What the Crystal Shade Does
The Crystal Shade is a semi-transparent, faceted lantern shade made from silicone. It has a glass-like transparency and high durability, making it a practical upgrade for your camp lighting setup. The shade is compatible with both the Hozuki Lantern and Mini Hozuki Lantern, turning either into a tabletop lantern. Swapping your standard shade with the Crystal Shade creates a soft, ambient glow that works well for special occasions or everyday camp use.
How to Swap the Shade
Follow these simple steps to replace the standard shade on your Hozuki or Mini Hozuki with the Crystal Shade.
- Step 1: Remove the existing shade: Gently pull the standard shade off the lantern body. The silicone material flexes easily, so no tools are needed.
- Step 2: Attach the Crystal Shade: Align the Crystal Shade with the lantern base and press it into place. The faceted silicone will sit snugly, creating a secure fit.
- Step 3: Test the fit: Ensure the shade is fully seated and does not wobble. The Crystal Shade is designed to stay in place during normal tabletop use.
Creating Ambiance with the Crystal Shade
Once installed, the faceted surface of the Crystal Shade scatters light in multiple directions, producing a warm, diffused glow. This makes it ideal for dinner tables, campsite lounging, or as a centerpiece during gatherings. Because the shade is semi-transparent, it softens the lantern's brightness without reducing visibility too much. You can use it indoors or outdoors, as long as the lantern is placed on a stable, flat surface.
