Review on ๐Ÿฎ White Weddingstar Round Paper Lantern - 20 Inch in Diameter by Jose Guzman

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I had some old lamps that I got for free but didn't like the lampshades

I used this 12 inch paper lantern as a replacement lampshade. I had some old lamps that I got for free, but I didn't like the lampshades. I took a chance on using it as a lampshade somehow and I got lucky. They were used upside down for their intended purpose as a top support ring, the perfect piece of gear salvaged from old lampshades. All I had to do was rearrange this salvaged hardware and cut out a hanging cross piece inside the paper lantern and it popped right up. Looks a lot better than before. Mind you, this only worked for me because it all fits together by accident, it's not intentional. Also, you can only use a cold bulb with these paper lanterns, be they low wattage incandescent, CFLs, or LEDs. "cook" them and can even start a fire if the lightbulb is too close to the paper.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Big and bulky
