FAQs
Can this lantern be used outdoors?
The lantern is primarily designed for indoor use. If placed outdoors, ensure it is in a covered, dry area protected from wind and extreme weather.
What type of candle should I use?
You can use standard tea lights, pillar candles, or LED battery-operated candles. Always ensure the candle size allows for adequate clearance from the glass walls.
How do I remove candle wax from the base?
If wax drips onto the base, allow it to harden completely, then gently pry it off with a plastic scraper. Avoid using metal tools to prevent scratching the finish.
Is the colour of the glass permanent?
Yes, the amethyst colour is integrated into the glass and will not fade or peel with normal indoor use.
Can I put this lantern in the dishwasher?
No, the lantern should never be placed in a dishwasher. Hand wash only with gentle care.
Troubleshooting
The glass surface looks dull or cloudy.
Gently wipe the exterior and interior with a soft, damp cloth and a mild glass cleaner, then dry immediately with a lint-free cloth.
Light inside the lantern is flickering or blocked.
Ensure the light source is centered within the lantern base and that the interior glass is clean of wax residue if using traditional candles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your lantern is simple: ensure you place it on a level, heat-resistant surface if using with traditional wax candles. It is compatible with standard tea lights, pillar candles, or battery-operated LED candles. For maintenance, keep the glass clean by wiping it periodically with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove dust and fingerprints. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can dull the vibrant glass finish or leave scratches. If using an open flame, always monitor the lantern and ensure it remains away from flammable materials or high-traffic areas.
