Regal Glass/Metal 23.5 in. Solar Hot Air Balloon Outdoor Hanging Lantern

Beautiful patriotic solar hot air balloon. Quality made with real glass for awesome light up effects. The lights really look like flames. My 3 year old grandson saw it lit up and said " it's hot Mam maw". Would make great gift for Mother's day. (My mother loved mine.)

I try to add or change something about my patio every few years. There are years that I don't find anything I like so everything stays the same as before. This year I've made a few changes, but something was missing. I wanted something small to add to my new patio furniture but couldn't figure out what it needed. Then I saw this thing and my decision was easy! It's bigger than I originally thought. Much nicer too! It's heavy but not cumbersome. Well constructed with glass and metal as the major components. The flaming light is beautiful, but difficult to capture in a photo. Provides a nice ambiance for evenings on the patio. It would also be nice for a gazebo or to have many of them lining a pathway. But I only needed one for my small space. It's solar charged battery has a long life. It charged for only a few hours under a cloudy sky and still remained active until sunrise today. I waited until this evening before turning on so that it follows a schedule of complete dark to early lucky. It sets itself up to power on and off based on available light. If it's bright, it turns off. Dark and it turns itself on. All based on the time you turned it on originally. The simulated flame is very much like that of an actual hot air balloon, making it so much more awesome! I like everything about this thing and I can't wait until dark so that I can watch it do it's thing as I relax the day away. By far the coolest lantern I've ever seen.
