Lanterns bring luminescence to the dark.
They can reveal spirits shrouded by shadow, a bucket of candy you find while trick or treating, or perhaps reveal an arachnid sitting in its spindling spider web untouched by the light of the moon.

A lantern is a guardian of gold. An Angel in disguise.
A lantern is so much more than a light.
It's a friend.
