The Right Lantern Light for your Mood

Think lanterns are only good for power outages? Think again. Lanterns have come a long way since the time of Dickens. In fact, lanterns have now become a staple in the exterior decorating and camping world.

Below we have listed some of the most popular lantern light options and the right type to choose for you mood preference.

For the Romantic Evening

Try a candle lantern for a special evening with your loved one. A candle lantern emits the same romantic atmosphere as a traditional candle but with the ease of a lantern. You don’t have to worry about the light flickering out from the wind. Grab a bottle of wine and watch the stars with only the flickering of the candle lantern to keep you company. There’s nothing more romantic.

To Make your House/RV a Home

Lantern light can be a great decoration tip for your outdoor area. Ground lanterns, which are inserted in grass, are great for lighting up your outdoor garden at night. Hanging lanterns, which can be hung anywhere there is a hook, a light up any setting or pathway and table lanterns act as the perfect centre piece for your next outdoor activity.

All three of these lanterns can be placed around the house or outside of your RV to give it a more ‘homey’ feel. Many people prefer to use hanging lanterns when they have parked for the evening and are enjoying a few drinks outside the RV. They provide the right light and atmosphere for any occasion.

For All Terrain Hiking

If you are planning on packing up your bag, your tent and your gear and hitting the trails, then you are going to need some light along the way. A battery operated lantern is the best choice for this. They run on batteries instead of power or propane so you don’t have to carry anything else. Try to find a rechargeable LED light lantern which is the most energy efficient and best for long adventures. Propane fuelled lanterns may also work but you will need to bring a propane tank along on the adventure which can be a little space consuming.
