Carnelian 250 vs 500 vs 1000 — Which Size?

The 250 is the compact companion lantern of the range — best used as a bedroom or compartment light alongside a larger main lantern. For most families, we'd recommend the Carnelian 1000 as the main awning or living area lantern, with a 250 in each sleeping compartment. Read our full Carnelian size guide for a detailed comparison.
