How does the night glow work?
A small solar panel charges the spinner through the day, and the crackle finish glass ball at the centre of the head stores that charge. As dusk falls a built in light comes on by itself and the ball glows a soft colour, so the spot keeps a gentle point of light after dark with no plug, no wiring and no batteries to change.
Does it really spin in a light breeze?
Yes. The head is built as two opposed rotors of cupped, spoon shaped metal scoops, balanced so each set catches the air and turns in its own direction. Because the cups scoop the wind rather than fight it, the spinner picks up even a gentle breeze and keeps a slow, layered motion going across a bed or lawn edge.
How tall is it and how wide is the spinner?
The stake reaches about 188cm tall in total, so it sits well above borders and low planting, and the spinning head is about 38cm across. That height keeps the motion in view from across the yard while the stake itself stays slim and mostly hidden among the plants.
Where should I place it?
Set it in open ground that catches daytime sun and has air moving around the head, such as a flower bed, a lawn edge, a border or a quiet corner of the yard. Push the pointed stake firmly into the soil so it stands straight, and leave the solar panel exposed to the sky so it charges through the day.
What is it made of?
The arms, the cupped blades and the stake are metal with a brushed antique copper finish, set with jewel toned glass cabochons along the rotors, and the centre holds a crackle finish glass ball for the solar glow. The metal build is made to stay outside through the seasons rather than fade like plastic after one summer.
Does it come in different colors?
It comes in one finish, a brushed antique copper metal head and stake with multicoloured glass cabochon accents along the arms and a crackle glass ball at the centre. The single warm metal tone is chosen to suit most gardens, sitting naturally among greenery, borders and lawn rather than clashing with the planting.
Is it hard to set up?
No. It arrives ready to place, so you choose a sunny open spot, push the pointed stake into the soil or lawn until it stands firm and upright, and leave the panel facing the sky. There is nothing to wire, plug in or switch, and the spinner starts turning with the breeze straight away while the light comes on by itself at dusk.
Will it stay outside in the rain?
It is built as an outdoor garden piece, so the metal and the glass ball are made to live in a bed or border through the seasons, including rain. Wipe it down and keep the solar panel clear of leaves now and then so it keeps charging well. If you get very hard winter storms, you can lift the stake and bring it in until they pass.
