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 opal PMMA diffuser is UV-stabilized against yellowing, spreads a soft, even glow with no hard point, and is closed at the bottom to keep the weather out, with a recess for the supply cable. 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-stabilized 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.
Soft, even opal light — one-piece UV-stable opal PMMA diffuser spreads the beam and resists yellowing, with no hard point to glare.
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.
