Handcrafted Copper Gas Light Fixtures with Real Flame Ambiance
There’s nothing like the warm flicker of a real flame to bring character, charm, and atmosphere to a space. At Flambeaux, gas lanterns are where our story began — and they remain the foundation of everything we build.
Our gas light fixtures are made from solid copper, handcrafted in Louisiana, and designed to evoke the elegance and timeless beauty of traditional French Quarter lighting. Whether you’re creating a grand entrance, lighting up a courtyard, or adding curb appeal to your front porch, gas lanterns offer a look and feel that simply can’t be replicated.
Why Choose Gas Lighting?
- Authentic Flame Ambiance
Nothing compares to the soft, flickering glow of a true gas flame. It creates instant warmth and Southern charm that electric lighting can only imitate. - Timeless Outdoor Appeal
Perfect for patios, porches, driveways, and garden walls — anywhere you want to create visual impact with a classic, historic feel. - Custom-Made for You
Choose your mounting style, bracket, glass, and finish. Every gas lantern is built to order and crafted to fit your space and design goals. - Built to Withstand the Elements
Our copper lanterns naturally weather over time, developing a rich patina that protects the material and enhances the aesthetic. - Multiple Fuel & Safety Options
Available in natural gas or propane, with optional thermocouples for flame-out safety in windy or coastal environments.

Electric vs. Gas Lanterns: Which Is Right for You?

| Maintenance | Occasional relighting, gas line maintenance | Minimal maintenance once installed |
| Ambiance | Classic flickering flame | Warm, consistent glow with same classic style |
Want the real thing? Gas is the way to go. Prefer simplicity and indoor flexibility? Electric may be better.
Built to Burn — the Right Way
At Flambeaux, our gas light fixtures are made to burn continuously and perform best when left on. This steady burn not only ensures reliability, but also reduces wear and tear from frequent relighting.
Need added peace of mind in windy areas? Ask about our optional thermocouple, which automatically shuts off gas flow if the flame goes out — a smart upgrade for coastal homes.
We also offer electronic ignition systems, but due to reliability issues and limited cost savings, we generally recommend traditional manual ignition with optional safety upgrades. Read why here.
