Using this lantern is easy. Just find a suitable spot outside your home, like near the front door or on a porch, and hang it up. Plug it into a 110 - volt outlet and you can choose from different LED show options. When it comes to maintenance, keep it dry to avoid damage to the LED lights and the Capiz shell. If it gets dirty, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe it. Also, be careful when handling it as the Capiz shell can be fragile. Don't expose it to extreme weather conditions for a long time to ensure its long - term use.
