Best Outdoor Lanterns of 2025

"I bought two heavy-duty outdoor lanterns, and the candle lights are brighter than any others I've ever purchased. Great price for two lanterns! The candle looks so real; I would definitely buy these again!"

"These lanterns are absolutely beautiful. Even in a not-very-sunny-state, they get enough sun to light up at night. While the light doesn't last until morning, they are really nice and worth the price."

"My 10-year-old said these are like being in Harry Potter. I have a love for lanterns and wanted something for my super dark steps. They truly look like they have a real candle inside and are incredibly durable. Despite hail storms and strong winds, they held up very well. I was initially worried about them being solar, but the battery life lasts throughout the night. These are so nice to look at!"

"I bought these because my family was left in the dark during the last severe storm. I needed something bright enough to light up our rooms without the hassle of charging. These battery-operated lanterns (AA not included) are incredibly bright and perfect for dark situations. They don’t get hot, making them very safe to use. I love that there are four in a pack—one for each family member. The price is fantastic, and I'm even considering buying more for my dad and to keep some extra around the house and in the car."

"I recently got the Lichamp LED Lanterns (4 Pack) for an upcoming camping trip and emergencies. Pros: They are super bright, portable with their pop-up design, and incredibly easy to use—just pull up to turn on! They are battery-powered with easily replaceable AA batteries and feel quite sturdy. The hanging hook is a nice touch for camping. Cons: They do use batteries quickly, so I recommend having extras handy. Overall, these lanterns are a practical choice for anyone."

"We already knew these lanterns were excellent for camping, but when Hurricane Helene left many without power for days, they became a safe, reliable light source.
