The Fumagalli Sicar/Dario is the hanging version of the Dario lantern — the same 240 mm square resin body, suspended on a chain from a ceiling mount with a 730 mm overall drop, so it lights a porch, pergola or veranda from above instead of standing on a post. In this version the decorative pinnacle moves to the lantern base, so the fitting still reads as a finished lantern from below. The one-piece clear PMMA diffuser is UV-stabilised against yellowing and closed at the bottom to keep the weather out, with a recess for the supply cable — and because it is clear, the E27 lamp you fit stays on show instead of sitting behind an opal diffuser. The E27 holder takes CFL or LED lamps up to 160 mm on 100–240 V — so you choose warm, neutral or CCT light, and replace the lamp later without changing the fitting. The roof and cage are shockproof, UV-stabilised resin, rust- and corrosion-free; IP55 and Class II double insulation let the same lantern work indoors and out. It is part of a modular family that also mounts post top and on a wall. Made in Italy by Fumagalli.
Key benefits
Hangs where a post cannot go — a chain and ceiling mount drop the lantern 730 mm into a porch, pergola or veranda, with no base to build.
Finished from below — the decorative pinnacle moves to the lantern base in the hanging version, so the underside is part of the design, not a bare fixing.
Clear diffuser, lamp on show — one-piece UV-stable clear PMMA, treated against yellowing, so the E27 lamp you choose becomes part of the look instead of sitting behind opal.
E27 means your lamp — takes CFL or LED up to 160 mm on 100–240 V; pick warm, neutral or CCT now and swap the lamp later without a new fitting.
IP55 + Class II, indoors and out — sealed against dust and water jets and double-insulated, so it suits porches, arcades and garden rooms alike.
One body, three mountings — the same Dario lantern also mounts post top and on a wall, so a whole scheme can stay visually consistent.
Applications
Porches and entrance canopies, pergolas and gazebos, verandas and covered terraces, arcades and covered walkways, garden rooms, and hospitality exteriors — indoors and outdoors.
