Cosmo 18 is a glowing column that gives an entry soft, even light.
The Design Story
Cosmo replaces the lantern with a single vertical diffuser.
The light spreads evenly onto the wall around it.
Why You'll Love It
It is simple and luminous, without visible bulbs or glare.
Made for Real Life
There are no bulbs to change: the LED is built in. Give it a rinse with mild soapy water now and then to keep the finish fresh. Pair it with an LED-compatible ELV or 0-10V dimmer for evening light.

Questions We Hear Most
What is the idea behind the Cosmo 18?
Visual Comfort designed it so that it is a glowing column that gives an entry soft, even light. It belongs to Visual Comfort's Cosmo family, which comes in several sizes and versions.
Which Cosmo 18 finish suits my exterior?
Our take: bronze is rich and moody.
Will the Cosmo 18 light up my front entry?
Easily: about 1,994 lumens lights a door, steps and house numbers.
Which doors and walls suit the Cosmo 18?
At 19.2″ it suits side doors, garages and porches, or a front door with one on each side.
Can the Cosmo 18 handle storms and sprinklers?
Yes. It is wet listed (IP65), so it can live fully in the open, rain or shine.
What does surge protection add to the Cosmo 18?
An extra device that shields the LED driver from power spikes, whether from storms or the grid. An in-line fuse version is also available for commercial circuits.
How is the Cosmo 18 installed outside?
It is hardwired to an outdoor-rated junction box by an electrician.
How soon can the Cosmo 18 arrive?
