Know before you buy
Yes, the Nouvelle is wet-rated, meaning it is specifically designed to withstand direct exposure to rain, snow, and other harsh outdoor elements.
The fixture requires one dimmable bulb, which is not included. Because the glass panels are clear, we recommend choosing a decorative filament-style LED bulb to maintain the lantern's aesthetic appeal.
The fixture is crafted from solid brass, a highly durable material known for its resistance to corrosion. Over time, the Blackened Brass finish may develop a natural patina, which adds character to the piece while maintaining its structural integrity.
The backplate measures 7.5 inches in height and 5 inches in width. Ensure your mounting surface can accommodate these dimensions before installation.
Yes, the fixture is compatible with dimmable bulbs. Using a dimmer switch allows you to adjust the light output to create a warmer, more inviting ambiance for your entryway or patio.
