Description
This perforated solar pendant lantern brings a soft, warm white glow outside once the sun goes down. Its rounded oval shade is made of polyester and metal. It is ribbed in gentle bands and pierced all over with small cut-out dots, so the light inside spills through as a scatter of tiny points. A slim metal hanging loop rises from the top, where a small black solar panel sits like a lid. We offer it in three colours: mink grey, mustard yellow and soft pink. The lantern measures about 25cm across and 46cm tall overall, with the shade itself around 34cm tall without the hanging loop, and it weighs just 0.134KG.
With its IP44 rating, this lantern is suitable for use outside, so it can hang in the garden on long summer evenings. It is best kept away from heavy rain, and it should never be submerged in water. The mink grey sits quietly against stone, timber and greenery, the mustard yellow brings a cheerful pop of colour, and the soft pink adds a gentle, romantic note to a summer table. Hang one on its own beside a doorway, or mix all three colours together for a relaxed, festival feel.
The 4.5cm square solar panel on top charges a 1.2V AA Ni-MH 300mAh rechargeable battery through the day. Charging takes around 8 hours in summer and around 12 hours in winter, and the battery is not replaceable. Leave the switch underneath in the ON position and the lantern turns itself on when it gets dark, then stays lit for around 7 to 8 hours on a full charge. To keep it looking its best, dust the shade gently with a soft dry cloth and keep the panel clear of leaves so it catches the daylight. A few hung along a fence make an easy, glowing welcome, and one makes a simple, thoughtful gift too.
