Torches:

For outdoors, we recommend the garden torches

Torches have become a very popular form of outdoor lighting, and these torches not only illuminate and decorate your terrace or garden, but also keep mosquitoes away.

Lanterns:

Lanterns are the most commonly used systems to protect the candle flame and prevent it from going out.
