Westgate ERSH Series: Outdoor E26 Glass Wall Sconces and Post Tops

The ERSH Series is Westgate's decorative outdoor lighting platform, designed for projects that need a single fixture family to cover multiple mounting types and locations without a separate submittal for each configuration. Unlike decorative exterior sconces that ship as stand-alone units with product-specific mounting hardware, the ERSH is built on a common platform across all four models. One ETL wet-location listing, one standard 4-inch junction box mount, the same E26 socket, and clear glass-box housing from the 13.25-inch wall sconce to the 18.5-inch post top. Whether the schedule calls for a fixture at a unit entry door or a freestanding driveway column, the submittal is one document, and the install logic is the same.

For multi-family residential, mixed-use, hospitality, and commercial facade work where the architect specifies a consistent decorative look across multiple fixture positions and mounting types, the ERSH covers the full scope without requiring separate manufacturer submittals or different rough-in procedures per location.

The ERSH Family

All four models are built on the same hardware platform. The housing is durable metal with a corrosion-resistant and heat-resistant powder-coated matte black finish. The lens is made of clear glass panels on every model, which gives the fixture its clean industrial geometry. The socket is a standard E26 medium base, with no proprietary fittings, no LED module, and no integrated driver. If you're sourcing outdoor wall lights and post tops from a single family for a mixed-location job, that shared platform simplifies the submittal and the install.

The electrical connection is direct: 120VAC input, 60 Hz, direct junction box mount. No transformer, no external driver, no control wiring. Each fixture ships with a T10 LED filament lamp installed at 3000K warm white. The ETL listing covers wet locations across all four models, which satisfies the inspector and covers any jurisdiction requiring listed luminaires in exterior wet-location applications per NEC Section 410.10(A).

Key shared specs for your submittal file: power factor greater than 0.90, CRI of 80, and 360-degree omnidirectional beam distribution. That beam pattern is a function of the globe-style filament lamp inside an open glass enclosure. The fixture is not aiming light; it's producing ambient presence. For entry, facade, and pathway applications, that's exactly what the spec calls for.

ERSH Series Model Range and Specifications

The family spans three wall-mount heights and a post-top configuration. The wall mounts step up from 13.25 inches to 18.5 inches to 25 inches. The post top uses the same 18.5-inch glass-box head profile but is configured for a tenon fitter rather than a wall backplate. Verify the wattage and lumen output for each model against the current Westgate spec sheet before submitting; see the note below the table.

The 25-inch wall model delivers 780 lumens at 3000K with the included lamp. The 13.25-inch, 18.5-inch wall, and post top are each rated at 520 lumens. All four ship with a T10 filament lamp installed. Westgate also sells the T10 filament separately in 4W (520 LM) and 6W (780 LM) versions at 2700K, 3000K, and 4000K on an E26 base, which gives the installer CCT flexibility without touching the fixture.

Selecting the Right Size and Mount 

The architect or designer sets the fixture size and mount type in the spec. On new construction, the contractor bids to the spec, confirms the submittal, and installs. On renovation work where the spec is open or where a substitution is being considered, the following selection logic is worth knowing when a conversation comes up.

The three wall-mount heights are not interchangeable. Mounting height and facade scale drive the selection. Here is how each one typically lands in the field.

The 13.25-inch unit works at lower mounting positions, typically 6 to 8 feet above finish floor or grade, on residential entries, flanking a single door, or on smaller commercial storefronts where a larger fixture would overpower the opening. The 18.5-inch wall mount is the most versatile size in the family. It reads correctly at standard 8-foot door height on both residential and light commercial applications without overwhelming the facade. The 25-inch unit is for taller mounting points: grand entry applications, fixtures mounted above 10 feet, or any situation where the fixture needs to carry visual weight across a wider opening or taller facade section.

The post-top model uses the same 18.5-inch head as the mid-size wall mount, so the visual language matches across a project that combines wall fixtures and freestanding post tops. That's a useful detail when the designer is trying to keep the site lighting consistent across entry walls and driveway perimeter columns.

Installation Considerations for Electrical Contractors

The ERSH family series mounts directly to a standard 4-inch junction box. On new construction, that's a straightforward rough-in. On renovation work, the variable is what's in the wall. A 3.5-inch octagon or 3-inch round box will require a plaster ring or a box swap before the fixture goes up. Pull that information from the existing conditions survey early, before the trim crew is scheduled. Finding the wrong-size box at trim costs more time than it should.

The housing is metal, which conducts and dissipates heat normally. The powder-coated finish is listed for corrosion and heat resistance for standard exterior applications. For projects within a few miles of saltwater, raise an IP rating RFI before construction starts. The ETL wet-location listing meets NEC 410.10(A) for damp and wet exterior applications but does not carry an IP65 or IP66 ingress rating, which is a separate classification that some coastal project specs require. That question belongs in the pre-construction RFI, not at the punch list.

Dimming is compatible with standard dimmable E26 LED lamps, but compatibility is not universal. Whether the included T10 filament lamp dims correctly on a given circuit depends on the lamp and dimmer being on the same compatibility list. LED filament lamps generally dim well at the low end, but minimum load requirements at the dimmer can cause flicker or drop-out on circuits with only one or two fixtures. If the spec includes dimming, confirm the lamp SKU and the wall dimmer or panel controller against the current compatibility list before the circuit is finalized.

Where the ERSH Series Gets Used on Real Projects

The ERSH is a decorative fixture, and decorative exterior fixtures land in a predictable range of project types. The following applications cover where this family actually shows up in the field, with context on who is making the decision and what the contractor's exposure is on each.

Multi-family residential and mixed-use: On corridor entry, stairwell, and breezeway exteriors of multi-family residential and mixed-use developments, the architect typically calls out a decorative lantern-style sconce at unit entries and shared entry points. The ERSH series fits this scope with a single submittal across all wall positions. The post-top variant covers freestanding entry columns or driveway perimeter points in the same package, which keeps the submittal clean when both wall and post-top mounts appear in the schedule.

Hospitality: On hotel renovation and restaurant build-out work, the designer or owner picks the fixture. The contractor's concern is lead time and substitution risk. The ERSH carries a submittable ETL listing, which matters when the GC's punch-list window is two weeks out. Restaurant patios qualify as wet locations. The ETL wet-location listing is the check the inspector will want.

Upscale retail storefronts and commercial facades: On tenant improvement work like retail and commercial buildings, the property manager or building owner often directs fixture selection on common area upgrades and facade refreshes. The decision comes down to: does it look right, is it code-compliant, can it be sourced without a six-week wait? The ERSH covers all three.

Residential new construction and luxury renovation: On high-end residential work, decorative sconces appear at every exterior entry point. The ERSH's three wall sizes let the same family cover the front entry, side entry, and garage flanking positions without mixing manufacturers or submittals. For ECs running a consistent residential program, that's a real efficiency.
