Elstead Tournai Outdoor Wall Light

The Elstead Tournai Outdoor Wall Light is a traditional, carriage-style exterior lantern that brings classical, Old World character to doors, porches and façades. Its ornate profile and decorative detailing make it a considered architectural accent as well as a practical exterior light.

Formally composed, the Tournai pairs a tall, rectangular backplate with an exaggerated S-shaped scroll arm supporting a tapered, multi-pane lantern. The crown-like rim, fluted elements and finial details emphasise the fixture's classical intent and create a strong silhouette on an exterior wall.

Construction is predominantly metal for the frame, arm and backplate, with faceted glass panels set within the metal framing. The finish reads as an aged bronze with warmer highlights on raised edges, a choice that emphasises relief and an antique character while resisting visual wear.

The textured, mottled glass panels diffuse light to reduce glare and produce a softer ambient glow suitable for entrances, approach paths and porch areas. The downward-hanging lantern and outward-reaching scroll arm position the source away from the wall to improve spread of illumination while the enclosed body helps protect the bulb from the elements.

Designed to be hardwired to an exterior wall via the vertical backplate, the Tournai carries an IP44 rating for protection against splashing water. The head is sized to accommodate a single vertically mounted bulb inside the lantern; model-specific details and any supplied lamp should be checked at point of order. Warranty terms vary between 2 and 20 years depending on the model.

At Lighting Design Online we recommend the Tournai when you want an exterior fitting that is both decorative and purposeful. Its sculptural arm and faceted glass offer architectural presence while the IP44-rated enclosure makes it suitable for typical external locations. We provide considered specification guidance and project-friendly support so the finished result feels right, technically and visually.
