A BRIEF HISTORY OF LANTERNS
December 3, 2023

The history of lanterns in the USA spans centuries, showcasing how these timeless lighting fixtures have evolved in American homes and culture. In this article, we explore the fascinating journey of lanterns in the USA, from their early beginnings to their modern designs.
When we think of lanterns, the image that often comes to mind is a person in the 17th or 18th century carrying a light enclosed in a cage with glass or an old oil lantern. Modern lanterns maintain this vintage charm but come with a contemporary twist. Essentially, a lantern is a portable light featuring a protective case around the light source, whether it’s a candle or an electric bulb in today’s world. It typically has a handle for easy carrying and can be either portable or fixed.
The idea behind the protective case is to prevent the light from being extinguished by the wind, especially when used outdoors. While the ancient Greeks first mentioned lanterns in writing, evidence suggests their existence in ancient Egypt and China centuries prior. Lanterns were initially crafted from various materials such as metal, wood, and even paper in China, primarily serving functional purposes.
Initially utilizing wood as the light source, lanterns evolved into candles, whale oil, gas, and kerosene. In the contemporary era, lanterns predominantly feature battery or electrical sources, some incorporating solar cells or connections to generators. Today, portable lanterns are commonly used during camping trips or emergencies.
Beyond their practical uses, lanterns are also employed for decorative purposes in homes, businesses, and churches. The Lighting Corner in Grandville and Grand Haven offers a diverse selection of lantern styles for various settings. These lanterns, suspended from chains and hung from ceilings, often come in enclosed or open designs. Lanterns are also popular choices for wall lights, serving as driveway and porch lighting or even as bedside task lighting. Their classic appearance makes lanterns excellent accent pieces, providing both aesthetic appeal and functional lighting.
