This product is hot dipped galvanised (dipped in molten zinc) aftermanufacture to ensure that it is truly weatherproof & will last formany years. The appearance of 'runs' & a roughness in the finish is apart of the process & is an intrinsic part of the product. Part of our robust galvanised steel St Ives exterior lighting range, our Harbour Light was partly inspired by the caged passage lights used on ships the world over, or indeed on harbour walls. With its distinct maritime feel & surfaces galvanised to withstand all weathers, this wall-mounted light particularly suits a seaside setting. However, it will also look great in your back garden – & can be used either in the porch or on a wall, inside or out. The hot-dipped galvanised steel body & oversized glass shade are completely weatherproof, making the St Ives Harbour Light suitable even for coastal locations. The light’s slightly rough finish & appearance of runs are as a result of the hot-dipping process & are an intrinsic part of its look.
