Finish Options

Raw Steel (Uncoated)

A true industrial metal aesthetic. Raw steel naturally develops a unique patina over time, browns, blues, grays, giving each lantern its own character. Customers who prefer to maintain the raw look can apply a clear coat annually to slow patina development.

Premium Painted Finishes

• Black Hammered: Clean, bold, modern. Durable painted surface suitable for indoor or covered outdoor use.
• (Powder-coated options coming soon.)

Lighting Options

Your lantern includes a large, high-quality solar LED light for effortless illumination. For indoor use, customers may replace the solar light with any battery-powered LED puck light, battery-powered LED candle, or similar LED unit if they prefer a different lighting style. Alternate lighting options are not supplied or offered at this time.
