Maintenance Tips

• Clean the Aged Zinc Finish: Wipe the durable aged zinc aluminum frame with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt, dust, and outdoor residue. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive pads, and pressure washing that can damage the finish.

• Wash the Clear Glass: Clean the clear glass panels with mild soap and water or a non‑abrasive glass cleaner to keep the lantern bright and clear.

• Inspect & Replace Bulb: Uses 1 medium‑base socket (up to ~100 W or LED equivalent) — check regularly and replace bulbs if dimming, flickering, or end‑of‑life occurs to maintain consistent light output.

• Check Mounting Hardware: Because this post mount is wet‑rated for outdoor use, periodically inspect the post base, screws, and hardware to ensure secure installation — especially after storms or heavy winds.

• Remove Debris: Clear insects, leaves, and dirt from inside the lantern and around the post to prevent moisture buildup and preserve even illumination.

• Avoid Abrasives & Strong Cleaners: Steer clear of bleach, solvents, or scrubbing pads that can damage the finish or glass surfaces.
