Frequently Asked Questions
What is the CCR8408CU Two Light Outdoor Lantern made of?
▾
The CCR8408CU lantern features a metal housing finished in a copper-tone coating, sealed to keep out moisture. Its clear glass panels protect the bulbs while allowing light to pass. The construction meets typical outdoor durability standards, ensuring resistance to rain and UV exposure.
Does the lantern include bulbs?
▾
The lantern does not come with bulbs; it is sold as a fixture only. This allows you to choose LED or incandescent bulbs that match your desired brightness and energy efficiency. Standard E26 sockets are used, so compatible bulbs are readily available at most hardware stores.
How is it installed?
▾
Installation requires a standard 120-V junction box and basic tools such as a drill and screwdriver. Mount the lantern using the provided brackets, securing it to a wall or post. Connect the wiring according to local electrical codes, then seal the housing. Most DIYers can complete the job in under an hour.
Is it suitable for coastal environments?
▾
The lantern’s weather-proof housing offers good protection against rain, but for highly saline coastal air, additional corrosion-resistant measures such as a clear sealant may be advisable. The copper-tone finish can develop a patina over time, which many owners find aesthetically pleasing.
Can it be painted to match other colors?
▾
Yes, the lantern can be painted, but only with a heat-stable, exterior-grade paint that does not obscure the glass panels. Apply a thin, even coat to the metal surface after cleaning, and allow it to cure fully before installing bulbs. Painting can help match specific color schemes while preserving functionality.
