Nope. Too short, and lantern was too long. But your answer also has one letter right and in the right place.
And I can see now that my clue was horribly misleading. Apologies. I do have light in my basement, just not natural light through a window. So I just can't see outside to spy anything of the natural world. Thus, the object is something man-made, and small enough to be in a room with me. (Very much small enough, in fact.)
