The Truman EX2 is a 395mm two-light exterior wall lantern in white aluminiumand glass, IP44, projecting only 120mm.

We are not publishing a globe base. The datasheet saysE14, our record says E27 and the old page managed to printboth, in two different lines. They are different globes and they do not interchange.Ask us before buying globes and we will confirm against the fitting.

Up and down, from a shallow body

Two lights in a 120mm projection shallow enough for a walkway, anentry or a garage wall where a deeper lantern would be clipped by a car door or a shoulder. The pairthrows one column up the wall and one down, which is the outdoor look most people areactually after: architectural, not floodlit.

IP44 a covered outdoor fitting

Precisely: protected against splashing water from any direction. Its own datasheetsays Outdoor (Covered), and that is the honest reading. An eave, a porch, a covered walkway,a patio yes. A wall with no shelter, in weather that drives sideways specify somethinghigher and ask us.

IP44 does not mean dust protected. The 4 refers to solidobjects over 1mm. Dust protection starts at IP5x.

Aluminium, which is the right metal outdoors

It does not rust. On a coastal or high-rainfall site that is worth more than any finish steellanterns bleed at the fixings long before the paint fails.

Two globes to 25W each

50W total, not supplied. Dimming is whatever the globes will do. Buy both fromone batch on an up-and-down fitting a colour mismatch between the two columns is obvious.

Where it works

• Entries and porches, in a pair either side.
• Covered walkways and garage walls.
• Patios and alfresco areas under cover.
• Not fully exposed walls ask us.

Questions

What globes does it take?

We are not publishing a base. The datasheet says E14, our record says E27, and the old page printed both. They do not interchange ask us and we will confirm against the fitting.

Can it go on an exposed wall?

Its datasheet says “Outdoor (Covered)”, and IP44 is splash protection. An eave, porch or covered walkway is fine; a fully exposed wall in driving rain is not ask us for something higher.

Does IP44 keep dust out?

No. The 4 refers to solid objects over 1mm; dust protection starts at IP5x.

How far does it stick out?

120mm shallow enough for a walkway or garage wall where a deeper lantern would be clipped.

What wattage can I fit?

25W per globe, 50W across the two.

Will it rust?

No. It is aluminium, which is why it suits coastal and high-rainfall sites where steel lanterns bleed at the fixings.

Is there a single-light version?

Yes, and it comes in black as well as white.
