The Lantern Row Set
Cordless, rechargeable lights for village buildings, with one remote for all of them.
Around $40expected for 6 lights. Sets of 4 and 12 too.
No payment now. Join the waitlist and we'll email once, when sets are ready.
- Designed to fit the hole you already have. The part that goes in is no bigger than the C7 bulb it replaces, held by the same metal spring clip.
- One remote for the whole village. On/off, dimming, warm white plus 16 colors, candle flicker, and a 6-hour nightly timer.
- Groups. Pair lights to groups 1, 2, or 3 so buildings can show different colors.
- Rechargeable. Six lights charge at once on the USB-C tray.
- Remembers your settings after it's switched off.
Specifications
These are design targets we've sent to manufacturers. We'll post measured numbers from samples, including run time at each brightness.
| Light | Color LEDs plus a separate 2700K warm-white LED under a frosted cap, so warm white looks like an old bulb, not bluish |
|---|---|
| Brightness | 25+ lumens in warm white target |
| Part that goes inside | Up to 1 in (25 mm) wide × 1.6 in (41 mm) long, the size of a C7 bulb |
| Battery location | In the body behind the light, outside the building, like the old socket |
| Mounting | Metal spring clip; unscrews to leave a flat standing base |
| Remote | Radio (433 MHz or 2.4 GHz, confirming with suppliers), about 30 ft, no aiming target |
| Run time per charge | 20+ hours at 50% warm white; 6+ hours at full target |
| Charging | 6-bay tray, one USB-C cable, about 3 hours, stops when full target |
Battery and safety
- Lithium-ion cell with a protection circuit against overcharge, over-discharge, and short circuit.
- Tested before anything ships: UN38.3 and IEC 62133 battery standards, FCC for the radio, RoHS. We'll post the reports.
- Runs cool. Our spec keeps the shell under 104°F (40°C) at full brightness, safe for resin and painted pieces.
- Built to last: we're asking suppliers for 500+ charge cycles. When a light eventually wears out, you can buy a replacement.
- Planned: 1-year warranty and 30-day returns.
Will it fit?
If your building takes a standard village light cord with a C7 bulb and a spring clip, Lantern Row is designed for the same hole. That's most Department 56, Lemax, and similar ceramic and resin pieces. Some older or smaller pieces use different holes; we'll publish a fit list as we test.
