hanging lanterns

Dangling decorative lamps

Hanging lanterns are decorative light fixtures suspended from above, typically featuring a frame of metal, paper, or glass enclosing a light source.

They range from ornate outdoor fixtures on porches and patios to the paper lanterns strung at festivals and celebrations.

The garden was lit by hanging lanterns swaying in the breeze.

Chinese and Japanese traditions feature paper versions prominently in ceremonies and holidays.
