NUVO Lighting 62-821 Essex 6.5in, Wall Lantern, Sterling Black Finish

Yes. The Essex 62-821 carries a Wet location rating and is built for outdoor use, so it can go on an unprotected wall, an open entry, or a soffit that takes blowing rain. Safety listing is cETLus. The housing is die-cast aluminum with etched glass.

The LED is integrated, so there is no socket and no lamp to buy or replace. It draws 11W and puts out 850 lumens at 80 CRI. When the LED reaches end of life the fixture is replaced, not relamped, which is the trade-off against a socketed lantern on a property you plan to service lamp by lamp.

No. The Essex 62-821 is not ADA compliant, and with 7.75 inches of projection it sticks out past the 4 inch limit that applies to protruding objects in an accessible route between 27 and 80 inches above the floor. For a covered breezeway or corridor at a multi-family or institutional property, use an ADA-rated sconce instead. Over an entry door or on an open exterior wall outside the travel path it is not an issue.

It is dimmable on a 120V circuit, so it can run off an exterior dimmer or a dimming timer. Color temperature is fixed, however, this is not a CCT selectable fixture, so if you are standardizing a property on one color across mixed fixtures you cannot field-adjust this one.

One finish only: Sterling Black. Every 62-821 ships the same way, so ordering repeat quantities for a row of units or a second phase gets you a consistent look across the building. Style is traditional, with etched glass over a die-cast aluminum body.

850 lumens at 11W is in the range of a typical 60W incandescent lantern, which is normal for a single entry door, a patio door, or a side service door. Etched glass diffuses the output, so it reads as soft wash rather than a hard pool, and 80 CRI is adequate for exterior identification. For a wider driveway or parking area, use a higher-output or multi-fixture layout.

It is a wall-mount lantern, intended for a vertical surface over a standard outdoor junction box. It is not a ceiling or soffit-mount fixture and should not be substituted for a flush soffit light. The 4.39 lb weight is light enough that no supplementary bracing is needed on a normal wall box.

The Essex 62-821 is RoHS compliant and carries a California Prop 65 disclosure for lead. Safety listing is cETLus, which covers both US and Canadian installations. Those are the three lines procurement normally wants on an exterior lighting submittal.
