Led and Beam
Olantern Classic Mini's beam design is carefully crafted to distribute light evenly, providing a balanced and wide coverage area. The Olantern Classic Mini incorporates three LED filaments that emit a warm "orange light" (2000-2100K). In addition, there are four SMD LEDs positioned on a PCB in the top shade, just above where the polycarbonate globe is mounted.
Furthermore, there is a ring of SMD LEDs located behind a diffuser referred to as "warm white" (5000-5500K). It is worth noting that this may not align with the conventional definition of "warm white." The lantern features a single control knob that allows for seamless adjustment of the brightness of the warm LED filaments. As you continue to rotate the knob, the neutral LEDs gradually take over, providing a smooth transition in brightness.
