GOOD TO KNOW
Will this work with my existing fittings?
Most of our indoor pieces use standard fittings. The exact fitting is listed in the product details, so check there before you order.
Can I use it outside?
Anything in the outdoor range is weather rated. Indoor pieces are not, so keep those under cover.
Is it dimmable?
Dimmable pieces are marked in the product details. If it is not marked, treat it as fixed output.
Nothing To Plug In
The panel and the cell are both built in, so the lantern arrives ready to stand outside. No cable to bury, no socket to find, nothing added to the bill and no batteries to replace each season.
What We Will Not Claim
The manufacturer gives no LED count, no lumen figure, no run time and no weather rating for this lantern. We have left all four blank rather than fill them with numbers that sound right and are not.
Warm White, For Atmosphere
A warm white light rather than a cold one, which reads as candlelight against brick and planting instead of security lighting. It is decoration for a corner or a table, not a light to walk a path by.
Frequently Asked Questions
How bright is this lantern?
The manufacturer publishes neither a lumen figure nor an LED count, so we are not going to give you one. Judge it as decoration: a warm glow that marks a corner, a doorway or a garden table after dark. If you need light you can actually see the ground by, look at the Beacon spotlight or the Verge security light instead, both of which publish real figures.
Can it stay out in the rain?
We do not know, and that is why the specification says so. No IP rating is published for this lantern, so until it is confirmed we would put it somewhere sheltered rather than out in open weather: a porch, a covered terrace, under a pergola or beneath an overhang. If you need something that stands in the rain all year, choose a light with a stated IP65 rating.
How long will it light for each night?
No run time or charge time is published, so any figure here would be guesswork. What holds true for every solar light is that the evening you get depends on the day it just had. A bright summer day banks a good few hours; a grey November one may give you almost nothing. Site it where it catches direct sun for as much of the day as possible.
What sort of battery does it use?
A 1.2V Ni-MH cell, which the manufacturer states and which is the usual chemistry for a solar garden light at this price. It is cheap and it works, but it holds less charge as it ages, so a lantern that runs well through its first summer will usually give you a shorter evening two or three seasons on. The capacity itself is not published.
Why are so many specifications missing?
Because the manufacturer’s listing does not state them, and we would rather show you the gap than fill it. Several of our earlier pages carried invented battery capacities and run times, which we have since stripped out. This lantern is tagged for a direct check against the manufacturer’s listing, and the table will be completed properly once that has been done.

Specifications and full description
What it does
A solar lantern that charges itself through the day and lights after dark, in warm white. There is no cable, no plug and no mains connection: it goes where you put it, provided the panel sees the sun.
This is a decorative piece. It marks the corner of a border, sits on a garden table or hangs by a door. It is not a path light and it will not show you the ground on a dark night.
What the manufacturer publishes, and what it does not
The listing confirms CE marking, a solar power source, a 1.2V Ni-MH cell, included bulbs and batteries, self-contained installation and a contemporary style. It states the lantern is not dimmable.
It gives no LED count, no lumen figure, no battery capacity, no charge or run time and no IP rating. We have left every one of those blank rather than write a number that reads convincingly and is not true. Treat the specification below as provisional.
Weather, and why we are cautious about it
No IP rating is published, so we will not tell you it shrugs off a storm. Until that is confirmed, treat it as a light for a sheltered position: a porch, a covered terrace, under a pergola or beneath an overhang, rather than standing out in open weather through a wet winter.
A Ni-MH cell, and what that means for you
The manufacturer states a 1.2V Ni-MH cell, which is the ordinary chemistry for a solar garden light rather than the lithium used in the more expensive ones. It charges fine and it is cheap to run, but it typically holds less as it ages, so expect a shorter evening from it after a couple of seasons than in its first summer.
Specifications
The manufacturer publishes no LED count, lumen figure, battery capacity, charge time, run time or IP rating for this lantern, so we quote none of them. This page is queued for a direct check against the manufacturer’s listing and will be updated then.
