Quintiesse Nantucket medium outdoor wall lantern aged brass IP44 E27 34.2 cm QN-NANTUCKET-M-AS

The medium Quintiesse Nantucket wall lantern, code QN-NANTUCKET-M-AS, is an exterior fitting in aged brass with clear seedy glass. The producer lists it as a one-light wall lantern.

How much wall it needs

Height is 342 mm, width 136 mm and projection 143 mm. The height is not adjustable. Beside a door or on a facade, compare 34.2 cm of height, 13.6 cm of width and 14.3 cm of projection with the clear wall, rather than assuming a standard entrance width. The carton is 20 × 20 × 40.5 cm. Quintiesse separates a product weight of 1.65 kg from a box weight of 2.14 kg.

E27, and no lamp in the box

There is no integrated LED. The socket is E27, the maximum load is 60 W, and the supply is 220–240 V, 50 Hz, mains. The Quintiesse specification states that the lamp is not included, so a claim that the bulb arrives in the box is wrong. The fitting is compatible with a dimmable lamp. A dimmer is not listed among the supplied parts, so dimming depends on the installation and on the lamp you fit.

Colour temperature follows that lamp, not a switch on the lantern. The single E27 socket lights the cage through seedy glass panels, not as an open spotlight.

IP44, for an exterior wall

The rating is IP44. Quintiesse gives the location as exterior and says the lantern can be used on exterior walls. IP44 is splash protection. It is not a submersion rating and it does not make this a post light. At 34.2 cm tall it is a wall lantern, not a fixture over 180 cm.

The body is solid brass with an aged-brass finish, and the shade is clear seedy glass in a divided frame. The stated guarantee is a 5-year anti-corrosion guarantee, not a general five-year warranty on every function. On the Quintiesse page the specification brand field reads Hinkley, while the family and shop name are Quintiesse Nantucket.

A classic vintage lantern

Quintiesse describes the family as a New England classic with vintage nautical character and retro appeal. The photograph shows a caged lantern, a roof with a ball finial, and aged-brass patina, including darker metal and green traces at the edges. That is the visible Aged Brass finish, not a separate colourway.
