About 88240EN3-780 One Light Outdoor Wall Lantern
What is 88240EN3-780 One Light Outdoor Wall Lantern?
The 88240EN3-780 One Light Outdoor Wall Lantern is part of Starlight Lighting’s heritage collection, designed to evoke the elegance of classic garden lighting while meeting modern durability standards. Its leaf-embellished backplate and finial arms are cast in a burled-iron finish that resists rust and retains a refined, dark-metal patina. The lantern houses a single bulb behind etched hammered glass with a light amber tint, delivering a soft, inviting glow that mimics historic oil-lamp illumination.
Installation is straightforward for most residential exterior walls. The fixture comes with pre-drilled mounting holes, a stainless-steel bracket, and clear instructions that allow a DIY homeowner with basic tools to secure the lantern at the desired height. The design accommodates both incandescent bulbs and ENERGY STAR-qualified LED modules, making it easy to upgrade to more efficient lighting without altering the aesthetic.
Because the glass panel is tempered and the metal finish is powder-coated, the lantern tolerates typical outdoor exposure, including rain, snow, and UV radiation. The amber-tinted glass filters harsh daylight while preserving the lantern’s warm character at night, making it suitable for both evening ambience and low-level security illumination.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of bulb does the 88240EN3-780 use?
▾
The lantern is designed for a single standard medium-base (E26) socket, accepting 60-watt incandescent bulbs or compatible LED modules that meet ENERGY STAR criteria. The amber-tinted glass works well with both, but LED replacements provide longer life and lower energy consumption while preserving the warm glow.
Does the 88240EN3-780 require professional wiring?
▾
Installation typically involves mounting the bracket, connecting the fixture to an existing outdoor-rated junction box, and securing the lantern. Most homeowners with basic electrical knowledge can complete the task using a screwdriver and wire nuts, but local codes may require a licensed electrician for new wiring or upgrades.
How does the amber glass affect illumination?
▾
The etched hammered glass is tinted amber, which filters harsh blue light and softens the output to a golden hue. This creates a cozy, inviting atmosphere at night while still providing enough illumination for safety. The tint also reduces glare during daytime, making the lantern less visually intrusive.
Is the finish suitable for coastal environments?
▾
The burled-iron finish is powder-coated to resist rust and corrosion, making it more durable than plain metal. However, in highly saline coastal air, periodic cleaning and a protective wax coating are recommended to extend longevity and maintain the dark-metal appearance.
Can the lantern be painted to match a different color scheme?
▾
While the metal housing can be repainted with a suitable outdoor-grade enamel, doing so will cover the original leaf ornamentation and alter the intended historic look. If color matching is essential, consider a lantern offered in the desired finish rather than modifying this model.
