Add a touch of Moroccan flair to your garden or patio with this Navaris Outdoor Solar Lantern Light. This unique lantern combines decorative charm with practical solar power, allowing you to create a warm and inviting atmosphere in your outdoor space. The spherical design features a metal frame and a detailed bronze silhouette, casting beautiful patterns when illuminated at night.
Perfect for those looking to enhance their garden décor or add subtle lighting to their patio area, this lantern is easy to use – simply place it on a table or hang it up using the integrated handle. The built-in sensor automatically switches the LED light on when ambient brightness drops below 15 Lux, mimicking natural twilight conditions, and remains off while charging in direct sunlight. Charging typically takes around 12 hours with ample daylight exposure.
This solar lantern utilises a single SMD LED bulb emitting a warm neutral white glow (4000K) with a luminous flux of approximately 5 Lumen. It’s powered by a rechargeable 1.2V AA 1000mAh nickel metal hydride battery, included within the unit. The IP44 rating offers protection against splashes, although it's not designed for submersion.
Consider that the small solar panel benefits from a bright, open location to maximise charging efficiency. This versatile lantern is constructed with durable plastic and metal components, ensuring longevity and a robust design, offering an attractive and functional addition to your outdoor setting.
