StormLite Black Waterproof Wall Lantern

Some walls get everything the weather has: the seaward side of a house, an exposed gable, a wall at the end of a valley that funnels rain sideways for half the year. The StormLite is built for those positions, with a sealed body, a deep gasket and a black finish that resists the salt and grit that strip a lighter coating within a couple of seasons.

The lantern form is kept simple and squared rather than ornamental, which is both a style decision and a practical one, since fewer mouldings mean fewer places for water to sit and fewer edges for a finish to fail at. Light leaves through the glazing evenly, giving a broad pool across a doorway rather than a narrow beam, so an entrance is properly usable after dark.

It suits porches, exposed entrances, coastal properties and any wall that faces the prevailing weather. Fit it with the gasket seated properly and check it if the fitting is ever removed, since a compromised seal is what lets water into an otherwise sound light. Exterior mains wiring should be installed by a qualified electrician on a protected circuit, and coastal installations benefit from an annual look at the fixings for corrosion. It joins the rest of the Veyra Home outdoor lighting range.
