The Brinley small is a Mediterranean-style exterior wall lantern in cast aluminium a scrolled arm carrying caged glass panels, finished in flat black. It is a decorative,traditional fitting rather than a minimal one, and it is sized to be seen.

Larger than most wall lanterns

Even the small is 520mm high and 210mm wide, projecting290mm from the wall. That projection matters: check it against a doorway, a pathor anywhere someone walks close to the wall. If it feels too big, there is no smaller Brinley this is the small one.

Cast aluminium, not steel

Cast aluminium does not rust. It can be scratched through to bare metal, but it will not bleed ruststains down a rendered wall the way a ferrous fitting eventually does. That makes it a sound choice fora coastal or high-rainfall site where a painted steel lantern would eventually mark the wall beneathit.

Clear and frosted seedy glass

The caged panels are seedy glass deliberately imperfect, with fine bubbles in clearand frosted. The globe is partly visible, so a warm filament-style lamp suits it and a cold white onelooks wrong behind the texture.

Where it works

• Mediterranean, Tuscan and traditional frontages where a minimal fitting would jar.
• Wide entries and porches with the wall area to carry 520mm.
• Garden walls and piers, mounted where the 290mm projection is clear of paths.
• Coastal sites, where cast aluminium will not rust-stain the wall.
