Create Ambiance With Our Outdoor Hanging Lanterns

The right outdoor hanging lantern can replace bright floodlights in your outside living area. In addition to providing functional practicality, outdoor hanging lights are beneficial to the curb appeal of your home. Although an ancient creation, these lighting fixtures have never gone out of style. This is just the reason why you will still find outdoor hanging lantern light fixtures in many homes and business establishments. Even with the vast outside modern and contemporary lighting fixtures and designs now available, many homes and businesses opt for hanging lanterns because of their classic look and trusted use. Outdoor hanging lantern lights mount easily on your porch and create a beautiful atmosphere that will make your visitors feel welcome.

We Provide the Most Versatile Outside Hanging Lights

We have traditional-style lanterns, transitional, Williamsburg, craftsman-mission, nautical, industrial, modern and contemporary. In addition to the styles, we offer many different finish colors that you can match to your outdoor décor and landscaping. Consider bronze tones, pewter-gunmetal, rust, green, black, copper, white, clear, and crystal finishes. Be thoughtful in where you plan to place your lantern to achieve the best effect. Most people install outdoor hanging lanterns on their porches, patios, or decks. However, some use them for indoor lighting in foyers and entryways. There is no limit to the places you can display a high-quality outdoor hanging lantern.

Selecting the Best Outdoor Hanging Lantern Style for Your Home

When choosing your outdoor hanging lantern, you'll want to consider three factors: size, style, and placement. The right size will provide the best lighting effects. 1800Lighting has many sizes available, from large outdoor hanging lanterns that hold six lights to small to one-light hanging lanterns. It is important to note that a lantern that is too large for any given space may be too bright. So, instead of appreciating its beauty, you will only get distracted by its brightness.

The lantern's style should match the design of your home. It should also enhance your home's aesthetic value, not look out of place. 1800Lighting has dozens of lantern styles to consider that will easily coincide with your home's outdoor elevation and style.

Wherever you hang your patio and outdoor hanging lantern, we are confident it will look amazing. 1800Lighting is proud to carry the best brands in outdoor hanging lanterns: Capital Lighting Fixture Company, Northeast Lantern, Kichler Lighting, Craftmade, Crystorama, Hinkley Lighting, ELK Lighting, Arroyo Craftsman, Arteriors Home, Artcraft, and many more.

Types of Hanging Lanterns to Consider for Outdoor Areas

At Capitol Lighting and 1800Lighting, we have fluorescent hanging lanterns, halogen bulb lanterns, incandescent lanterns, and LED light hanging lanterns. Hanging lamps don't necessarily have to replace other lighting. Lanterns can be coordinated with other outdoor lighting fixtures, such as ceiling pendants, post lamps, and wall sconces. You also mix and match lanterns with these other fixtures to give your exterior a truly finished look.

When selecting the type of lantern you want, consider the style of your home. If you have a modern exterior, you will want to match that theme. On the other hand, if it will be hanging over a wooden porch, you might want to stick to more traditional-looking lanterns. Make certain that whatever you choose it's rated for outdoor usage. Exterior lanterns must perform well in inclement weather.

Because you may want to move it to another location in the future, try not to install your outdoor hanging lantern from the ceiling too tightly: it will also be easier to remove it if it needs cleaning or replacement. Use a hook instead of nails to easily take down the lantern, if necessary. When installing your hanging lantern, it's important to consider every detail, including the lantern's glare. If it is too bright, you may want to use a different bulb. Alternatively, if your lantern is too dim, you can opt for a bulb with higher wattage, or you can consider adding more lights.
