For this massive size lantern we recommend our globe light for weddings and events.
(if you are hanging over your own lighting, the diametre hole at the top of the lantern at the narrowest point is 18.5cm)
Using paper lantern as a light shade - If you have pendant style light bulbs (where the globe hangs down from the ceiling approx 30cm on a cord) this is possible. Thread the cord through the C hook at the top of the lantern and the globe will sit inside the lantern. We recommend to use eco led globes that don't generate heat. Contact an electrician for electrical lighting advice.
