large rustic lantern wall sconce

Large rustic outdoor lantern wall sconces most often combine a metal body (for example steel or aluminum) with a shade or panels made of glass or natural materials like handwoven rattan.

These lanterns commonly use either candelabra (E12) or standard medium (E26) bases. Listed maximum wattages in the sample results range from low-watt LED values (around 9 W) up to about 60 W, with several listings specifying a 40 W maximum for certain fixtures.

Always disconnect power before cleaning. Wipe shades and the fixture body with a soft, dry cloth and avoid harsh chemicals. Follow any manufacturer instructions, and choose designs with open bottoms or easy-access fittings to simplify bulb changes and routine maintenance.

Listings show compatibility with standard incandescent bulbs, LED bulbs (including some fixtures that ship with integrated or included LEDs), and CFLs. Some designs are styled for visible Edison‑style bulbs if you want a vintage appearance.

Many listings note weather‑resistant or water‑resistant construction; a few explicitly use the term “Waterproof,” and at least one specifies a UL listing for wet locations. Not every product includes a formal outdoor rating, so review each listing for its stated protection level.

Most of these fixtures are designed for hardwired installation to a junction box. Some listings note a hardwire conversion kit is available or included for certain models.
