Review summary

Customers describe the Solar Candle Ball Lantern as a soft, charming way to light a garden in the evening, with the flickering flame effect glow and the patterned shadows from the openwork ball drawing the most comments. Many like that it charges in the sun and switches on by itself at dusk, so there is nothing to plug in or remember. Reviewers hang them from trees, pergolas and shepherd hooks or cluster them on patio tables, and several bought the set of four to line a path. A few note it is best brought in over harsh winter weather.

Soft glow with no fuss

I hung three of these from the apple tree and they come on by themselves once it gets dark. The flickering looks just like real tea lights but I never have to light anything. They charged up the first day in the sun and have lit every evening since.

Three under the apple tree sounds lovely, Marit. The automatic dusk glow is exactly the point of this one.

Patterned shadows are gorgeous

The openwork ball throws this lovely lattice of shadow on the fence behind it. Bought the set of four and lined them along the deck rail. No cords to hide which was the main thing for me. Really pleased with how they look at night.

Charming little lanterns

These are smaller than I pictured, about the size of a tennis ball, but that turned out just right for clustering on the patio table. The warm flicker is cosy. They charge fine even on a cloudy day and switch on at dusk on their own.

No wiring, just hang and go

What sold me was no plug and no batteries to buy. I clipped them onto the pergola beams and they have been lighting up every evening. The metal cage feels solid and the tea light drops in and out easily for a wipe. Great value in the set of four.

Glad the no wiring part won you over, Stefan. The pergola is a perfect spot for a row of these.

Looks magic at dusk

Right as the garden goes dark these flicker on by themselves and it looks magical. I have them on shepherd hooks down the path. The candle effect is warm and moving, not a flat steady light, which is what I wanted. So easy to live with.

Cosy and safe near the plants

I like that there is no real flame so I can hang them right by the climbing plants and the wooden fence without worrying. The flicker is convincing. They take a good day of sun to charge fully but then glow all evening. Happy with them.

Lovely on the balcony rail

My balcony is small so I clipped two onto the rail and they give the nicest soft light at night. No socket needed which is ideal up here. The little solar panel sits on top of the tea light and tops up during the day. Would buy again.

A pair on the balcony rail is a great use of a small space, Carine. Thank you for the kind words.

Set of four lined the path

Bought four to light the path to the back gate. They come on together at dusk and the patterned glow guides you down nicely. The chains make them easy to move if I want them on the table instead. No cables anywhere, exactly what I hoped for.

Pretty and practical

These do exactly what they say. Charge in the sun, light up at dark, switch off in the morning. I keep one on the outdoor table and hang one over the door. The flicker is warm and the metal ball looks smart even off during the day.

Brilliant for evenings outside

We sit out most warm evenings and these have become part of it. They glow on their own once the sun drops and last the whole evening. The openwork ball casts a soft pattern on the wall behind. Solid little lanterns and no running cost at all.

Sounds like the perfect evening setup, Gauthier. Glad they have earned a place on your patio.
