Consider the many benefits that outdoor hanging lanterns offer both the design consultant and the individual creatively minded homeowner. Outdoor hanging lanterns provide a very practical and much needed function by providing outdoor illumination around any structure from which they can be suspended. Outdoor hanging lanterns are also fantastically decorative, and RLLD's online selection offers an expansive range of choices for those decorating from both a traditionally minded perspective and for those who intend to stay abreast of current trends. We also include many fine models that in spite of their commercial grade quality offer an affordable price point for home decorators on a budget, or for those who live in rural areas and smaller houses with only 2 or 3 bedrooms. Traditional outdoor hanging lanterns can function as the primary keynote of an outdoor decorative theme, or they can provide counterbalanced contrast to architectural and landscape lighting designs of a more high-end nature, and they provide a wealth of opportunity in both style and task lighting.
Indeed, style and decorative movement define our selection of outdoor hanging lanterns. In today's world of design, the Arts and Craft/ Mission style is perhaps one of the hottest decorative trends on the marketplace. Outdoor hanging lanterns in this style combine a superb blend of mold, metal, and glass to compliment eclectic bungalows, cottages, and urban lofts alike. Some of our more popular designs include Franklin, Pendant, and Glasgow models available in glass styles ranging from iridescent and off white to antique copper and metal finishes. For those who prefer to decorate in brass, we also have low voltage outdoor hanging lanterns that feature 2000 bulb hour lamp life and unfinished brass fixtures. These are a favorite for landscape lighting designers to use in decorating client flowerbeds or garden areas adjacent to a home or office building. For a more elegant touch over an outdoor dining area, such as the ones found in country clubs and fine hotels, consider a candelabra base pendant design for a refined outdoor touch. For true eclecticism, we offer contemporary outdoor hanging lanterns that feature low voltage wall mounts and progressive styles in fixture design. These are an ideal choice for designers to recommend to young clients living in progressive urban areas, as they combine both a sense of forward motion and a power saving economy that makes them very attractive line items on any bid.
Looking to Residential Landscape Lighting and Design as a one-source supply depot for outdoor lanterns and hanging pendants makes it easy for both contractors and artistically motivated homeowners to find exactly what they need in one conveniently organized selection. For contractors, there is an added benefit available through our vendor contracts with top-name manufacturers, as lighting design clients often request specific fixtures from specific manufacturers and contractors will need access to these companies to win the bid. For homeowners on a budget, we offer both high-end and budgetary options and provide complimentary design suggestions over the phone or through our Ask an Expert e-forum. We are always willing to give advice on which additional fixtures will compliment your selection, and which outdoor hanging lantern accessories will work best with your desired theme.
There are many economic benefits and aesthetic benefits that follow those who choose RLLD as their vendor for outdoor hanging lanterns. Many of our clients have already invested in lanterns they have purchased from retail facilities that promised them a ?bargain? on price, only to later regret their choice due to low lamp life and poor fixture design that does not hold up under certain elements. They also find it something of a nuisance when they only have 120V options available and the lanterns end up staying on longer than planned, thus raising the power bill. RLLD can alleviate this stress with low voltage hanging lanterns alternatives that offer an immediate, tangible savings on energy costs and a long-term savings on replacement costs. Contractors can also economically benefit from having the very best materials and the most attractive designs to offer their clients on a line-item basis, thus giving their proposal more power and more options from the perspective the client.
Outdoor Hanging Candle Lanterns
Candle Lanterns are fast becoming a popular choice of landscape and lightscape designers when they are looking for options to both illuminate and decorate an area. When you are designing your landscape yourself, you will have to answer a number of different questions. The questions of where to put them, what they are made of and where to find them must be addressed when you plan to include candle lanterns in your design.
The most critical part of any landscape design is the placement of the illuminating elements. Considering that each garden and home is unique and candle lanterns come in many shapes and styles, the combinations are limitless. Placing the lanterns on walls to illuminate and showcase at night is an attractive option. Lighting entrances and other areas concealed by darkness is also a good way to improve security in your space. You could light steps and pathways or place them on posts or hang them from tree branches. These are just a few of the options you have for the location of your candle lantern.
But what about the lantern itself, what is it made of? Well, lets take a look at them. The most important part of the candle lantern is the lantern holder. The lantern holders main function is to make sure the candle is supported. Its secondary function is to make sure that the candle is protected from the elements. Most lanterns that you will find, will be constructed of a type of metal. Metal has a higher melting point and will not easily catch fire so it is usually used to provide durability and make the lantern fire-proof. However candle lanterns are not limited to only metallurgical types. Paper lanterns, made with fire retardant paper, are popular choices. Nylon and silk are also used for candle lanterns as well. These are constructed in such a way as to prevent the lantern from catching fire. And if they cannot be, an option to use an LED battery operated fake-candle is also an attractive option.
So where can you pick a candle lantern up? Your hardware or big box store might have a small selection and perhaps you will find the style you are looking for there. However, when compared to the diversity of options on the internet, the selection at the hardware is downright puny.
All of the questions have been answered. There are broad range of options, different construction and design and limitless places to put them. Outdoor candle lanterns are a fun way to spruce up your backyard and you will enjoy them for years to come as you relax in your backyard.
