A. Open flame lanterns set a mood or ambiance for your setting. Think of a candle, the gas lantern will provide a taller flame than a candle, but not much more light.

Q. If your lanterns do not turn on with a switch, how do they work?
A. Each open flame lantern has an adjustable valve on the burner assembly. You can access the valve and burner assembly through a door on the front of the lantern. To light the lantern turn the valve so that the gas is flowing, then light the gas with a match. Do not use a lighter to ignite your lantern. The lantern is designed to run continuously, but if you want to turn off the flame, just turn the valve until the gas is shut off.
