Questions from Belfast
Does an opening vent let insects in?
When open, yes, as with any window. Some ranges offer fly screens.
Can I have a manual opening vent?
Manual vents are rare on lanterns because they are out of reach. Electric operation is standard.

With the midsummer sun about 58.8° high at noon, roof glass in Belfast gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
