The Pedral EX23 is a 230mm traditional coach lantern in black or bronze withtextured glass one E27 globe to 25W, not supplied,IP44, projecting 280mm.

It stands 280 millimetres off the wall. Plan for thatfirst. That is far deeper than most the Farnix reaches 254mm, theCosca 170, the Mazal 75. (The Ramiro EX25 coach lantern is deeper still at350mm, if you want more reach.)

Nearly 30 centimetres of reach is the point of a coach lantern: it holds the lightout over a doorway or a path rather than flat against the wall, which is how the typehas always worked. But it also means:

• Beside a front door, check it clears the door swing and thearchitrave.
• Along a path or a passage, it is something you can walk into inthe dark. Mount it above head height, or use the 180mm version.
• On a narrow entry, it will dominate. Measure before you order.

At 3.5kg on a 280mm reach, the fixing also takes realleverage, not just dead weight. Tell your electrician both figures.

The larger of two but not the brighter

All four Pedrals take the same single E27 globe to 25W.The 230mm gives no more light than the 180mm the lantern simplygrows. Choose the large one because 230mm is the proportion the entry needs, notfor output. If you want more light, use two lanterns or abrighter globe, not a bigger body.

Textured glass and the globe you choose still shows

The glass is textured, which sits between the two extremes in this catalogue: itis not clear like the Provo, where the globe is fully exposed, andnot opal like the Gorem, where it is completely hidden. Textured glassbreaks up and scatters the source, so you see asoftened, distorted shape of the globe rather than a sharp filament.

That means the globe still matters, and no source said a word aboutit. One E27 to 25W, not supplied:

• A decorative LED filament a globe or ST64 shape is what a coachlantern is designed around. Behind textured glass it reads as awarm glowing core, which is exactly right.
• A bare white capsule gives a hard bright blob you can see through the texture.
• Use an LED rated for ENCLOSED fittings. This is a sealed lantern, andheat with nowhere to go is what kills LED globes many are rated for openfittings only, and it is printed on the box.
• Warm 2700K. A coach lantern in cool white looks like a security light.

Ask us and we will match one.

The globe is replaceable, which most exterior fittings here are not

Nearly every outdoor light in this range has a sealed integrated LED: when thediode fails, the fitting is finished. The Pedral takes a standard E27, soyou choose the output and colour, and you can replace it in ten years on a traditional lantern meant to sit beside a door for decades, that matters.

It also dims, with the right globe. Our record saysNo; the datasheet and our own page both sayglobe dependent, and they are right. On a lantern with avisible warm core, dimming is the best thing you can do for how it looks afterdark.

IP44 and our page gets this right, sayingOutdoor (Covered Area). IP44 is splashing water from anydirection, not driving rain or jets: under a porch, a verandah or a deep eave yes; a fully exposed or coastal wall no. For those, ask us about theWalsh (IP65, solid brass or 316 stainless).

Where it works

• Beside front doors under cover where 280mm of reach is the point.
• Traditional, heritage and cottage facades.
• Paired with Pedral pendants under a porch ceiling.
• 280mm out and 3.5kg check the door swing, and the leverage on the fixing.
• Not brighter than the 180mm the same single globe.

Questions

How far does it stick out?

280mm far deeper than most, where the Farnix reaches 254mm and the Cosca 170. The Ramiro EX25 is deeper still at 350mm. That reach is the point of a coach lantern, holding the light out over a doorway rather than flat against the wall, but check it clears the door swing and architrave, and do not put it at head height along a path.

Is it brighter than the 180mm?

No all four Pedrals take the same single E27 to 25W. The lantern grows; the light does not. Choose the large one because 230mm is the proportion the entry needs, and if you want more light use two lanterns or a brighter globe.

What globe should I buy?

A decorative LED filament globe or ST64 shape rated for enclosed fittings, in warm 2700K. The textured glass softens and distorts the source rather than hiding it, so a bare white capsule shows as a hard bright blob. Enclosed-rating matters because this is a sealed lantern and heat with nowhere to go kills LED globes.

Can I dim it?

Yes, with a dimmable globe. Our record says No; the datasheet and our page both say globe dependent, and they are right. On a lantern with a visible warm core it is the best thing you can do for how it looks after dark.

Can it go on an exposed wall?

No IP44 is splashing water from any direction, not driving rain or jets. Under a porch, verandah or deep eave, yes. Our page has this right, saying Outdoor (Covered Area). For exposed or coastal positions ask us about the Walsh at IP65.

What fixing does it need?

A substantial one. 3.5kg on a 280mm reach puts real leverage on the fixing, not just dead weight tell your electrician both figures.

Will it cover the marks from my old fitting?

Possibly not the backplate is 140mm on a 230mm fitting. Measure what is on the wall first.
