Generation Lighting Sevier Outdoor Wall Lantern
Our Sevier outdoor wall lantern brings timeless coach house character to your front porch, garage, or patio. The rectangular silhouette features clear seeded glass panels that create a warm, textured glow while a weather-resistant powder-coated finish stands up to rain, snow, and coastal salt air.
The Sevier draws inspiration from traditional carriage lights while streamlining proportions for contemporary homes. We chose clear seeded glass rather than smooth panels because the subtle texture softens LED bulbs and creates inviting ambient light on your exterior walls.
Weather-Resistant Construction
Powder-Coated Finish
Our factory applies a multi-stage powder coating that bonds to the metal frame at high temperature. This finish resists chipping, fading, and corrosion far better than traditional spray paint, maintaining its appearance through years of sun exposure and temperature swings.
Wet-Location Rating
The Sevier carries a UL wet-location rating when installed under an overhang or porch roof. The gasket-sealed backplate keeps moisture out of the electrical box, while the open bottom prevents water accumulation inside the glass enclosure. We recommend a minimum 12-inch overhang for optimal weather protection in heavy rain climates.
Installation & Bulb Compatibility
The Sevier mounts to any standard rectangular outdoor electrical box using the included crossbar and screws. The backplate covers boxes up to 4 inches wide, and we provide both machine screws for metal boxes and wood screws for retrofit installations.
Bulb Options
Use any medium-base bulb up to 100 watts incandescent or the LED equivalent. We recommend 800-1000 lumen LED bulbs in 2700K warm white for welcoming entryway light. Filament-style LED bulbs look particularly attractive through the seeded glass, mimicking vintage Edison bulbs without the energy waste. The generous socket clearance accommodates bulbs up to 5 inches tall.

Your Questions About the Sevier Wall Lantern
The Sevier features a rectangular coach house silhouette with clear seeded glass and an open bottom. It’s sized at 15 inches tall, making it ideal for standard residential entryways.
Other models in our collection offer different styles: hexagonal traditional designs, cylindrical farmhouse sconces, or integrated LED options. The Sevier specifically targets homeowners who want classic proportions with user-replaceable bulbs and maximum light output.
The Sevier carries a wet-location rating only when installed under a porch roof, eave, or overhang with at least 12 inches of coverage. The open-bottom design allows rain drainage but isn’t sealed for direct exposure to driving rain.
If you need a fixture for a fully exposed wall, look for models specifically rated for wet locations without qualification. Our customer service team can recommend appropriate alternatives for unprotected installations.
We recommend 800 to 1000 lumen LED bulbs in 2700K warm white for the best balance of brightness and ambiance. That’s roughly equivalent to a 60-75 watt incandescent.
The socket accommodates bulbs up to 5 inches tall and 100 watts maximum. Filament-style LED bulbs create an attractive vintage look through the seeded glass. Avoid cool white bulbs above 3000K, which look harsh in residential outdoor settings.
The fixture extends 7.5 inches from the wall to the front of the glass panels. This provides clearance for most siding profiles including lap siding, board-and-batten, and stucco.
The backplate measures 4.5 inches wide by 9 inches high and mounts flush to the wall surface. If you have unusually thick trim or stone veneer, measure your wall profile before ordering to ensure adequate clearance.
The Sevier is currently offered in Black, Antique Bronze, and Brushed Nickel finishes. Each uses the same durable powder-coated construction.
Black is our most popular choice for modern farmhouse and contemporary homes. Antique Bronze complements traditional and Colonial architecture. Brushed Nickel works well with cooler color palettes and coastal settings.
Each Sevier lantern includes the complete fixture, mounting backplate, universal crossbar, mounting screws for both metal and wood electrical boxes, wire connectors, and detailed installation instructions.
You’ll need to supply your own bulb and standard electrician’s tools: wire strippers, screwdriver, and voltage tester. The fixture arrives fully assembled except for the final wall mounting, which takes about 20 minutes per lantern.
If you’re comfortable working with household electrical wiring and your local code permits homeowner installation, the Sevier is straightforward to mount. The installation follows standard outdoor fixture procedures: turn off power at the breaker, connect matching wires, secure the backplate, and restore power.
If your electrical box is damaged, undersized, or improperly sealed, hire a licensed electrician to bring it up to code first. Proper weatherproof electrical box installation is critical for outdoor fixture safety and longevity.
