Maintenance Tips
-
Clean the finish: Wipe the oil‑rubbed bronze aluminum frame and etched seedy glass with a soft cloth and mild soap solution to remove dust and outdoor grime; avoid abrasive cleaners that can dull the finish.
-
Dry thoroughly: After cleaning, dry all surfaces completely to help preserve the hand‑painted finish and reduce water spots.
-
Inspect hardware: Check the post mount, screws, and lantern fitter occasionally to ensure everything stays secure and aligned.
-
Use correct bulb: Install a medium‑base (E26) bulb up to 100 W equivalent (LED or incandescent) and always turn off power before replacing the bulb. This model accepts a standard socketed lamp.
-
Clear debris & moisture: Keep the etched glass free of leaves, insects, and moisture buildup to maintain light clarity and performance.
-
Seasonal check: At least twice a year, inspect seals, wiring, and finish — especially after harsh weather — to ensure long‑lasting wet‑rated outdoor durability.
