Minka-Lavery Chateau Grande Outdoor Hanging Lantern

No, this fixture carries a damp safety rating, meaning it is designed for covered porches, patios, or other areas protected from direct water exposure. It should not be installed in locations where it will be hit by rain or snow.

The lantern uses four candelabra base bulbs. Each socket supports up to 60 watts, allowing you to choose between incandescent or LED candelabra bulbs depending on your preferred brightness and color temperature.

While the fixture is crafted from durable aluminum, which offers good resistance to the elements, it is not specifically rated for harsh, salt-air coastal environments. If you live directly on the coast, you may want to consider a fixture with a marine-grade finish to prevent potential corrosion.

Yes, the fixture is designed as a hanging lantern. It includes the necessary hardware to suspend it from your ceiling, though you should verify the height of your porch to ensure the 25-inch fixture provides adequate clearance for foot traffic.

The lantern features glass panels that allow for maximum light output. Because the bulbs are visible through the glass, we recommend using decorative filament-style LED bulbs to complement the transitional design.
