The patio goes dark, outlets are far
Patios, decks and balconies rarely have an outlet where you actually sit, so the evening either stays dark or means running an extension cord. Candles blow out and drip, and cheap plastic stake lights give a cold, dim glow and fall apart after a season outside.
- Charges itself in daylight — nothing to plug in, nothing to switch on
- Warm 2700K light instead of the blue-white glare of plastic stake lights
- Aluminum frame rated IP55, with no glass panes to crack or shatter
What it does, and how
One button, one warm tone, and a panel that handles the charging.
Charges in daylight
A 2W monocrystalline panel on top refills the LiFePO4 battery in about 8 hours of good sun. No cord, no outlet, no wiring.
Dusk-to-dawn sensor
Hold the button 3 seconds while the lantern is on. From then on it lights up at dusk and shuts off at dawn by itself.
Three warm levels
Tap the button for 105, 230 or 350 lumens, all at 2700K. Low for a long dinner, full power for the steps.
Up to 26 hours
26 hours at 105 lumens, 12 at 230, 8 at 350. One sunny day covers a weekend of evenings on the low setting.
USB-C backup
After a grey week, a 5V/1A USB-C top-up takes about 4 hours. The port sits under the head behind a tethered rubber plug.
What it doesn't do
This is table and path light, not security lighting — 350 lumens won't cover a driveway. No app, no remote, no dimmer dial, no color change.
Where it ends up most evenings
Same lantern, three spots it tends to live in.
Who this lantern is for
Great for
- Patios and balconies with no outdoor outlet nearby
- Evening dinners that need warm, low table light
- Renters who can't wire or drill anything in
- Anyone who wants light they never switch on
Not the right pick if
- You need to light a driveway or whole yard
- You want a wall bracket or ground stake
- You want app control, dimming or color change
An open frame that pools light downward
The LED sits in the underside of the head and fires straight down into an empty square of air, so the frame stays dark and the base plate does the glowing.
- Recessed warm 2700K LED module in the underside of the head
- Four slim square posts, open on all four sides — no glass, no diffuser
- Solid base plate catches the beam and bounces it low across the table

Getting the first evenings right
Three things that decide how long the light lasts.
Charge it first
Give it a full USB-C top-up before the first evening, about 4 hours, so day one isn't cut short.
Find the sun
Leave it where the top panel sees open sky all day. Shade or an awning means a shorter evening.
Then set the sensor
With the lantern on, hold the button 3 seconds. After that, leave it alone — it handles dusk and dawn.

What people ask most
Is it bright enough for my patio?
It puts out 105, 230 or 350 lumens at 2700K, aimed down onto the base plate. That's table, step and path light for a seating area — not driveway or yard coverage.
How long does one charge last, and how do I charge it?
Up to 26 hours at 105 lumens, 12 at 230, 8 at 350. The top panel takes about 8 hours of good sun; the included USB-C cable (5V, 1A) tops it up in about 4 hours.
Can it stay outside in rain?
It's rated IP55, so dust and water jets are fine, and the aluminum frame has no glass panes. Keep the rubber plug pressed into the USB-C port. Don't submerge it, pressure-wash it, or leave it in pooled water.
How do I clean it?
Wipe the solar panel with a damp cloth whenever it looks dusty, since a dirty panel charges slowly. Clean the body with mild soap and water and dry it. Skip abrasive pads and solvents.
What's in the box?
One solar metal lantern, one USB-C charging cable and a user manual. It's free-standing and portable — no ground stake, wall bracket or mounting hardware is included.
Does it work in winter or in a shaded spot?
It still works, but runtime follows the sun. Short winter days or a shaded corner mean less charge, so use the low setting or top it up indoors by USB-C.
