Hinkley Beacon Hill Pier Mount Lantern

A pier mount lantern is designed to be installed on top of a flat surface like a pillar, post, or wall cap rather than mounted directly to a vertical wall. This specific model is ideal for illuminating entryways, gate posts, or the corners of a patio wall.

Yes, this fixture is wet-rated, meaning it is fully sealed and constructed to handle direct exposure to rain, snow, and other harsh outdoor elements without compromising its internal components.

This fixture uses a 12-volt system, which is different from standard 120-volt household wiring. Please ensure your outdoor lighting system is compatible with 12-volt LED or incandescent bulbs before installation.

The seeded glass adds a beautiful, vintage texture, but it can collect dust over time. Because the lantern is fully enclosed, you will occasionally need to access the interior to wipe down the glass and remove any debris that may have settled inside.

Yes, the Beacon Hill lantern is dimmable. You can adjust the light output to create a softer, more ambient glow for evening gatherings or keep it brighter for safety and security, provided you use a compatible dimmer switch.

Museum Black offers a clean, uniform matte finish that looks sharp against modern or traditional stone, while Blackened Copper provides a slightly more nuanced, metallic depth that mimics the look of aged, weathered metal.
