Just received these. 2 to a package. Small, very light, attractive design, relatively small solar panels on top. Fit and finish are fine.One important feature that I like about these lanterns is there is no bottom plate, so the light emitter is free to illuminate a full circle below the hanging light as well as out the sides. UPDATE: Its not as bright as the photo promises.Hanging wire bail and hooks include a versatile 'alligator' style clip for attaching to a wire or umbrella frame, so very versatile options for hanging.The box states they will illuminate for up to 8 hours, 2 hours of light for each hour of sunlight charging. There's no indication of how many Lumens these put out. There's an On-Off switch for the lights. UPDATE: dim. I guesstimate from 2 to 4 lumens max.The instructions state that, before first use, these lights need to be left in the sun charging for two days (48 hours) with the automatic light sensor turned Off, so the battery absorbs but cannot discharge energy. I've never had a solar light require that before. Not sure if that means the Ni-Mh batteries are of substandard rating, or have memory effect issues, or what.Anyway, I'll be charging these in the sun for the next 2 days. Then I'll try out the lights for a few nights.And then I'll update this review with whether I'm satisfied with these lights.UPDATE: OK, after charging the lights for the suggested 48 hours, these are hard to describe. You'll love 'em or hate 'em. They are designed to a very different aesthetic than the standard Home Depot solar lawn/garden lights.They are dim, as other reviewers have stated. I will guesstimate between 2 to 4 Lumens. Most lawn solar lights at Home Depot nowadays are 6 to 10 lumens, for comparison.The light quality is unusual-- "ghostly", like pale moonlight from a strong full moon. It's slightly blue in tint. The lantern globe itself does not "light up" from a distance. The light is about as strong as an LED light you might find on a phone charger to indicates its working.Indoors, hung overhead in a dark room, it casts a distinct wide circle of pale light underneath and gives enough light to navigate by, not enough light to read or do detailed tabletop tasks YMMV.Hung outside on a patio it gives a subtle 'moonlight' effect that is very different from a candle or typical yard and garden solar light.So if you want very subtle moonlight effect, and that's all you want, these are the lights for you. They would be nice for use in a dim corner or possibly a stealth camping use, but one by itself is not sufficient light to hang over an outdoor dinner table for 6 people to try to eat by. Garden path lighting, yes. When suspended at 6' they throw off a light circle of at least 12 feet radius.They did glow steadily for 6 hours before I turned them off (switch is on underside by the light emitter). They do throw off a strong shadow like the ad photo, but it's been photoshopped to make the light appear whiter and higher wattage. The bulbs are plastic, like 2-liter soda bottles, light passes right through without glare so the lantern globe itself doesn't 'light up' like most 'frosted 'solar lanterns.For the low price I'll definitely keep them. That low price means you might want to compensate for the low Lumens level by just getting a bunch and scattering them around your area...they're compact and extremely light and definitely cheap. No idea as to longevity.For a Prepper looking to prolonged power outages, these offer more possibilities than as landscape lights. Hung indoors they are like a nightlight, enough light to navigate a room and locate objects and do familiar tasks. One per room might be a good plan.They're easy to walk around with as a personal lantern, ultralight and the hanging loop with alligator clip makes it possible to clip it to a pack strap, a jacket, anything. Would be a good camping hammock or tent light, where subtlety is good and you're not trying to illuminate a large area for evening parties.I bought 10 packages of these lights to place on my 20 variably-sized concrete steps that had absolutely no light source. I live in the lower level of my mother's house as her caretaker, and wanted something that would cast enough light for people to see where each step ended and the next started. I also didn't want the hassle of sticking stakes into the horribly hard ground we've got, nor was I sure how to place those due to the variability of the steps and the surrounding ground; some staked lights would end up lower in height than the step itself and I thought they'd look kind of...stupid, LOL!I haven't had them long enough to know about durability but...I don't plan on leaving them outside in the elements (I'm in Northern California and we get no rain for months on end), and I really just plan on using them when I'm expecting people to come over, bringing them inside and turning them off when not in use, or leaving just a few out for looks.No, they don't cast a ton of light. But I placed them on the edge of each step to show where the one ended and the next started, and they're perfect. They cast just enough light so that people won't fall down the steps, which range from 2 feet to 4 feet long. I kind of wish I'd gotten a few more to continue lighting the few more steps that continue past the door to the porch, and I'll likely buy some.I let them charge for two days in the sun, off, as directed and turned them on for the first time last night. They lasted all night long, and are seriously gorgeous on my steps. I love the pattern cast by the lantern.For my purposes, they're perfect.When I first received these, they didn't work very well. They didn't hold a charge more than a few minutes, even if they'd been in the light all day. Full disclosure: this is in Seattle in December on my north facing deck. So, not much light is available each day.I discovered that the batteries it comes with are only 300 mA/h, which might be part of the reason that they didn't last long. It may also be that the batteries were old from sitting in stock for a while, or maybe they need a lot more hours of brighter light to fully charge. In any case, I replaced them with some 2500 mA/h batteries that I had. Both old and new are 1.2v AAs. Starting with a full charge, the higher capacity batteries have held up well so far, i.e. they stay on all night. It's only been a few days, so we'll see if the solar panels can really keep up.Aside from all that, they work as advertised. They're small and not very bright, but they do a nice job of adding a little light to a small area. I hung them from some very light chain on my deck to light up a seating area. They come with a ring and alligator clip for different hanging options, and the auto on/off feature works perfectly.Got the 2-pack of these solar LED lanterns. The day I hung them up outside, with no umbrella or other covering mind you, there was a rain storm. And then there was a hail storm. And then a couple days later there was a late snow storm. After all of that, the lanterns are still intact and as functional as they were out of the box. That said, the LED in these lanterns is fairly dim, so set your expectation level to get some ambiance only out of these things and you'll likely find them satisfactory. Just to see if there would be any improvement with the LED brightness, I replaced the cheap, 300 mAh rechargeable battery from one of the lanterns with a 1600mAh Duracell battery. With the Duracell, there was no noticeable increase in brightness, but maybe if I got up early and checked, I'd see that one lantern lasting longer than the other, but I'm not going to bother.For only under $20 (including shipping) for the pair, it's not too much of a risk to give these solar lanterns a try. If you want better lighting performance, you'll simply have to spend more.Had to buy new batteries, expiry date on them is 2015 and won’t charge. 6 yr old batteries, lights are nice but paid same for new batteries. Don’t bother with these lightsThey were alittle smaller than I thought. But they do give off a fair amount of light.works great, very well pricesA little small but it's ok, thanks!Smaller than expected... guess there should be size info in the description. Purchased them to hang outside my barn board fence/gate. Will see how they hold up.
