A lantern softens candlelight and protects it from the breeze, which makes it ideal for entrances and balconies on Diwali night. Choose from stained-glass golden lanterns, Moroccan slim designs, luxe wire lanterns and square stained-glass models.

All accept tea lights or small pillar candles; several have hanging loops. Group three on a staircase or line a path with them for the full effect.
