About this asset

This traditional red paper spherical lantern Revit family features an illuminated ribbed shade designed for decorative ceiling installations. The fixture features a classic spherical paper shade with subtle horizontal wire ribbing, finished in a vivid red-orange tone. A short top mounting collar connects the diffuser directly beneath the ceiling plane, providing concentrated warm illumination that casts concentric radial patterns upward and downward. Cylindrical end collars anchor the top and bottom of the globe, defining its traditional Chinese lantern silhouette. The shade geometry maintains clean curvilinear profiles, creating an authentic translucent paper look when illuminated in renderings, whether deployed as a single accent or spaced along a dining or hospitality corridor.

The download is a 379 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

Load this RFA component directly into your Revit project and place it on ceiling elements or reference planes. Verify the elevation offset from level to ensure proper hanging clearance above dining tables, counters, or walkways. Adjust material emission properties, shade color maps, and nested photometric light source definitions within family types to match your project's rendering engine and lighting schedule requirements.

Ideal for Asian-fusion dining rooms, themed hospitality interiors, festive retail fit-outs, and cultural community spaces, this lantern introduces rich ambient lighting and distinctive oriental character. It pairs naturally with dark timber dining tables, slatted wood screens, and minimalist plaster finishes across concept presentations and photorealistic interior renders. Interior designers and BIM technicians frequently search for this piece under terms such as Chinese paper lantern, festive pendant light, Asian decorative luminaire, and glowing paper globe.
