Oval Battery Lanterns Facts and Features
These oval battery lanterns are a genuine handicraft from China and they have a collapsible frame of either metal wire or thin bamboo reeds that is covered with plain or printed gauzy-textured rice paper or glossy nylon. In their 6" diameter x 10" height and 7" diameter x 9" height sizes, these oval battery lanterns can serve, among many others, as a:
Small Chinese or Japanese table lamp, such as to shed soft and warm-glowing lights to your living room's center table or a coffee table;
Lighted lantern centerpieces to your wedding or party tables; and,
Decorative lights for the wedding aisle or pathway, and one simple way by which you can do this is by hanging these lanterns from Shepherd's hook, from clear nylon strings, or from ribbons to hang them from branches of trees and in-between poles.
Assembling oval battery lanterns are also fast and fairly unfussy as you only need to lock the metal expander between the designated points on the lantern base and around their upper frame to keep them open and secured for decorating. They are also set to light by three (3) low-heating and long-life LED lights (rated for 10,000 hours), thus using highly-efficient batteries can surely help them to glow continuously for up to 36 or 48 hours.
While suitable for hanging indoors and outdoors, we suggest hanging oval battery lanterns with rice paper cover indoors and under the dry outdoors only due to the innately delicate nature of rice paper against moisture. And, when not using these oval battery-operated lanterns as party lights, you can surely save them for your next special occasion by removing their batteries and folding them inside their polybag for storage. Rice paper oval battery lanterns are basically moth-proof and rot-proof so you can surely preserve them and they will still look good and serve as new even after months of storage. Enjoy the many other decorating styles that you can come up using these oval battery lanterns, especially use them together with other colors and styles of
paper lanterns that are sure to spice up your Asian-inspired decorating theme.
