Approach Lantern

The Approach collection is available in the following mount configurations: Wall Mount, Post Mount, Ceiling Mount. Each mount type determines the hardware and installation method for your lantern.

The Approach is available in Natural Gas, Propane (LP), and Electric configurations. Gas lanterns use CSA-certified burners, while electric options include LED flame simulation modules for a realistic flickering effect.

The Approach is offered in multiple finish options including Antique Copper, Matte Black, and Bronze. Available finishes may vary by size — use the configurator to see all options for your selected configuration.

Every Approach lantern is built to order. Typical lead times are 4 to 6 weeks from order placement to shipment. You will receive tracking information once your order ships. Orders over $500 qualify for free shipping.

Your Approach ships with the lantern body, mounting hardware for your selected mount type, glass panels, and the appropriate burner or lighting module. Decorative accessories such as scrolls, hooks, and extensions are sold separately and can be added during configuration.
