I have had several sizes of these lanterns for 8 years, and I have used them everywhere. Definitely worth the money. Additionally I have over a dozer of the Flameless candles that I’ve purchased over the years, a little at a time. This candle is not specific to outdoors but is well protected in this lantern. . christmas christmasporch . LTKhome LTKSeasonal LTKHoliday
