Lutec CATE 7264210213 garden post light, matt rust, E27, 94.5 cm

Lutec CATE 7264210213 is a garden post light with a single lantern suspended from a curved arm. Its aluminium body has a matt rust finish, while a broad metal cap sits above a clear glass enclosure that leaves the bulb visible.

Choose the bulb as part of the design

The lantern takes one E27 bulb, which must be purchased separately. The manufacturer's maximum permitted bulb power is 40 W. Because the enclosure is transparent, the bulb's shape is part of the appearance even when the light is switched off. A decorative filament bulb can complement the lantern form, but the bulb shown in photographs is not included with the fitting.

Light colour, brightness and energy consumption depend on the source you select. The rust-coloured finish does not determine a warm light colour, and the fitting itself does not provide a fixed lumen output. Check the bulb's specifications against the effect you want beside a garden path or terrace before choosing it.

Plan for the full outline

CATE stands 94.5 cm high and measures 26.5 cm in length by 17.6 cm in width. The curved arm places the glass lantern to one side of the post, so allow for the entire outline rather than just the circular base. This is a low garden post light for the edge of a terrace or alongside a driveway, not a tall lighting column.

The installation manual shows the base fixed to the ground and connection to a 220–240 V supply. As a Class I fitting, it requires an earth connection. IP44 provides protection against splashing water; it does not mean the lantern can be submerged or cleaned with a water jet. Position the post outside walking routes and door swing areas.

A lantern silhouette with industrial details

The bent arm, wide cap and exposed bulb give CATE a retro and vintage character with industrial detailing. The rust tone also suits rustic surroundings, but it is a finish on aluminium rather than a statement that the body is rusty steel. For coastal locations, the manual recommends regular cleaning with a dry cloth without detergents. The fitting carries the manufacturer's five-year operational warranty, subject to its terms.
