The term roof lantern in its most common use today describes a multi-paned glass structure that sits atop a typically flat roof in order to provide natural light into the room below. A roof lantern is in effect a skylight. The term has also been used (Roof Top Lantern) to describe the decorative lighted lanterns atop Japanese taxi cabs designed to mimic the cultural heritage of Japanese lanterns.
