NUVO Lighting 60-548 Briton, 1-Light, 14in, Post Lantern with Clear Glass

Yes. The Briton 60-548 post lantern carries a Wet location rating, so it can go on an open post exposed to rain, not just under a covered porch or soffit. Wet is the rating you want for a driveway entry post, a walkway bollard post, or a parking-lot island light where nothing shields the fixture.

The Briton is a post-mount lantern only. It fits down over the top of a post and is not built for wall or pier mounting, so if the opening calls for a wall lantern beside a door, this is the wrong body style. The fixture head measures 6 x 6 x 14 inches, so it sits on a standard residential or light commercial lamp post without overhanging.

Line voltage, 120V. It wires to a standard branch circuit, not to a 12V landscape transformer, so do not put it on a low voltage path lighting run. Pull the feed up through the post to the fixture the same way you would for any 120V exterior luminaire.

Dimming depends entirely on the lamp you put in it. There is no driver in the fixture, it is a straight 120V line-voltage socket, so an incandescent or a dimmable LED A19 will dim on a standard dimmer and a non-dimmable LED will not. If you are running these on a photocell or timer instead of a dimmer, any A19 works.

One configuration only: Textured Black metal with clear glass. There is no bronze or white option in the 60-548, so a fleet of these will match each other exactly, which is the point when you are standardizing walkway or entry posts across a community. Clear glass means the lamp filament or LED is visible, so use the same lamp type in every fixture or the row will look uneven at night.

A post lantern like the Briton puts light at roughly waist to chest height out in the open, which is what you want along a driveway apron, a path with no adjacent wall, or a sign post. A wall lantern needs a building face and throws light across it. If there is a wall within a few feet of where the light is needed, a wall lantern is less to install, no post, no trenching. If the light has to stand on its own in a lawn or an island, the post lantern is the only one of the two that works. The Briton is a traditional-style lantern, so it pairs with colonial and traditional building fronts rather than contemporary ones.

2.28 lbs. That is light for a 14 inch lantern head, so a standard aluminum or steel lamp post carries it without any reinforcement, and one person can hold it in place while making up the connections. The body is glass and metal.

Both apply. The Briton post lantern carries a California Proposition 65 warning for lead, which matters if you are shipping to or specifying in California and your procurement paperwork requires the disclosure. It is also RoHS compliant. Institutional and government buyers usually need both facts on file before a purchase order clears.

No. The Briton 60-548 is not a CCT selectable fixture, because it has no integrated LED at all, just an E26 socket. Color temperature is set entirely by the A19 lamp you screw in, so if a facility standard calls for 3000K across the site, buy the lamps to that spec and every fixture matches.
