Astro Box Lantern 350 Textured Black Outdoor Wall Light – 1354004
Create a welcoming entrance with the Astro Box Lantern 350 1354004, a large Textured Black outdoor wall lantern designed to bring classic character to front doors, porches, patios and exterior entrance walls.
Its traditional box-lantern shape is combined with a simple black finish and clear glass panels, making it suitable for period properties, country-style homes, converted barns and modern houses that need a more timeless exterior light.
The tall 350mm design creates a noticeable decorative feature without relying on an overly ornate appearance. It is ideal for customers searching for a large black outdoor wall lantern, traditional porch light, front-door wall lamp or classic garden entrance light.
Classic Black Lantern for Front Doors and Porches
The Textured Black finish works naturally with black front doors, dark window frames, traditional brickwork, stone walls, white render and timber cladding.
Install the Astro Box Lantern beside a front door to create a warm welcome for visitors, or use a matching pair on either side of a larger entrance for a balanced, symmetrical appearance.
It can also be used as decorative exterior lighting for:
- Covered porches
- Residential entrances
- Patio walls
- Courtyard walls
- Garden rooms
- Exterior passageways
- Hotel and restaurant entrances
- Country homes
- Period-property renovations
- Modern homes with traditional detailing
The clear glass allows the chosen lamp to remain visible, making the bulb itself an important part of the overall design. A decorative filament-style E27 LED lamp can enhance the traditional lantern appearance, while a frosted LED bulb can provide softer, less exposed illumination.
Choose Your Preferred E27 LED Bulb
The Astro Box Lantern 350 uses one replaceable E27/ES lamp, giving customers the freedom to choose the brightness, colour temperature and appearance that best suits their property.
The fitting accepts lamps up to 215mm long, making it suitable for a wide selection of standard and elongated E27 LED bulbs. Astro lists a maximum lamp rating of 60W, although an energy-efficient LED lamp will normally be the preferred option for modern exterior lighting.
Popular lamp choices include:
- 2700K warm-white LED for welcoming entrance lighting
- 2200K or 2100K decorative filament lamps for a warmer vintage glow
- 3000K LED lamps for a cleaner modern appearance
- Clear filament bulbs for a traditional lantern effect
- Frosted LED bulbs for softer diffused illumination
- Dimmable E27 lamps for adjustable evening lighting
- Smart E27 bulbs for app or voice-controlled operation
Because the lamp is replaceable, customers can change the brightness or colour temperature later without replacing the complete outdoor wall light.
Dimmable Exterior Wall Lantern
The Box Lantern 350 can be dimmed when fitted with a compatible dimmable E27 LED lamp and connected to a suitable LED dimmer.
This allows brighter illumination to be used when welcoming visitors or accessing the property, while a lower setting can create softer decorative lighting during the evening.
Dimming performance depends on the bulb and dimmer selected, so both products should be checked for compatibility before installation.
IP23 Exterior Wall Light
The Astro Box Lantern 350 has an IP23 rating and is classified by Astro as an exterior wall light.
It should be installed vertically and positioned in accordance with Astro’s instructions. Because IP23 offers less water protection than IP44, IP54 or IP65 products, customers should carefully consider the level of weather exposure at the intended installation position.
The lantern is particularly suited to entrance walls, porches and other exterior locations where its design and IP classification are appropriate. It is not designed for immersion, powerful water jets or highly exposed coastal environments.
Not Suitable for Coastal Properties
Astro states that product code 1354004 should not be installed within five miles, approximately eight kilometres, of the coast.
Salt-laden coastal air can accelerate corrosion and damage standard exterior finishes. Customers living near the sea should choose an Astro fitting specifically identified as coastal suitable.
Large 350mm Outdoor Lantern
The Box Lantern 350 has approximate dimensions of:
- Height: 350mm
- Width: 180mm
- Projection from wall: 245mm
- Gross weight: approximately 4.55kg
The fitting’s generous size makes it suitable for larger entrance walls and properties where a small outdoor light could look out of proportion.
Its 245mm projection should be considered when positioning the lantern beside doors, gates, narrow passages or areas with frequent pedestrian movement. The wall and chosen fixings must also be capable of securely supporting the fitting’s weight.
Clear Glass and Mild-Steel Construction
The lantern is manufactured primarily from mild steel and incorporates clear glass panels.
The clear glass helps preserve the traditional lantern appearance while allowing the selected decorative bulb to remain visible. The Textured Black metalwork creates a strong outline around the glass and complements both traditional and contemporary exterior materials.
