Identifying the Portfolio 0140792
The Portfolio 0140792 is a Lowe's 7-digit item number for an outdoor wall lantern set — the "set" designation indicates it was sold as a multi-piece package (typically a matching pair of wall lanterns or a combination of wall lanterns and a post light). It is a 120V line-voltage fixture hardwired to the home's electrical system, not a low-voltage landscape fixture.
The fixture uses a globe-style glass enclosure — a rounded or cylindrical glass globe that attaches to the fixture body and encloses the bulb socket. Globe-style glass is the most commonly broken component in outdoor lanterns because it protrudes from the fixture body and is vulnerable to physical impact. The 0140792 globe dimensions are not documented in any publicly available source — the sourcing approach therefore relies on measurement rather than model number matching. Use the model number lookup tool and the Portfolio lighting identification guide to confirm which specific fixture this item number corresponds to if you are uncertain.
Key Fixture Characteristics
The 0140792 is a standard 120V outdoor wall lantern with E26 medium-base bulb socket and globe-style glass enclosure. It mounts to a standard exterior junction box. The fixture housing is weather-resistant for outdoor installation. It is sold as a set — if you have matching fixtures from the same original purchase, both units share the same globe dimensions. If one globe has broken, the other unit is the best source of measurements for finding a replacement.
How to Measure for a Replacement Globe
Because no official globe specification exists for the 0140792, finding a compatible replacement requires measuring the existing globe (or the surviving unit in the set). The three critical measurements below are the standard dimensions used by all globe suppliers to classify replacement globes. With these three numbers you can search any lighting supply site for a compatible replacement.
The Three Measurements You Need
- Fitter diameter: The diameter of the globe opening — the neck at the bottom of the globe that fits into the fixture collar or rests on the fixture rim. This is the most critical measurement for compatibility. Common fitter sizes are 2.25 inches, 3.25 inches, and 4 inches. Measure the inside diameter of the globe opening at the base.
- Maximum globe diameter: The widest point of the globe measured across its equator. This determines the visual size and whether the globe fits within the fixture housing without contact.
- Globe height: The total height of the globe from the base opening to the top. Measure from the flat bottom rim to the highest point of the dome or cylinder.
Where to Use These Measurements
With the three measurements recorded, search for replacement globes using these terms: "outdoor lantern replacement globe [fitter diameter] fitter" — for example, "outdoor lantern replacement globe 3.25 fitter" or "G40 globe 4 inch fitter." Lighting supply sites including 1800lighting, Destination Lighting, and Lamps Plus carry large inventories of replacement globes organized by fitter diameter. Amazon also has extensive globe inventories searchable by fitter size. Glass finish (clear, frosted, seeded, hammered) is an aesthetic choice — the fitter size and globe diameter determine physical compatibility.
Globe Retention Method
Before ordering a replacement globe, also identify how the globe attaches to the fixture — this affects what globe styles are compatible. Most outdoor lantern globes are retained by one of three methods: gravity (the globe simply rests in a collar ring and lifts out), spring clips that press against the globe sides, or a threaded ring collar that screws up to capture the globe rim. The retention method is visible by inspecting the inside of the fixture at the globe attachment point when the globe is removed.
Globe Sourcing Strategies for the 0140792
No manufacturer replacement globe exists for the 0140792. These are the practical sourcing paths in order of likely success.
Strategy 1 — Generic Globe by Dimension (Most Successful)
Using the three measurements from the section above, search lighting supply sites for a matching generic replacement globe. Generic replacement globes for outdoor lanterns are widely manufactured and sold in standard fitter sizes — the vast majority of residential outdoor lanterns use globes with standard fitter diameters (2.25, 3.25, or 4 inches), so a compatible generic replacement is available for most Portfolio 0140792 versions. This approach is successful for homeowners who take accurate measurements. The Portfolio replacement glass guide covers the full generic globe sourcing approach.
