Hanging Planter Column Wall Light, Stainless Steel Outdoor Sconce

Outdoor walls often end up with a light on one side and a planter on the other, and neither looks quite finished. Bringing the two together gives a wall a single, purposeful feature: greenery by day and a warm glow by night.

The Hanging Planter Column Wall Light is a slim black stainless steel column with a round LED head at the top and a built in plant pot near the bottom. It comes in two heights, 23.6 and 35.4 inches, and is 7.1 inches wide at the head and pot. Integrated LED beads give 485 lumens of warm 3000K light at 5W. Choose solar, with a round panel on top of the head, or hardwired at 110V to 240V. It is rated IP65 for rain and dust and lights about 54 to 108 square feet.

What makes the planter light stand out

The idea is what makes it. A light that also holds a plant turns a blank wall into a small vertical garden, and the fixture has a reason to be there even in daylight.

The light falls where it matters. The head shines down along the column onto the plant, so leaves and flowers glow at night and cast soft shadows on the wall behind.

The black stainless steel column is slim and modern, with a textured finish that suits contemporary patios, render and timber cladding.

The power choice widens where it can go. The solar version has a round panel on the head and needs no wiring. The hardwired version gives steady light every night.

Two heights let you choose the look. The 23.6 inch size sits neatly beside a door, and the 35.4 inch size draws a long, dramatic line on a taller wall.

Where it looks best, around the house

• Patios. Greenery and light together beside the seating area.
• Beside the front door. A planted welcome that glows at night.
• Garden walls. A vertical garden on a blank wall.
• Balconies. Room for a plant where floor space is tight.
• Courtyards. A row of planter lights brings a small space to life.

It suits modern, Scandinavian and contemporary homes, and looks especially good on white render and timber.

Choosing the size and placement

The two heights are 23.6 and 35.4 inches, both 7.1 inches wide. Think about the plant too: trailing plants look best with room to hang below the pot.

A few guidelines help:

• Choose the shorter size beside a door or on a small wall, and the taller size for a long, dramatic line.
• Pick small trailing plants or compact flowers that suit the pot and the light level.
• For the solar version, mount it where the head gets direct sun during the day.
• For the hardwired version, plan the wiring with an electrician before the wall is finished.

All required mounting hardware and instructions are included.

Layering it with other lighting

A planter light is the garden layer on the wall. Add landscape lighting in the beds below and the planting glows from wall to ground.

Keep the light warm across the garden so leaves and flowers look natural at night.

Care is simple. Switch the hardwired version off and let it cool, wipe the column with a soft, dry cloth and dry it fully, and water the plant gently so the fixture is not soaked. On the solar version, wipe the panel now and then so it charges well.

The fixture also earns its place in daylight. With a trailing plant spilling from the pot, the slim column reads as garden design, and the black finish lets the greenery stand out. Change the planting with the seasons, bright flowers in summer and hardy evergreens in winter, and the same light gives the wall a fresh look through the year while the warm glow brings the planting to life every evening.

Is the planter light right for your space?

This light is a strong fit if you:

• Want light and greenery on one wall.
• Have a patio, balcony or courtyard to dress.
• Need a light for a wall with no wiring.
• Like a slim, modern black finish.

It may not suit someone who wants a bright security light, or a very traditional home that calls for a lantern.
