Know before you buy
Because each lantern is individually handcrafted by Stan Bitters, there will be subtle variations in the texture and finish. These unique characteristics are intentional and mean your specific piece will be one-of-a-kind.
No, this is a plug-in fixture, so it does not require hardwiring into your ceiling. It comes ready to hang with a 71-inch cable, making it a versatile choice for renters or those looking for a simple installation.
The lantern includes a 40W E26 G30 transparent glass incandescent bulb, which provides a warm, ambient glow. Because the shade is made of solid ceramic, the light is primarily directed downward, making it ideal for task lighting over a table or as a sculptural accent.
Maintenance is straightforward. Simply wipe the ceramic surface with a dry, soft cloth to remove any dust. Avoid using water or harsh chemical cleaners, as they may affect the finish.
No, this fixture is designed strictly for indoor use only. Exposure to outdoor elements, moisture, and temperature fluctuations could damage the ceramic material and the electrical components.
The lantern comes with a 71-inch cable. While it is designed to hang at a fixed length, you can adjust the drop height during installation by securing the cable to your desired length within the canopy system.
