    Ribbed glass turns one warm bulb into soft vertical lines of light beside a front door, a gate pillar or a covered porch.

  • Sized for a doorway

    At 35 cm (13.8 in) tall and 20 cm (7.9 in) wide, it suits a door or pillar: use one beside the door, or a pair to frame it.

  • Goes with any facade

    The textured dark bronze reads near-black at dusk and brown-bronze by day, and sits easily with brick, stone, render and timber.

About This Light

Kado, the Japanese word for a gate or a corner, is a traditional square lantern made for the places you arrive: a covered porch, a front door, a gate pillar. Behind ribbed glass panels a single warm bulb turns into soft vertical lines of light, framed by a pitched cap and a flared base in a textured dark bronze.

At 13.8 in tall it is sized for a doorway or a pillar rather than a grand facade: use one beside a door, or a pair to frame it. The finish reads near-black at dusk and brown-bronze in daylight, and sits easily with brick, stone, render and timber.

  • Size: 35 cm (13.8 in) tall and 20 cm (7.9 in) wide, projecting 15 cm (5.9 in) from the wall
  • Materials: aluminum and iron body in a textured dark bronze finish (not cast or solid brass), with ribbed glass panels
  • Bulb: one E27 socket (standard US E26 bulbs generally fit); bulb not included. A warm filament-style bulb gives the glow shown
  • Weather: rated IP54 by the maker, which means splash-resistant; best on a covered porch, entry or sheltered wall rather than fully exposed
  • Voltage: 110–240V AC, suitable for standard US 120V wiring
  • Mounting: hardwired to an outdoor wall junction box, on a rectangular back plate

Installation and care: Have a qualified electrician fit it to an outdoor-rated junction box. Wipe the glass and frame with a damp cloth now and then, and avoid abrasive cleaners on the finish.

01

Made for the way in

Mounted beside a front door, Kado lights the step and the handle with a calm, warm glow. Its traditional square shape, pitched cap and flared base give a modern or timber house a quiet sense of arrival.

Ribbed glass in a dark bronze frame

Four ribbed glass panels sit in an aluminum and iron frame with a textured dark bronze finish (not cast or solid brass). The ribs soften the bulb into lines of light, so it glows without glare.

03

Easy under a porch roof

Rated IP54 by the maker, it is splash-resistant, so it is happiest on a covered porch, entry or sheltered wall. Once an electrician has fitted it to an outdoor-rated junction box, care is a damp cloth on the glass and frame now and then.
