hold its own beside a very large or double height entrance.
