Short Guide to Ceiling Lanterns

Choosing the right ceiling lantern enhances your home’s ambiance and functionality. Here’s a quick guide:

Space Availability: Small lanterns with 1–3 lights suit compact hallways; larger ones with 4–6 lights and over fit grand foyers or stairwells.

Finish Options: Choose polished brass for traditional homes, or polished chrome and nickel for modern spaces.

Lighting Type: LED bulbs save energy; dimmable options add flexibility.

Installation Needs: Verify if your property requires Class II double-insulated fittings for safety in homes without an earth loop.

Design Impact: Lanterns create a focal point, ideal for welcoming entrances or stylish dining areas.

Ceiling Height: Use chain lanterns for high ceilings; flush mounts for low ceilings to avoid obstruction.

Lighting Needs: Opt for multi-bulb lanterns for brighter illumination in larger spaces.

Installation: Ensure secure fixings; heavier lanterns require joist support. Professional installation is recommended.
