The light this lantern provides illuminates little more than itself, so you can see where it is in the dark. We do not find it provides any significant illumination even directly beneath it,let alone in the nearby vicinity.Expect little of this and you won't be disappointed.

I purchased two of these, and I will buy more. Very nice looking in the garden. Has hook on top, so I can move them around, and hang them higher for more light. Embarrassed to say that I thought they did not work at first. There is a very discreet on/off button. Read instructions when all else fails!

We have had these lights for over a year and while they are attractive their performace is poor to non-existant. They are very expensive for solar lights and provide almost no light at all. They are on intermittantly and only for a few hours--if that. Disappointing.

I am very pleased with the appearance of this solar lantern. They are very elegant in appearance however I am disappointed with the very low light it puts out. We recently set it out in the yard and most days have been rainy and overcast so I contributed the low light to this but we had one very sunny day which should have charged the solar panel nicely and the light is still very dim.. I'm not sure if additional sunny days will do more but I'm not very optimistic it will. These are fairly pricey and I don't feel buying several of these to give off more light is worth the cost. If you are only looking for elegant but very subtle light, then this lantern is for you but if you want more light, I do not recommend these.
