What materials are best for lanterns used outdoors?
Metal and glass lanterns are ideal for outdoor use as they withstand weather changes and protect the flame from wind. Avoid delicate materials like paper or untreated wood for outdoor settings. Look for powder-coated finishes to prevent rust.
Are LED lanterns better than candle lanterns?
LED lanterns are safer and easier to maintain since there is no open flame or dripping wax. Candle lanterns create a more traditional glow and natural ambiance. Choose based on your preference for safety or authentic candlelight.
How do I prevent my lantern from rusting?
Keep lanterns dry and wipe them after outdoor use. Apply a light coat of protective oil or clear lacquer to metal parts if needed. Store them indoors during heavy rain or humidity to maintain their finish.
What are some creative ways to decorate with lanterns?
Group lanterns in different sizes on your balcony or entryway for a layered look. Hang them from hooks or tree branches for outdoor gatherings. You can also place fairy lights inside for a soft, decorative glow.
Can I use lanterns with scented candles?
Yes, lanterns can safely hold scented candles as long as the candle fits well and the flame is not too close to the top. The enclosed space helps diffuse fragrance evenly. Always keep the lantern open slightly to allow airflow.
