Hamtara White Outdoor Solar Lantern

This lantern is designed primarily as decorative ambient lighting rather than functional security lighting. Inspired by the intricate beauty of traditional *papel picado*, the geometric cutouts create a festive, patterned glow that is perfect for adding vibrant energy and atmosphere to a backyard, patio, or garden. Its 12-inch round design makes it a substantial decorative accent that provides a soft, inviting light for evening gatherings.

Yes, this lantern is specifically built for outdoor conditions. Based on our expertise with outdoor lighting, these fixtures are crafted with weather-safe materials—typically treated metal, resin, or high-grade plastic—featuring protective coatings to resist fading and the corrosive effects of humidity. To maximize the lifespan of your lantern in salt-air or high-moisture environments, our care guides recommend occasionally wiping down the exterior with mild soap and water to remove any surface buildup.

To keep your maintenance-free lighting performing at its peak, it is important to keep the solar panel clean. Dust, pollen, or debris can block the sun's rays and reduce charging efficiency. We recommend periodically wiping the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth. In regions with harsh winters or extreme storms, bringing the lantern indoors temporarily can help preserve the battery life and the integrity of the geometric shade.

Not at all. Because this lantern is solar-powered and wireless, it is designed for effortless, "plug-and-play" setup. While some partial assembly may be required to secure the shade or internal frame, you won't need an electrician. This makes it an ideal choice for renters or those looking to quickly refresh a deck or balcony without permanent modifications.

This lantern is perfectly scaled for both large yards and compact balconies. Measuring 12"W x 12"D x 12"H, it provides enough presence to act as a centerpiece on a small bistro table or can be grouped in multiples (available in White, Blue, and Yellow) to define a larger seating zone. Its round, geometric design adds modern style without taking up excessive floor space.

This eco-friendly lantern is completely self-sufficient and requires no wiring or electricity. The integrated solar panel charges the battery during daylight hours. Once the sun sets, the lantern automatically illuminates at dusk. For the best performance and longest run-time, we recommend placing the lantern in a location that receives full, direct sunlight for the majority of the day to ensure a deep charge.