Strategy 2 — Secondary Market Search
Search eBay for "Portfolio 0140792" and "Portfolio outdoor lantern 0140792 globe" to check for secondary market inventory. Some complete fixture units — including intact globes — appear on eBay from homes being renovated. If an intact unit is available for under $30 to $40, purchasing the complete unit for its globe component is often more economical than custom glass work. The where to buy replacement parts guide covers the secondary market sourcing approach in detail.
Strategy 3 — Custom Glass Fabrication
If the globe style is unusual enough that no generic replacement matches, a local glass repair or art glass shop can fabricate a replacement globe to your dimensions. For a standard round globe shape this is typically a straightforward commission. For lantern glass panels (flat glass in a frame rather than a globe) this is the most viable path when replacement panels are not available. The replacement glass guide covers when custom fabrication makes sense versus when fixture replacement is more economical.
Strategy 4 — Full Fixture Replacement
When a matching globe is not findable and custom fabrication is not practical, replacing both fixtures in the set with a matching current-production pair is the cleanest solution. Replacing the set maintains the visual consistency of the matched fixtures, and current-production outdoor lanterns are available in a wide range of styles compatible with the same junction box mounting. See the replacement fixtures section below.
Other Replacement Parts for the 0140792
Bulb Replacement
The 0140792 uses a standard E26 medium-base bulb. Replace with an outdoor-rated LED bulb at or below the fixture's maximum wattage. Check the label inside the fixture housing for the maximum wattage rating. See the Portfolio bulb replacement guide for LED selection guidance.
Mounting Hardware
Standard exterior fixture mounting hardware in stainless steel is compatible with the 0140792 mounting system. See the mounting hardware guide for specifics.
Photocell (if equipped)
If the 0140792 version you have includes a photocell, standard twist-in photocell sensors are compatible. See the replacement photocell guide. For dusk-to-dawn problems see the how to replace a photocell guide.
Compatible Replacement Fixtures for the 0140792 Set
When replacing the 0140792 set with current-production fixtures, any 120V outdoor wall lantern with standard junction box mounting and a compatible style is appropriate. Since the 0140792 was a matched set, both fixtures should be replaced simultaneously to maintain visual consistency — purchasing individual replacement units separately risks style or finish variations between production runs.
Current-production outdoor wall lanterns at Lowe's under the Portfolio brand and under competing brands (Hampton Bay at Home Depot, Kichler, Progress Lighting) offer globe-style lanterns in multiple finishes and sizes compatible with standard exterior junction boxes. See the Portfolio wall lanterns guide, the Hampton Bay guide, and the Portfolio lighting alternatives guide for current replacement options.
Portfolio 0140792 FAQ
What globe does the Portfolio 0140792 use?
The globe dimensions for the 0140792 are not officially documented. Measure the existing globe: fitter diameter (the base opening), maximum diameter, and total height. Use these three measurements to find a compatible generic replacement globe from lighting supply sites. The fitter diameter is the critical measurement — common sizes are 2.25, 3.25, and 4 inches.
Where can I buy a replacement globe for the Portfolio 0140792?
Manufacturer replacement globes are not available through Portfolio or Lowe's. Best options: measure the existing globe and search for a matching generic globe by fitter size on lighting supply sites; search eBay for secondary market units; or contact a local glass shop for custom fabrication. The replacement glass guide covers all sourcing paths.
The 0140792 was sold as a set — do both fixtures use the same globe?
Yes — matched set fixtures always use identical globes. If one globe has broken, use the surviving intact globe from the matching fixture to take your measurements. This is the most accurate measurement source since the two units share identical globe specifications.
Is it better to replace the globe or replace the whole fixture?
If the fixture housing is in good condition and the globe is the only failed component, sourcing a replacement globe is almost always more economical. If the globe is not findable after exhausting the sourcing strategies above, or if the fixture housing is also damaged, replacing the full set is the practical path. See the discontinued Portfolio lighting guide for the full repair vs replace framework.
