Originally made to encase the light of a flickering flame, lanterns were first designed for function, not fashion. Today, they incorporate both. Take this lantern head for example: Crafted from metal, it features a cylindrical silhouette with molded detailing, putting a contemporary twist on a traditional construction. A wavy glass shade diffuses light from any incandescent bulb up to 100W (not included), while a wet location rating makes it perfect for your outdoor ensemble.
