English translation:disk-shaped lantern
Explanation:
This is not a regular item in the West, but I got on the net and looked at some pictures, and gather that this is a lantern that is disk- or saucer-shaped (one I saw looked a bit like a 1930's image of a flying saucer, as envisioned by an alcoholic). It might be best, then, to just use a name that describes it, such as 'disk-shaped lantern'. The 光 part isn't necessary; one expects a lantern to have 光.
