Our lantern range now features over 50 different designs and styles of replacement head, available in finishes ranging from antique brass to polished copper. All lanterns will be supplied with a bayonet bulb holder ready for wiring, with Edison bulb holders also available upon request.
What makes our Lanterns so special?
Each lantern features a specially designed reflective panel, which not only channels light evenly downwards it also ensure that the lantern is extremely efficient.
Each lantern is supplied with perspex panels instead of glass. Perspex is a much stronger more durable alternative to glass whilst still offering identical levels of transparency.
All products should be installed, tested and certified by a qualified electrician, your tradesperson may make product adaptations where required.

Can these lantern be used with reclaimed cast iron lamp posts?
Yes our lanterns are designed to be used with original cast iron posts, please just check the diameter of the lamp post collar to ensure the frog bracket diametre is wide enough to slide over the post. If you are having difficulty with this or would like to discuss your specific needs, please feel free to let us know.
What happens if I cannot remove my lamp posts frog bracket?
Occasionally we find that frog brackets have almost welded themselves to the lamp posts over time and it's neither practical or possible to actually remove them. There are several routes forward such as attaching a replacement lantern to an existing frog bracket or by making a custom plate which enables the frog bracket to be connected to the lantern base. If your circumstances are a little more intricate please feel free to discuss details over the telephone.
