Visual Comfort Darlana Medium Bracket Lantern

The Visual Comfort Darlana Medium Bracket Lantern by Chapman & Myers is a mid-century inspired wall lantern from the Darlana range. The lantern’s tapered, four-sided rectangular form and bronze finish reference classic street lighting while remaining deliberately restrained for modern entrances and sheltered exterior walls.

Its design balances minimalist linear metalwork with traditional candelabra detailing. The lantern is offered as a bracket-mounted fixture that hangs from a horizontal arm and hook; the suspended form creates a strong silhouette and visual depth at eye level.

Constructed with a dark bronze metal frame, the fixture uses clear glass panels on each side and at the pyramidal top to reveal an internal four-light candelabra cluster with off-white, candle-style sleeves. The geometric loop at the top and the tapering glass box give the lantern an architectural character.

The Darlana delivers warm ambient light rather than focused task illumination, the exposed glass and candelabra cluster contributing to an open, balanced atmosphere suitable for entryways, hallways and sheltered outdoor locations. The design intentionally shows its internal lamping to provide clarity and a traditional candle-like expression.

Installation is via a vertical rectangular backplate and a horizontal support arm with an adjustable hook, allowing the lantern to be installed vertically or horizontally while keeping the fitting stable. The lantern is rated to IP22 for sheltered external use; refer to project documentation for lamp type, mounting specifics and dimming compatibility.
