LED Tealight Lanterns FAQ – KJ Designs

Thank you for your interest in my LED Tealight Lanterns collection! Below you'll find answers to the most common questions about these handmade lanterns, from how they work to how to care for them.

What makes your LED tealight lanterns different from shop-bought ones?

Each of my lanterns is handmade and features my original textile designs, so no two are exactly alike. Unlike mass-produced high street versions, these are crafted in small batches with real attention to colour, texture, and detail. You're getting a one-of-a-kind piece that adds genuine character to your home.

Do the lanterns come with LED tealights included?

Please check the individual product listing for details, as this can vary. Each listing clearly states what is included with your lantern. If you're unsure, feel free to get in touch and I'll be happy to confirm.

Are real candles safe to use in these lanterns?

I strongly recommend using LED tealights only. Because the lanterns incorporate textile elements and handmade materials, a real flame could pose a fire risk and damage the fabric. LED tealights give a beautiful, warm glow without any of the danger.

What materials are used to make the lanterns?

My lanterns combine carefully chosen textiles with complementary structural materials. The fabric elements feature my original designs, and some pieces include hand-dyed details that make each lantern truly unique. Full material information is listed on each product page.

Can I use these lanterns outdoors?

These lanterns are primarily designed for indoor use. While they can be placed in a sheltered outdoor spot for a special occasion, prolonged exposure to moisture or wind could damage the textile elements. For outdoor settings, I'd recommend bringing them inside afterwards.

How do I care for and clean my lantern?

A gentle wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth is the best way to keep your lantern looking its best. Avoid submerging it in water or using harsh cleaning products, as this could affect the fabric and any hand-dyed finishes. Store it in a dry place when not in use.

Do you ship LED tealight lanterns internationally?

Yes, I ship to customers both within the UK and internationally. Shipping costs and delivery times will vary depending on your location. You can see the available options at checkout, and you're always welcome to message me with any questions before ordering.

Would these lanterns work as a gift?

Absolutely! Because each lantern is handmade and one of a kind, it makes a really thoughtful, personal gift. They suit anyone who loves cosy, characterful home décor. If you'd like any advice on choosing the right design for someone, just drop me a message.

Can I request a custom design or colour for a lantern?

I'm always open to hearing about custom ideas. While I can't guarantee every request is possible, I love working with customers to create something special. Please get in touch through my store with your idea and I'll let you know what I can do.

What is your returns policy for the LED tealight lanterns?

Because each lantern is handmade, please review my store's returns policy before placing your order. If your lantern arrives damaged or isn't what you expected, contact me as soon as possible and I'll do my best to put things right. I want you to be completely happy with your purchase.
