Know before you buy
Yes, this fixture is damp-rated, making it safe for use in covered entryways, porches, or patios where it will not be in direct contact with water.
The lantern includes a 6-inch chain, which allows for some height adjustment during installation. If you need a longer drop for a high ceiling, you may need to source additional matching chain separately.
This lantern uses four E12 candelabra base bulbs. We recommend using 5.5W LED equivalents to achieve the proper light output while maintaining energy efficiency.
At 19 pounds, this lantern is substantial but standard for a fixture of this size. We recommend ensuring your ceiling junction box is properly braced to support the weight of the metal frame.
The open cage design is actually quite low-maintenance compared to glass-enclosed lanterns. You can easily reach the bulbs and wipe down the metal frame with a soft, dry cloth to keep it looking its best.
