Hooded lantern

A hooded lantern was the basic type of lantern, an illumination device which protected the source of light behind glass within a frame of metal.

Description
Typical hooded lanterns consisted of a metallic frame enclosing glass panels, within which a wick connected to a reservoir of oil burned and shed light as long as the supply of fuel lasted, typically 6 hours for 1 pint (473 ml) of oil.

Some hooded lanterns allowed the hood to be lowered, significantly decreasing the amount of light shed by the lantern without the need to extinguish the flame.

Reinforced hooded lanterns were available for purchase through Aurora's Whole Realms Catalogue.
