This lantern doesn’t wait for fireworks to make an entrance, it starts its own show as soon as the sun dips. Painted a bold blue with a matte black top, the 14-inch tall Blue Lighted Wood & Metal Patriotic Lantern brings structured character to patios, tabletops, and porches alike. Each side features a scatter of star-shaped cutouts that give a peek at the iridescent paneling inside, where a spinning light adds movement and color.

Built from a mix of wood and metal, this lantern blends classic outdoor charm with modern function. It doesn’t rely on cords or flames to shine, just three AA batteries (not included) and a flick of the switch. Even better, it’s equipped with a timer. Flip it on at your preferred hour and it’ll glow for six hours, then power down for eighteen. The cycle repeats daily, no reminder needed.

The top includes a loop for easy hanging if you'd rather let it swing from a hook or shepherd’s crook. The rest of the time, it’s just as content standing firm on a patio step or lighting up a Fourth of July picnic spread. Inside, the spinning light softly shifts behind the star cutouts, sending changing shapes across nearby surfaces.

This blue lantern gives structure and a little visual vitality to any arrangement, whether it's utilized as a bold stand-alone accent or combined with red and white lanterns for a cohesive holiday effect. The moving light produces a soft rhythm that is ideal for outdoor nights or festive inside shows, and the radiance is understated yet powerful.
