Overview
A two-pack of solar-powered outdoor lanterns with a flickering LED flame effect, automatic dusk-to-dawn operation, and an IP65 waterproof rating, styled to look like old-fashioned hanging lanterns.
- 2-pack, automatic dusk-to-dawn operation
- IP65 waterproof rating
- Up to 10 hours summer, 6-8 hours winter runtime
- 8-hour solar charge time
Who it's for
A fit for anyone wanting low-effort ambient lighting for a fence line, patio, or yard display without running wiring, especially for holiday or event decorating. Less suited to anyone standing close to the lanterns for long periods, since the flicker effect reads as harsh up close to at least one reviewer.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Owners are consistently positive on longevity, with multiple reviews noting the lanterns are still working well a year after purchase. The realistic look of the flame comes up repeatedly, including one owner startled by the reflection through their windows at night. The one specific criticism is that the flicker effect can look more like a strobe light than a real flame when viewed up close, even though it reads as convincing fire from a distance.
