FAQs
Does this lantern come with a candle included?
No, the lantern is sold as a decorative housing and does not include a candle.
Can I use this lantern outside?
It is suitable for sheltered outdoor areas, such as a covered porch, but should be kept out of direct rain or strong wind.
How do I clean the lantern?
Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away dust. For stubborn wax residue, wait until it is fully hardened and gently peel it away.
Is the black finish heat-resistant?
The finish is designed for standard household use, but you should always ensure the candle flame does not touch the sides of the lantern to prevent finish damage.
Can I use LED candles in this lantern?
Yes, battery-operated LED candles are a great, low-maintenance alternative to wax candles and work perfectly within this design.
Troubleshooting
Candle flame flickering excessively
Ensure the lantern is placed away from direct drafts, such as open windows or air conditioning vents.
Soot buildup on the interior glass or metal
Keep the candle wick trimmed to 1/4 inch before lighting to reduce smoke and soot production.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your lantern is straightforward. Ensure it is placed on a flat, heat-resistant surface to maintain balance. When choosing a candle, ensure the diameter is appropriate for the base so that the flame does not come into direct contact with the lantern walls, which could cause overheating. For care, wipe the black finish occasionally with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. If wax spills occur, allow the wax to harden completely before gently scraping it off with a plastic tool to avoid scratching the finish. Never leave an open flame unattended.
