1.) Great by the Pool

I purchase two of these and place them on either side of the deck near the pool. It is really neat how the design on the panes is reflected to the deck all around the lantern. Absolutely beautiful.

2.) Great table ambient light

I purchased this light for additional table 'ambient' lighting. It is really nicely constructed with metal frame and glass panels. The emphasis here is that this is 'ambient' lighting. Don't expect to read by it. It casts a reflection of the dragonflies onto the table which is fun. I will probably pick up a couple more for other tables in my backyard.


3.) really pretty

I ordered .. I think 6 of these for my patio.. and they just light up every night.. casting dragon fly prints outward. Through rain, and everything.. every night, without fail.. they line my patio. I love em.

4.) Unexpected bonus....cool reflection on table

I wanted solar lights for two tables on the patio and I wanted something with a dragonfly theme to go with a piece of art nearby. These fit the bill and work perfectly. I have had them 3 months now. The unexpected bonus is the way they reflect onto the table at night, making it look like luminescent dragonflys have landed around the table. Even my teenage son and his friends thought it was cool.

5.) My favorite solar light

I have quite a few solar lights, but this is by far my favorite. I've had it for several months now. We have it in the center of a large table on our deck. It stays lit all night, and is a great conversation piece. The light it casts is white (not yellow, or blue as in photo).

Really like this solar light. Have it around our pool - looks great. Nice because it is solar and works great.

7.) Nice but some problems

This lantern does look really great when it lights up at night and it does cast the reflection of dragonflies. The problem I have found is that the compartment that holds the battery is to large allowing the battery to slip off the connection. I have to place the batteries in just right to get the light to turn on and then put the top on as carefully as possible or the battery will fall down and it will turn off. It seems to only take some wind or a hard rain and the battery needs to be positioned again. Also, the lid fits tightly and it's not the easiest to get on and off without feeling as though I am going to crack the glass sides. There is also no on/off button on the outside so you have to remove the lid if you want to turn it on/off.

8.) (Sometimes) Works but Dim

I bought this lamp in hopes of using it to light up my staircase inside my house which has a skylight that receives a lot of light. Unfortunately, the solar cell isn't efficient enough to do that. I really can't figure out how it was intended to be used. The dragonfly pattern that it projects is great but that pattern is best seen indoors against walls and smooth surfaces. But it doesn't work well indoors due to the solar cell. The single LED light inside doesn't seem suited for outdoor light since it's dim... any ambient light, such as from a street light, would drown it out.

What I liked:
------------
+ Nice dragonfly pattern is projected (if you can power up the battery enough with sunlight)
+ Galvanized steel frame is solid and doesn't feel cheap
+ Weather-proof
+ Comes with an optional stake to drive it into soil or the lawn (but you probably won't see any of the dragonfly pattern that way).

What I didn't like:
------------------
- Solar Cell didn't work well for me (A bright skylight during summer should do the trick, but it doesn't).
- Single LED bulb inside is too dim

Other Notes:
-----------------
- If you have young kids, you may not want to use this light either outside or in a play area. The panels (with the dragonfly pattern) are glass and could be dangerous.
- I wouldn't use this in a driveway. I've had friends run over my driveway lights before. The glass panels here would make things worse.

9.) Lasted 6 weeks and then died.

This was really disappointing. Not only is its light produced by a positively miniscule LED that barely even glows, it stopped working altogether as soon as it became ineligible for return. Total waste of money.
