Product Highlights
2-Pack – Ready for Symmetrical Installation
This listing includes two identical wall lanterns — the standard pairing for symmetrical placement on either side of a front door, garage entrance, or gated entryway. Purchasing as a matched set ensures consistent finish, output, and color temperature across both fixtures without needing to source a second unit separately.
Automatic Dusk-to-Dawn Sensor
Each lantern includes a built-in photosensor that detects ambient light levels and automatically activates the LED at dusk and deactivates it at dawn. Once installed and powered, the lanterns operate independently every night without any manual input, timer programming, or smart home integration required.
Integrated LED – 1300 Lumens, 3000K Warm White
The integrated LED delivers 1300 lumens — a substantial output for an exterior wall lantern, sufficient to illuminate a front door zone, porch area, or garage entrance clearly. The 3000K color temperature sits in the warm white range, producing a soft, amber-toned glow that reads as inviting and residential rather than the cooler, more clinical light of higher color temperatures. The LED is integrated into the fixture and is not a replaceable bulb.
Water-Ripple Glass Shade
The decorative water-ripple glass panels on the lantern shade create a textured light diffusion pattern that softens the LED output and adds visual interest to the fixture during both day and night. The ripple texture obscures direct view of the LED source, reducing glare and creating a more atmospheric lighting effect.
Optional Manual Control – Removable Rubber Cap
The dusk-to-dawn sensor includes a removable rubber cap. When the cap is removed, the sensor is exposed and the automatic dusk-to-dawn function is active. When the cap is replaced, it covers and disables the sensor, allowing the lantern to be controlled via a standard wall switch instead. This gives you the flexibility to choose between fully automatic or manually switched operation.
Modern Farmhouse Design – Black Metal Finish
The painted black metal frame and traditional lantern silhouette give these fixtures a modern farmhouse aesthetic that works across a broad range of exterior styles — from contemporary and transitional to craftsman and traditional. The black finish is versatile enough to pair with dark, white, grey, and natural wood exterior color schemes.
16-Inch Profile – Strong Visual Presence
At 6 in. L x 2.7 in. W x 16 in. H and 8.38 lbs. per fixture, these are substantial wall lanterns — large enough to make a clear design statement on an exterior wall without being oversized for standard residential entryways and porches.
Hardwired AC Installation
These lanterns are designed for permanent hardwired wall mounting on a 110V AC circuit. Hardwired installation provides a cleaner finished appearance than plug-in alternatives and ensures consistent power delivery for reliable dusk-to-dawn operation.

Ideal For

- Garage facades, porch columns, and exterior walls where 1300-lumen output provides meaningful illumination
- Homeowners who want automatic dusk-to-dawn lighting without a smart home system or separate timer

- Anyone upgrading existing porch or entryway lighting to a larger, more impactful fixture with integrated LED
Important Information
- This is a hardwired 110V AC fixture. Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician and connected to an existing outdoor electrical box.
- The LED is integrated into the fixture and is not a replaceable bulb. If the LED fails outside the warranty period, the fixture would need to be replaced.
- The dusk-to-dawn sensor requires unobstructed exposure to ambient light to function correctly. Avoid installing the sensor side of the fixture where it is permanently shaded, as this may cause the light to remain on continuously.
- The removable rubber cap disables the dusk-to-dawn sensor and allows manual wall-switch control. Ensure the cap is firmly seated if you prefer sensor-based automatic operation.
- This listing does not specify an IP or waterproof rating beyond general weather resistance. Suitable for covered and semi-covered outdoor locations (porches, overhangs). For fully exposed installation in heavy rain environments, confirm suitability before purchasing.
- Each fixture weighs 8.38 lbs. Ensure your wall mounting surface and electrical box are rated to support this weight.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this listing include one or two lanterns?
This listing includes two lanterns sold as a matched set — ideal for symmetrical placement on either side of a front door, garage, or entryway. Both fixtures are identical in finish, output, and color temperature.
How does the dusk-to-dawn sensor work?
A built-in photosensor detects ambient light levels and automatically turns the LED on at dusk and off at dawn. Once powered, the lanterns operate automatically every night without manual input. For manual switch control instead, remove the rubber cap from the sensor to disable automatic mode and use a standard wall switch.
Can I use a wall switch instead of the automatic sensor?
Yes. The dusk-to-dawn sensor includes a removable rubber cap. When the rubber cap is placed over the sensor, it disables the automatic function and allows the lantern to be controlled via a standard wall switch. Remove the cap to restore automatic dusk-to-dawn operation.
Is the LED bulb replaceable?
No. The LED is integrated into the fixture and is not a user-replaceable bulb. Integrated LEDs typically have a long rated lifespan, but if the LED fails outside the warranty period, the fixture would need to be replaced rather than relamped.
Does this fixture require an electrician to install?
Yes. The M781 is a hardwired 110V AC wall fixture that must be connected to an existing outdoor electrical box. Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure safe and code-compliant wiring.
How bright are these lanterns?
Each lantern delivers 1300 lumens at 3000K warm white — a substantial output for a porch or entryway fixture that provides clear, inviting illumination of the area directly around the front door, garage entrance, or porch without harsh glare.
What exterior styles do these lanterns suit?
The painted black metal finish and lantern silhouette complement modern farmhouse, craftsman, transitional, and traditional architectural exteriors. The black finish pairs well with white, grey, navy, dark green, and natural wood exterior color schemes.
These 16-inch black farmhouse lanterns offer a compelling combination of substantial lumen output, automatic dusk-to-dawn operation, and a timeless exterior profile — in a matched 2-pack that eliminates the hassle of sourcing a coordinated pair.
