Designed with iridescent glass the lantern illuminates a bright light with fireflies LEDs making your outdoor space look unreal and stunning. The brightest on test at a whopping 250 lumens, we like the adjustable bulb and solar panel angles, as well as the effective stake for positioning it at the base of trees. We also saw the value of running such a long test, as one of the four lights stopped working just as we were writing up our results. While we like the look of these post lights, as well as the level of light they provide, they don’t offer the best value for money.

This is a useful feature if you don’t have the optimal conditions to charge the solar panel as it slightly dims the light and doubles the run time, but you’ll need to lift out the solar panel to access these controls. This pretty lantern needs no assembly other than leaving it to charge for 48 hours in the off position and is a good choice if you don’t have a south-facing garden, because you can leave it in the sunniest spot during the day to charge and then move it to a shady corner to add a warm glow once it’s dusk.
