Seasons Old Lantern

I was in desperate need of a cool looking lantern to finish the props for our recent haunted house. We set up a cemetery with a grave digger to walk the groups through and he absolutely needed a lantern. The looks of this device were perfect for what I wanted. It takes a few batteries in the bottom and has a durable base and battery compartment cover. The only thing I wasn't real happy with was the light bulb. I didn't expect this to actually put off any light (not useful light anyway), but the tiny bulb didn't serve my needs. (((I actually used one of those battery operated tea lights that flicker like a real flame to give the lantern a live flame appearance. I removed the bulb that came in it, and fastened the flickering light in its place with 3-m double stick tape))) All in all, this was a good purchase of a sturdy product that arrived in a timely manner (I live in England and mail comes via military postal system so sometimes can be very slow). I recommend this lantern if you are considering one as a display or prop.

This was a great product, worked well and helped create the setting we wanted. We will use them for a number of occasions

Very nice product. The fake rust on the lantern looks very rustic and realistic. The light inside turns out to be an LED and it's smaller than I expected, but it still produces an adequate amount of light.

I scored these things for really cheap, like 6 or 7 bucks each. I bought a couple. These are great halloween props. They look very authentic. The LED bulb is repetitively bright. It would be better if it was a little more yellow in color and flickered like a candle, but I can't complain for the price or the overall appearance.

Many of the bad reviews are from people expecting a quality lantern for actual everyday use. This is a HALLOWEEN PROP. That's it. The tag is even a Halloween-themed brand in purple and green slime font. It is light and flimsy plastic. It's exactly what I needed for my cemetery scene in my yard for Halloween. It puts out good light, and it's a warm light, like a candle flame, not bright white LED light like all the other lanterns I see on Amazon. I actually bought a second one just in case this one stops working. I would have given this 5 stars for being an excellent spooky cemetery lantern, but it's a little too flimsy for my liking. Like, if you were to drop it onto a hard floor, it would probably snap and have to be glued back together. But all I'm doing is setting it on the ground next to a foam tombstone, so I'm not too worried about that.
