18" Matte White Solar LED Indoor/Outdoor Lantern

The Alta Solar Lantern strips a traditional lantern down to its essentials — an open matte white frame, a built-in LED panel, and a solar cell that quietly does its job all day so the light is ready by dusk. At 18 inches, it's sized to sit comfortably on a side table or step, casting warm light without the upkeep of candles.

Design Function: An architectural outdoor light source built for evening ambiance, powered by sun instead of flame or a wall outlet.

Details at a Glance:

• Material: Powder-coated matte white metal with integrated LED and solar panel
• Dimensions: 18"H x 8"W x 8"D
• Power: Solar rechargeable or USB-C plug-in (cord not included)
• Light: 3000K warm white, 200 lumens, up to 8 hours on a full charge
• IP65-rated for outdoor use

Category Standard: Within our lighting collection, the Alta sits in the solar-powered, indoor/outdoor lantern category — the 18" size is the smaller of two, built for pairing or standalone use on a smaller footprint.

How to Style It: Set a candle or faux greenery inside the open frame for a layered look, or let the lantern stand alone on a step or entry table. Group two together for a stronger glow at an entryway.

Where It Works Best: Covered porches, entryways, and patio tables — anywhere you want ambient light without running a cord.

Mel's Styling Take: I keep one of these lit on my own front step through spring and summer — it turns on automatically at dusk and I never think about it again, which is exactly the point.

Pairs Well With: 24" Large Matte White Solar LED Indoor/Outdoor Lantern · 20" Cream Leather Tray with Brushed Matte Gold Handles. Also styles well alongside our 23" Maidenhair Fern and Champagne Bowl.

Also Available In: 24" Large Matte White Solar LED Indoor/Outdoor Lantern, for a taller, more commanding version of the same design.

Good to Know: Bring it indoors during frost or freezing weather to protect the finish over time — the powder coat resists rust but isn't meant for harsh winter exposure.

Product Insight: Customers choose this size when they want lantern-style ambiance in pairs, flanking a doorway or a set of steps.
