Description
The Gloster Ambient Nest is a hanging outdoor lantern that wraps a woven all‑weather wicker “nest” around a colour‑matched powder‑coated stainless‑steel frame and solar / mains rechargeable LED light unit, creating a warm pool of light above dining or lounge areas.
Key Features
- Woven all‑weather wicker: Hand‑woven polyethylene wicker in Fawn or Steel over a powder‑coated stainless‑steel frame, designed to be left outside all year round.
- Solar & mains rechargeable LED: Integrated LED light unit can be charged from mains power or via the top solar panel for cable‑free use.
- Remote‑controlled brightness: Radio‑frequency remote control with 8 light output settings and a working distance of up to 35 m, so you can adjust the mood from your seat.
- Warm, diffuse light: 18 LEDs at 2700 K produce a warm white glow (approx. 100–180 lumens) that filters through the woven shade for a decorative light effect.
- Long battery life: Lithium‑ion battery delivers around 8 hours of light on the maximum setting from a full charge.
- Outdoor‑ready construction: IP64‑rated LED unit, colour‑matched stainless‑steel frame and 2.5 m hanging wire supplied as standard.

Woven Material & Frame
All‑Weather Wicker
The Ambient Nest shade is woven from high‑quality polyethylene (PE) wicker. This material is supple yet strong, tear‑resistant, UV‑stable and fully weather‑resistant.
The coloured wicker is through‑dyed during extrusion so the colour runs all the way through each strand, making it colourfast, hard‑wearing and easy to clean. It is resistant to chlorine, salt water, tanning lotions and oils.
Gloster uses a slightly thicker, textured wicker that is harder to weave but more resistant to tension, tearing and splitting, while giving a more natural appearance.
Stainless‑Steel Structure
The internal structure of Ambient Nest is a fully welded stainless‑steel frame, electro‑statically powder‑coated to match the chosen wicker colour before weaving. Once the wicker is applied, the frame is largely hidden but remains fully protected against corrosion.
The lantern is supplied with a 2.5 m hanging wire for flexible installation over dining tables, coffee tables or seating groups.
Cleaning, Care & Repair
Everyday Cleaning
Clean woven parts with a solution of 1:16 mild detergent to lukewarm water (below 40 °C). Thoroughly soak the wicker with the solution and gently agitate with a soft bristle brush to remove ingrained dirt.
Rinse off all cleaning solution with cold water. A pressure hose on a low setting can be used on wicker, but avoid any teak components as high pressure can erode timber surfaces. Wipe any splashes from metal parts to prevent water marks.
It is important to remove all traces of foam; residues trapped between the weave can attract dirt over time.
Minor Repairs
Light scratch marks or abrasion on the edge of a fibre can often be corrected by briefly and carefully warming the area (for example with a lighter flame held near the surface) and then rubbing along the fibre with stiff cardboard to smooth it. Always practise first on a hidden section, such as the underside of the shade.
If fibres are cut or broken, a skilled weaver can remove the damaged section and integrate a new length of wicker into the pattern so the repair is barely visible.
