Solar Candle Ball Lantern

Solar Glow

Solar Candle Ball Lantern

A round openwork metal lantern that charges from daylight and casts a soft flame-effect glow at dusk. The built-in solar panel powers a rechargeable cell, while a light sensor switches it on at night and off at sunrise. The cut-out ball scatters warm patterned light across patios, paths and garden beds, with no cords, wax or open flame to manage.

Openwork Ball, Weather Ready

Metal Frame

Openwork Ball, Weather Ready

The Solar Candle Ball Lantern is built around an openwork metal ball cut with a fine pattern. By day the integrated solar panel charges the cell; by night the warm LED throws that cut-out pattern across nearby surfaces. The metal frame stands up to outdoor weather on a patio, balcony rail or garden hook through the warmer months.

Garden Light

Hang It Or Set It Down

Seen in a garden setting, the Solar Candle Ball Lantern rests on a table, clips to a rail or hangs from a shepherd hook over a path. The flame-effect LED gives the warm look of candlelight with no smoke or flame, lighting a patio, balcony or walkway after sunset and switching itself off again at dawn, night after night through the season.

Why this product

Why people choose it

  • 1

    Solar Charged

    A small solar panel on top of the flame effect tea light charges through daylight, so there are no cords, plugs or disposable batteries to manage.

  • 2

    Openwork Metal Ball

    The cut out wire cage frame scatters patterned shadows across a table, a fence post or a garden bed once the light comes on at night.

  • 3

    Flame Effect Candle

    The LED flickers like a real candle flame with no smoke, wax or open fire, so it sits safely near plants, fabric and timber.

  • 4

    Dusk To Dawn Sensor

    A built in light sensor switches the glow on by itself at nightfall and off again at sunrise, so there is nothing to press.

How it works

How to set it up outside

  • Charge it in daylight
    1

    Charge it in daylight

    Set the lantern where the solar panel on the tea light catches a few hours of direct daylight. There is nothing to plug in. The panel tops up the cell through the day so it is ready to glow by evening.

  • Hang it or set it down
    2

    Hang it or set it down

    Clip the chain and hook over a branch, a shepherd hook, a pergola beam or a rail, or lift the chain off and rest the metal ball on a table, a windowsill or a garden wall.

  • Let the sensor do the rest
    3

    Let the sensor do the rest

    A built in light sensor switches the flame effect glow on by itself at dusk and off again at sunrise. There is no switch to press and no timer to set, so it just lights up each evening.

  • Wipe it now and then
    4

    Wipe it now and then

    Open the two halves of the ball, lift out the tea light and wipe the panel and the metal frame with a soft cloth so the glow stays clear. Bring it in over harsh winter weather to keep it fresh.

Benefits

Soft light, nothing to manage

  • A glow that runs itself

    The solar panel charges the tea light through the day and a dusk to dawn sensor lights it at nightfall and rests it at sunrise, so there are no cords, no batteries and nothing to switch.

  • Patterned light from the ball

    The openwork metal cage scatters a soft lattice of shadow across a table, a wall or a fence once the LED comes on, so the lantern reads as a garden detail rather than a plain lamp.

  • Candle look, no flame

    The LED flickers warmly like a real candle but with no smoke, wax or open fire, so it sits safely near plants, fabric and timber where a real candle would be a risk.

  • Hang it or stand it

    Each ball comes with a chain and hook to hang it from a branch, hook or rail, and the chain lifts off so you can rest the ball on any flat surface instead.

  • One or a whole set

    Choose a single ball for a doorway or windowsill, or a set of four to line a path, hang a row along a pergola or cluster a warm pool of light on the patio table.

FAQ

Questions before checkout

Does it need batteries or a plug?
No. The flame effect tea light has a small solar panel on top that charges from daylight and stores power in a rechargeable cell, so there is nothing to plug in and no disposable batteries to swap. Set it where it gets a few hours of direct sun through the day and it powers itself for the evening.
When does it turn on?
A built in light sensor reads the sky and switches the lantern on by itself at dusk, then off again at sunrise. There is no switch to press and no timer to set. Once it has charged through the day it lights up on its own each evening and rests through the morning.
Is it a real flame?
No. The candle look comes from a flickering LED, so there is no smoke, no wax and no open fire. That makes it safe to hang near plants, fabric and timber where a real candle would be a risk, while it still gives the warm, moving glow of candlelight across the garden at night.
Can I hang it outdoors?
Yes. Each ball comes with a chain and hook, so you can hang it from a tree branch, a shepherd hook, a pergola beam or a balcony rail. You can also lift the chain off and rest the ball on a table, a windowsill or a garden wall. The metal frame is made to stay outside through the season.
How big is the lantern?
The openwork ball is about the size of a tennis ball, roughly eight to nine centimetres across, and it holds a standard flame effect tea light. The chain adds extra length for hanging. It is sized to cluster a few together on a table or to line several along a path without looking bulky.
How do I put the tea light in?
The metal ball opens into two halves on a small hinge. Open it, drop the solar flame effect tea light into the cup at the base with the panel facing up, then close the two halves. The chain clips to the top so you can hang it, or you can leave the chain off and stand the ball on a flat surface.
What can I do with a set of four?
A set of four lets you line a path, hang a row along a fence or pergola, or cluster them on an outdoor table for a soft pool of light. Because each ball is self contained and solar charged, you can spread them wherever they catch daylight, with no cords to link them or hide.
Will it last outside in the rain?
The metal ball frame is made for outdoor use through the warmer months on a patio, balcony or in a garden bed. As with most solar garden lights, give the tea light a wipe now and then and bring it in over harsh winter weather to keep the panel and cell in good shape for the next season.
