Recommend an outdoor light (we need 3)

[jinkster]

Can anyone recommend an outdoor light? I have searched the internet and found 1 that seems to look ok however at £329 a pop and I need 3 of them in order to match. It has to be traditional, it has to fit the character of the building (Peak District house from 1704 in a little quaint village).

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks.

EDITED: I'm going to put a Hive bulb in the fittings in order to internet control

These are possible options but still a bit expensive.

We have a lot of Jim Lawrence stuff, but thought that their outdoor stuff was too pricey.

We ended up getting several Garden Trading lights -

I bought them from Amazon - was much cheaper than direct.

The only annoying thing is that they expect the wire to feed directly through the wall into the back of the light. Our wiring was fixed onto the wall, so had to make some wooden bases to allow the wire to angle into the lamp base.

I went with a Philips one in the end. Fitted a hue bulb and then a hue sensor.

Budget is a little more than that.

John Lewis site has a good selection.

Chris, have a look at "Coughtrie" swan neck lights, regularly found on eBay. Got a few on our Listed property, and are usually around £50-£100 (cheaper if you can tart them up yourself). They are solid, last forever and also have standard bayonet holders.

Example can be found here:

Lovely house btw, I was in the village when the Well Dressings were on display - there was one just up the side of your house iirc?

In fact, believe it or not I actually took a photo of your house as we're wanting a door just like yours! Small world!

Especially some of the Scandinavian stuff...you have to dig around a bit....

I think you could easily go contemporary there. And that stone would look great washed with some uplighting.

Something like this.

It's a small world, I wanted to buy that house

I'd say go traditional. Those modern up/down tubes don't even light the step you're about to fall over!
