Elstead Cotswold Lane Outdoor Wall Lantern

Choosing an exterior wall light that looks as considered as your interior scheme is harder than it sounds. Too many outdoor lanterns lean either too rustic or too contemporary — and the ones with real architectural detail rarely come with the weatherproofing you actually need.

For wall-mounted outdoor fixtures, IP rating is the detail most often overlooked at the specification stage. IP44 means the fitting is protected against solid objects larger than 1mm and water splashing from any direction — suitable for sheltered exterior walls, entranceways, and covered terraces. It does not indicate full submersion protection, but for the vast majority of residential and hospitality exterior applications in Mallorca, IP44 is the right specification.

The Elstead Cotswold Lane Outdoor Wall Lantern answers both the aesthetic and technical brief. Elstead is a long-established UK lighting manufacturer with a reputation for traditional and transitional exterior fittings. The Cotswold Lane collection draws from antique gas lantern design, with formal proportions, a six-sided tapered body, and bevelled clear glass panes — each featuring architectural moulding detail at the top of the pane. The result is a fixture that reads as genuinely considered rather than decoratively approximate.

The lantern body is finished in a uniform matte black across all metal components, with narrow vertical metal ribs following the tapered geometry. A curved shepherd's hook mounting arm connects the lantern to a rectangular wall backplate, keeping the silhouette clean against the wall surface. Decorative finials sit at the top vertex and base of the housing. The bevelled glass refracts light from an internal three-light candelabra-style cluster, adding visual sparkle to the façade after dark.

The Cotswold Lane lantern is IP44 rated and designed for exterior wall mounting via the integrated backplate. The internal light source is a three-lamp candelabra cluster — lamp type and inclusion should be confirmed at point of order. Elstead offers a 3-year warranty on this product.

At Lightsource Mallorca, we work with established manufacturers like Elstead precisely because their fittings are engineered to perform across real project conditions — not just look right on a mood board.
