This set of 2 outdoor wall lanterns offers a practical lighting solution for your home's exterior. The design features a smooth matte black finish that resists rust and fading, paired with a clear glass shade that allows light to shine through without obstruction. This combination works well with many home styles, from modern and minimalist to rustic farmhouse or traditional colonial. Each lantern is constructed from rust-proof aluminum alloy, a material chosen for its ability to handle outdoor conditions. It stands up to rain, snow, humidity, intense sunlight, and freezing temperatures without corroding, cracking, or showing signs of wear. The finish helps protect the metal from scratches and UV damage. Inside, each fixture uses a standard E26 socket that accepts bulbs up to 60 watts. This socket works with a variety of bulb types, including LED, CFL, incandescent, halogen, and vintage Edison bulbs. For most users, an LED bulb is a good option because it provides bright light while using less electricity and lasting longer than traditional bulbs. The open-bottom design of the lantern makes maintenance easy. You can change a bulb or clean the inside of the glass without any tools, simply by reaching up from underneath. This feature saves time and effort, especially for fixtures mounted high on a wall. Installing each lantern is straightforward.
