10 Reviews: Best Solar Lanterns (Apr 2024)

Sweet, elegant, and impressive to light up the garden. The Contemporary Radience lantern from Exhart is made of glass and metal cages with Solar-powered LEDs that come ready to hang and enjoy. Automatically, the lights will turn on during the night. This will give an aesthetic impression to your garden or gazebo, surely.

I love the way they turned out. Glows nicely at night.

At first glance, we really like its compact design, mini, and doesn’t require a lot of space. It gives an old feel as if you are living in an abandoned castle with its dragonfly emblem. There are 4 levels of lighting capabilities. The battery can last for 6-8 hours, sufficient to illuminate the yard overnight before dusk appears.

Lights are a bit dim, but lantern looks beautiful

Who wouldn’t fall in love with this lantern? The light produced is clear and bright, but it doesn’t cause annoying glare at night. Suitable for indoor or outdoor use. Due to the construction of aluminum, this lantern is very light to carry. To reduce the carbon footprint, this BUMP lantern is embodied by a tapered 360 degrees diffuser shell. Well, this is worth every penny for sure.

First off, we thought that this is the same type of lamp used in The Greatest Showman film, in fact, yes it is a bit similar, but with a bigger size. These are pathway lights that are supported by an IP44 waterproof rating, so you don’t have to worry if it rains or snows suddenly.

Shines so bright and perfect for illuminating every corner of the room. The Tansoren lantern comes with 3 individual COB LED strips which are intended for a longer lifespan and perform 360 degrees of luminous light with support for energy-saving mode. In addition, so that the lanterns stay still, it is equipped with four magnets on the bottom. We can assure you that the lantern from Tansoren is suitable for all activities.

I like the versatility and brightness of these lights. You can charge via solar or plug them into you household AC current. They also take 3 [three] AA batteries, if needed. There is a hook for hanging the light and two folding handles for holding, carrying or hanging. Basically, I am happy with them and more than likely will order more. Will keep one in our vehicles for emergencies. And no, I do not work for the company nor am I getting paid for this review. It is my honest opinion.

Another solar-powered lantern. This is equipped with a USB port for charging your smart devices. For this lantern, it can only be lit for up to 3 hours, so it is suitable for use as lighting when you are holding low-key camping in the backyard of your house. Lightweight, portable, versatile, and durable with the ability to withstand weather impacts well.

I used these solar powered beauties during a recent week-long kayak/camping trip in the Florida Keys and was absolutely amazed. They are light, compact, and simple to use. Much more efficient and useful than a headlamp. Use a mini-carabiner to hang on the inside of your tent for plenty of light for reading and fishing around for your stuff!

Tiny and is a 2-in-1 lantern (can be used for lighting lanterns or flashlights). The Operkey LED lantern provides a 100% satisfaction guarantee and a lifetime guarantee as customer protection. It is equipped with two charging ways, so you can still use it even though the sun doesn’t appear for days.

Seems like a cheaply made product but worked great on the boat last week. Our mast anchor light quit so I tied this to a line and ran it up the pole. Worked all night bouncing around in a pretty good chop. During the day I left it out in the sun and it recharged then used it again next night. 8 hours later it was still making light.

Features 7 lumens super bright LED. The light projected by its frame pattern is a mood for a romantic dinner. Made of durable stainless steel, this has super good resistance against harsh weather. Long-lasting with battery support that can run for up to 8 hours when fully charged.

Functions well. Very nice light pattern. The single bulb shining thru the cutout enclosure does a great job producing a light pattern reflection. I found a hanger (hobby lobby) that I put on my fascia board. It extends beyond my gutters far enough that the lantern gets enough sunshine to charge. At night, the lantern produces an interesting light pattern on the side of my house and the patio.

Realistic flickering flames design that comes with IP65 waterproof grade. The TOFU Solar Lantern emits warm yellow colored light, making it quite similar to the real glaring fire. The ambiance color gives a friendly, inviting, and perfect feel to chill at night in the garden, home, or patio. Then, to make it easier for you to mount it anywhere and everywhere, this is equipped with a clamp and a ring. No wires needed. For the record, the charging time takes about 6-8 hours.

I was skeptical of these solar lamps as having purchased others only to see them cease working within a relatively short period of time. By contrast, these have been reliable, pleasant to see, and useful as guides through a rather complicated backyard garden. My hope is they will last.

You will get 8 packs at a time for less than 50 bucks. Such a great bargain to light up the pathways in your garden. For its size, this is super small, adorable, yet robust and sturdy built. The light will turn on automatically when the sun goes down, but if you want to light it up manually there is also an optional On / OFF switch.

These just mighty be my favourite purchase for anything yard related. I am using them to illuminate my front yard walkway to the porch. I really enjoy the candle lantern style, it's uniquely different from the other awn lights that you normally see. The lights are a perfect brightness. Overall im happy.
