Q: Is the lantern made of real glass or plastic?
The lantern is made of polypropylene plastic with a glass effect — not real glass. The translucent blue surface visually mimics the appearance of colored glass, but the material is polypropylene, which is lighter and more shock-resistant than glass. This is a practical advantage for a lantern intended for outdoor use and to be handled regularly.
Q: Is the light really bluish or does it remain white?
The LED is warm white in all the lanterns in the catalog. The blue tint of the polypropylene slightly filters this light into a slightly bluish and very soft light — not a cold or color-saturated light, but a warm white light with a very subtle and soothing blue note. The effect is closer to a slightly colored light than to a distinctly blue light.
Q: Can this lantern stay outdoors all season?
Yes — balcony & terrace and outdoor garden. The IP44 protection ensures resistance to water splashes. Polypropylene withstands weather and UV well. In winter, bringing the lantern inside during periods of intense frost protects the battery.
Q: What is the difference between the blue dome lantern and the black lantern in the catalog?
The shape, color, and register are very distinct. The black lantern (Ø18xH34cm, glass + metal) is rectangular, sleek, and contemporary — very clear pure white light. The blue dome lantern (Ø17xH40cm, metal + polypropylene) is round and enveloping — slightly bluish and very soft light. The two are in a comparable size range but convey two very different things: rigor vs softness, contemporary vs coastal.
Q: Is it a good gift for someone who loves soft and Mediterranean atmospheres?
The most targeted solar gift in the catalog for this profile. The blue dome lantern immediately evokes evenings by the water, Mediterranean terraces, the calm of the evening after a hot day. For someone looking to transform their terrace into a peaceful haven in the evening, it is the most fitting piece in the catalog.
