Candle lanterns are very versatile.  It comes in different designs and styles and it also gives off several uses.  Not only that, but these lanterns also come with its own set of accessories.  This is true for those that are used outdoors and those that are commonly used for camp-outs.  One of the most important accessories of these lanterns that you should know about is the reflectors.

Reflectors are those accessories that are used to increase the brightness of the light that comes out from lanterns that uses candles.  There are actually several kinds of these which also have unique functions.

Number one on the list of reflectors that you can get for your candle lantern is the parabolic side reflector.  This kind is usually clipped to one side of the lantern to make its light shine directly to only one specific side just like the kind light coming out from a flashlight.

Second on the list is the Pac-Flat reflector.  This kind of reflector actually works like a lampshade.  It directs the light downwards and is good to have if you want to use the lantern as a light for reading.  This is also nice when you are using a candle lantern to guide your path during your moonlight hikes since it gives off light that goes directly downwards making you see where you are going.

Another kind of reflector that you should know about and can use for your candle lanterns is the lampshade reflector.  Just like the Pac-flat reflector, this kind also directs light downwards.  The only difference that they have is on the design.  This kind of reflector is shaped like a plate that is placed over or on top of the candle lantern while the Pac-flat reflector looks more like a bowl.

The fourth and the last one is the chandelier reflector. This is usually used for chandelier candle lanterns and is also clipped or attached on the sides just like the parabolic side reflector but it gives off a better kind of directed lighting.

Those are the four kinds of reflectors that you can get for your candle lantern.
