Description
Specifications
This solar lantern is the more substantial kind: real clear glass and quality metal rather than tinted plastic, which is what makes it look elegant on a wall in daylight and not just at night. Two lighting options are offered and they are genuinely different - a flickering flame effect that moves like a candle, and a steady warm white bulb effect. Please distinguish between the two when ordering, since it changes the character of the light completely.
There is no wiring and no running cost. The solar panel converts daylight into electricity and the lantern switches on automatically at night, so there are no cables to run to a fence or a garden wall and nothing to add to the electricity bill. Set-up is quick and painless: the included screws and brackets fix it to an exterior wall or a wooden fence, or it can hang from a shepherd's hook, a plant hook or a wall hook instead.
The system runs a 5V 80mA panel into a 3.7V 18650 lithium cell rated at 1200mAh, giving roughly 15 hours of working time from a 6 to 8 hour charge. The metal body is chosen to stand up to the elements without rusting or wearing, and protection is rated IP44 against rain and splashing. A switch sits under the light cover and needs turning on before first use. The lantern carries a two year warranty.
Flame Effect or Warm White
The flame version uses a moving LED array to imitate the flicker of a real candle, and in a group of two or three the slightly different rhythms create a convincing impression of live flame across a patio or a fence line. It reads as atmosphere rather than illumination, and it is the better choice for entertaining, dining outdoors and seasonal displays.
Mounting and Set-Up
Installation needs no wiring. Use the supplied screws and brackets to fix the lantern to a masonry wall, a garage or shed wall, or a wooden fence panel, choosing a height where it is clear of doors and walkways. Alternatively hang it from any hook that gets sunlight - shepherd's hooks in a border, plant hooks under a pergola, or a simple wall hook.
Turn on the switch under the light cover before first use, and give the lantern a full 6 to 8 hours in direct sunlight before expecting a full evening's run. Choose the style you want at the point of ordering, as the listing covers more than one option. Batteries for any remote control are not included.
Where It Works Best
The lantern suits a porch, a garage or outbuilding wall, a fence line, a walkway, a patio, a yard, a cabin or shed, a chicken coop or a garden gate. Because the glass is clear and the metal is substantial, it does not look out of place on the front of a house, which is more than can be said for most solar lights.
Along a fence, a run of three or four at even spacing is what turns individual lights into a scheme - roughly 1.5 to 2.5 metres apart at the same height. Beside a door, mount at around eye level or a little above so the glow is welcoming rather than glaring as you approach.
Care and Safety
IP44 covers rain and splashing but not immersion, so avoid positions that flood or where a sprinkler plays directly on the unit, and bring the lantern in during prolonged storms or heavy snow. Wipe the solar panel with a dry cloth every few weeks, since dust and pollen cut charging efficiency more than most people expect.
The flame is an LED effect, not a real flame, so there is no fire risk from the light and no hot surface - which makes it a safer choice than candles near planting, fabric awnings and children. For long winter storage, switch the lantern off and keep it somewhere dry and frost-free to preserve the lithium cell.

Processing includes preparing, verifying and transferring your order to the appropriate carrier or fulfilment partner.
Weekends and applicable public holidays are not counted as business days.
Estimated Delivery Time
After your order has been processed and dispatched, estimated transit time is generally:
6–10 business days
Most orders are therefore expected to arrive within approximately:
7–14 business days from the date the order is placed.
Delivery times are estimates rather than guaranteed delivery dates.
Occasional delays may occur because of carrier disruption, severe weather, high seasonal demand, customs processing, transportation disruption, incorrect delivery information or other circumstances outside our reasonable control.

Enjoy free standard shipping on every product at Eluma Lighting.
Free shipping applies to all orders, whether you purchase one product or multiple products. There is no minimum order value and no minimum quantity required.
Free standard shipping is available for eligible delivery addresses within the United States. No standard shipping charge will be added at checkout.
Order Tracking
Where tracking is available, tracking information will be provided after your order has been dispatched.
Please allow a short period after dispatch for tracking information to become active. A carrier may need time to register the first scan or shipment movement.
Tracking may occasionally remain unchanged while a parcel is moving between carrier facilities, undergoing customs processing or being transferred between delivery partners.
A temporary lack of tracking updates does not necessarily mean that your parcel has stopped moving.
Fulfilment Locations
Eluma Lighting operates from the United Kingdom and serves customers in the United States.
Products may be stored and dispatched from third-party fulfilment facilities or supplier warehouses in different regions or countries, depending on the product and its availability.
The use of a supplier or third-party fulfilment partner does not change Eluma Lighting's responsibility for the order or customer support.
Multiple-Item Orders
Where an order contains several products, the items may occasionally be fulfilled from different locations.
This means you may:
- Receive separate tracking numbers
- Receive more than one package
- Receive packages on different days
- Receive part of your order before the remaining items
You will not be charged an additional shipping fee solely because an order is divided into multiple parcels.
Free standard shipping applies to all products and orders, even if multiple items are dispatched separately.

Delivery Delays
If your order has not arrived within the expected delivery period, please contact Eluma Lighting so that we can review the available tracking and shipment information.
Where appropriate, we may contact the relevant carrier or fulfilment partner to investigate the delay.
A temporary tracking delay does not necessarily mean that a parcel has been lost.

If tracking information or a carrier investigation confirms that a parcel has been lost in transit, please contact us.
Depending on the circumstances and product availability, Eluma Lighting may provide an appropriate replacement or refund.

If you receive an unexpected request for an import or customs payment and are unsure whether it is legitimate, contact contact@elumalighting.store before making the additional payment.
Eluma Lighting will not intentionally advertise a delivery price while hiding a mandatory shipping charge that we know a customer must pay in order to receive the order.

You may request cancellation within 24 hours of placing your order, provided that the order has not already been fulfilled or shipped.
