Description
Specifications
This solar lantern is built around one effect: a warm LED that flickers like a candle flame. It is the detail that separates a lantern you notice from a lantern that simply glows, and it is the reason this shape has been a fixture of garden and patio lighting for years. The light is soft, moving and amber, closest to a real candle behind glass, but with no flame, no wax and nothing to blow out in the wind.
The design follows a traditional palace or coach lantern - a tapered body, a crown above and a hanging ring at the top - which gives it a vintage look that suits a period garden, a courtyard, a patio or an event as easily as a modern terrace. A hanging rope is attached, so it can go up on a branch or a hook straight out of the box with no fittings to buy.
Power is entirely solar. The panel charges a built-in battery through the day and the lantern lights automatically at dusk, so there is no wiring, no plug and no running cost. Batteries are included and the LED is built in, so nothing needs sourcing separately. This is decorative atmosphere lighting for gardens, patios, yards, balconies and outdoor event decor rather than a security or task light.
Setting Up and Hanging
Choose an outdoor position that gets direct sunlight during the day - a tree branch, a patio hook, a pergola beam or a balcony railing. Use the attached hanging rope to secure the lantern, checking that it is stable and hung at a safe height where it will not be walked into or knocked by a door. A lantern that swings freely in wind should be tied with a little less slack.
Locate the on/off switch on the base or side of the lantern and slide it to ON to activate the lighting mode. From then on the lantern charges by day and lights at dusk without further input. For best results, charge it in direct sunlight for six to eight hours before the first evening's use.
Where It Works Best
Hanging is the most attractive use: from trees, pergolas, porch hooks, shepherd's hooks, fences, arches and balcony rails. A group of three at staggered heights reads considerably better than a single lantern, and the flicker from several units at slightly different rhythms is what creates the impression of real candlelight across a space.
It can also be set down on an outdoor table, a step, a wall top or a path edge, which makes it a practical alternative to tea lights for an evening outdoors. Beyond everyday garden use it suits weddings, parties and seasonal displays where a warm flickering light is wanted and open flame is not welcome.
Charging and Placement
Solar performance is decided almost entirely by where you hang it. The panel needs direct sun rather than ambient daylight, and a position that is sunny in midsummer can be in full shade by autumn as the sun drops. If the lantern lights only briefly in the evening, the answer is nearly always a sunnier spot rather than a fault.
Keep the panel clear of overhanging foliage, and avoid hanging the lantern where a security light, porch light or street lamp shines directly on it, as ambient light can stop the dusk sensor triggering. Clean the panel regularly with a dry cloth to remove dust, pollen and debris, since dirt reduces charging efficiency noticeably.
Care and Safety
The lantern is weatherproof for normal outdoor conditions, but avoid submerging it and bring it in during heavy storms or snow, as prolonged extreme weather can reach internal components. Store it somewhere dry and cool with the switch off during long periods of non-use to extend battery life.
The flame effect is an LED and there is no real flame, so there is no fire risk from the light itself and no hot surface, which makes it a sensible alternative to candles around planting, fabric awnings and children. There is no bulb to change; the LED and the battery are built in.

Weekends and applicable public holidays are not counted as business days.

Most orders are therefore expected to arrive within approximately:
7–14 business days from the date the order is placed.

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.
