Product Information
Full details
The Sona Large Hurricane Lantern is designed for homeowners seeking a sophisticated, versatile centrepiece that transitions seamlessly from everyday decor to seasonal celebrations. Its primary benefit is the combination of a tall, clear cylindrical glass body for maximum light diffusion with a functional removable lid for ease of use. While its generous size makes it an ideal focal point, potential buyers should note that the glass requires regular cleaning to maintain its clarity and the lantern's height demands a stable surface for safe display.

FAQs
Is the lantern suitable for outdoor use?
The lantern is designed primarily for indoor use to protect the finish and maintain the integrity of the glass.
Can I use LED candles instead of wax candles?
Yes, LED pillar candles are an excellent, safe alternative that prevents soot buildup and heat concerns.
What is the maximum candle height recommended?
It is recommended to use candles at least two inches shorter than the glass cylinder to ensure proper airflow and prevent overheating.
Is the glass removable for cleaning?
The glass is a fixed component of the lantern structure, but the removable lid provides sufficient access for cleaning the interior.
How do I remove candle wax spills from the base?
Allow the wax to harden completely, then gently pry it off with a plastic scraper to avoid damaging the finish.
Does the lantern come with a candle included?
No, the lantern is supplied as a decorative housing unit; candles must be purchased separately.
Troubleshooting
Glass looks cloudy or has streak marks
Wipe the interior and exterior of the glass with a mixture of vinegar and water or a standard glass cleaner using a microfiber cloth.
Candle flame is flickering excessively
Ensure the lantern is placed away from direct drafts, such as open windows, air conditioning vents, or high-traffic walkways.
Soot buildup inside the glass
Ensure the candle wick is kept trimmed to roughly 6mm before lighting, which prevents the flame from reaching the glass walls.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your lantern remains in pristine condition, place it on a level, heat-resistant surface away from curtains or flammable materials. When using candles, always ensure the wick is trimmed to prevent excessive soot buildup on the glass interior.
Care Instructions
- Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free cloth and mild glass cleaner to wipe the glass panels. Avoid abrasive scouring pads that may scratch the surface.
- Metal Maintenance: Gently dust the metal accents with a dry cloth. If spills occur, wipe immediately with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly to prevent finish degradation.
- Storage: If storing the item, wrap the glass body in bubble wrap or soft tissue paper to prevent breakage.
