String lights fill a garden with light. This solar lantern gives it character. The Homi Goods Solar Garden Lantern is handcrafted from colourful stained glass mosaic pieces that refract light into shifting patterns across surrounding surfaces when illuminated. Solar-powered with automatic dusk-to-dawn operation, IP44 waterproof rated, and available in Red and Blue cylinder designs — it charges during the day and provides up to 10 hours of illumination at night without any wiring or electricity cost.

Why This Solar Lantern Stands Out

✓ Handcrafted stained glass mosaic — each lantern is individually crafted from coloured glass pieces assembled in a mosaic pattern. When lit, the glass refracts light into rich, jewel-toned patterns on surrounding surfaces
✓ Automatic dusk-to-dawn operation — the built-in light sensor activates the LED automatically at dusk and switches off at dawn. No manual switching, no timers to set
✓ Up to 10 hours illumination per charge — the 600mAh battery stores enough solar energy during a full day's charging to provide 8–10 hours of illumination through the night. Charging time is 4–6 hours of direct sunlight
✓ IP44 waterproof rated — the construction withstands rain splashes, humidity, and typical outdoor weather conditions. Designed for permanent outdoor placement
✓ Hang or place — two display options — includes a hanging hook for branches, pergola beams, or shepherd's hooks, and a flat base for table or surface placement
✓ Zero running cost — entirely solar powered with no wiring, no electricity cost, and no need for outdoor power outlets
✓ Long LED lifespan — the integrated LED has an average lifespan of 60,000 hours, meaning years of nightly use without replacement
✓ Two colour designs — Cylinder-Red and Cylinder-Blue, each producing distinct light patterns at night

Where to Place It

→ Garden and backyard — hang from tree branches or shepherd's hooks to create ambient lighting across the garden at night
→ Patio and deck — hang from patio structure beams or place on outdoor tables for atmospheric evening entertaining
→ Front porch or entryway — hung beside a front door or gate to provide a warm, decorative welcome light
→ Pergola or gazebo — multiple lanterns hung at different heights along a pergola create a layered outdoor atmosphere
→ Balcony — compact enough for balcony use where larger garden lights are impractical

How It Works

1. Solar charging — the solar panel on the lantern's top surface converts sunlight into electrical energy during daylight hours, charging the 600mAh rechargeable battery. A full charge takes 4–6 hours of direct sunlight
2. Automatic activation — the integrated light sensor detects when ambient light falls below a threshold level at dusk and automatically activates the LED, illuminating the mosaic glass from within
3. Light refraction — the coloured mosaic glass pieces refract light differently depending on their colour density and angle, casting rich, shifting patterns of coloured light on surrounding surfaces

How to Set Up and Use

1.Choose a location that receives at least 4–6 hours of direct sunlight during the day for optimal charging
2. Hang from the included hook on a branch, pergola beam, shepherd's hook, or fence — or place on a flat outdoor surface
3. Set the switch to the ON position to enable automatic dusk-to-dawn operation
4. Allow a full day of charging before first use for maximum runtime on the first night
5. The lantern will activate automatically at dusk and switch off at dawn
Tip: For optimal performance, place the lantern where it receives unshaded direct sunlight. Partial shade significantly reduces charging efficiency and nightly runtime.

Care and Maintenance

✓ Wipe the solar panel surface periodically with a soft damp cloth to remove dust that reduces charging efficiency
✓ Clean the glass mosaic with a soft damp cloth — avoid abrasive materials that could scratch or dislodge the glass pieces
✓ If runtime decreases significantly after months of use, the battery may need replacement — contact us for guidance on the correct battery type
✓ During extended winter periods with regular freezing temperatures, switch the lantern OFF and store indoors to preserve battery health
