When the evening starts to settle and the crowd quiets down, this lantern keeps the energy going in its own low-key way. Painted in bright white with a matte black top, the 14-inch White Lighted Wood & Metal Patriotic Lantern blends clean lines with a subtle glow that fits right in at any summer gathering. Star-shaped cutouts wrap around all four sides, revealing a holographic interior that reflects shifting light from the spinning mechanism tucked inside.

This lantern combines wood and metal for a classic and stout silhouette, but everything inside is powered by modern convenience, no cords, no candles. Just pop in three AA batteries (not included), flip the switch underneath, and let the built-in timer handle the rest. It stays lit for six hours, then turns off automatically for eighteen, repeating the cycle daily right on schedule.

A metal loop at the top makes it easy to hang if you want to raise the glow a bit higher, whether it’s on a hook, post, or tree branch. On the ground or on a tabletop, the lantern feels steady and present. Inside, the rotating light adds a touch of movement behind the crisp star shapes, reflecting iridescent light on nearby surfaces, creating a light show that is full of color.

Whether you're building a full red, white, and blue display or just need one reliable accent piece for your entryway or patio, this lantern holds its own. It gives off a quiet shimmer that lasts through backyard parties, porch hangs, or even a quiet night indoors, anywhere you’d like a little steady light with a bit of motion.
