Maintenance
1. Cleaning
Wipe the exterior of the lantern with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish and polycarbonate lens.
2. Battery Care
To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the lantern frequently. Recharge the battery regularly, even if not in constant use. Store the lantern in a cool, dry place when not in use for extended periods.
3. Patina Development
The brass and copper components of your lantern are designed to develop a natural patina over time. This is a characteristic of the material and adds to the unique aesthetic of the product. If a polished look is desired, use a suitable metal polish specifically for brass and copper, following the polish manufacturer's instructions.
