It accommodates two Candelabra Bulbs 60 watts maximum, but may be made with single medium base bulb lit from top. The Dark Antique Brass is not lacquered so will darken and weather to a beautiful natural patina!

IMPORTANT NOTE: All Onion Lanterns come apart with thumb screws for ease in cleaning and replacement of light bulb.

The origins of the Onion lanterns date back to the whaling ships and fishing vessels of years gone by. The name “onion lantern” came about because of the shape of the glass.

The onion glass is a hand-blown globe, and casts a lot of light all around! Very popular in seaside areas…especially on Cape Cod! Folks in different parts of the country are now using them both inside and outside on many home styles because of the amount of light they show, as well as the uniqueness of this lantern.

The onion lights are commonly used outdoors near one’s front door, side doors, decks, porch areas, as well as inside in bedrooms, hallways, bathrooms, etc.

Mounting Height: 17” from center of the J-Box to top of the lantern.

Dear folks at Cape Cod Lanterns,

We received the screw fasteners in the mail and wish to thank you very much for your thoughtfulness and generosity in sending them. Our outdoor lights have been most necessary during these dark days of winter and we have received many compliments on the beautiful pattern they create. I can now firmly secure the outdoor light by one of our entrance ways, thanks to your sending the little packet of screws.
