Frequently Asked Questions
What is the IP rating of the lantern?
▾
The lantern carries an IP65 rating, meaning it is fully protected against dust ingress and can withstand water jets from any direction, making it suitable for rain, snow, and occasional splashing. The sealed enclosure also resists UV degradation, ensuring the finish remains intact for years even in sunny climates.
Does it support LED bulbs?
▾
Yes, the two E26 sockets accept LED bulbs up to 60 W each, allowing you to achieve bright illumination while consuming far less electricity than traditional incandescent lamps. Using LEDs also reduces heat output, extending the lifespan of the glass lenses and the internal wiring.
How is it installed?
▾
Installation involves mounting the pre-drilled brackets to a solid surface such as brick, stone, or wood, then connecting the wiring to a dedicated outdoor circuit protected by a GFCI breaker. The included stainless-steel screws and wiring harness simplify the process, but a qualified electrician should verify code compliance for permanent outdoor fixtures.
Is it covered by a warranty?
▾
Starlight Lighting offers a limited one-year warranty covering manufacturing defects in materials or workmanship. The warranty does not extend to damage caused by improper installation, accidental breakage, or misuse. Keep the original receipt and contact the retailer within the warranty period to initiate a claim.
Can it be painted to match house color?
▾
While the steel housing is powder-coated for durability, you can apply a high-temperature exterior paint if you wish to customize the finish. Ensure the surface is clean and lightly sanded, and use a paint formulated for metal to maintain corrosion resistance. Painting may void the warranty, so check with the seller first.
