Full details
This solar-powered Moroccan lantern in green is designed for outdoor enthusiasts looking to add a warm, ambient glow to their patios, courtyards, or gardens. Its key benefit is the automatic illumination of a cozy, warm white light for up to 6 hours nightly after a day's charge, enhanced by its durable, water-resistant Tyvek material. A caveat is its primary suitability for summer use, with recommendations to store it during winter months to preserve its longevity.

FAQs
How long does the light stay on?
Once fully charged, the lantern can provide up to 6 hours of illumination each evening during the summer months.
Is this lantern suitable for all weather conditions?
The lantern is IP44 rated for outdoor use and made of water-resistant Tyvek material, making it suitable for light rain. However, it is recommended to store it away during the winter months to protect it from frost and extreme weather.
What is the best way to charge the lantern?
For optimal charging, hang the lantern in a location that receives direct, unobstructed sunlight for at least 6-8 hours per day. Keep the solar panel clean.
What are the dimensions of the lantern?
The dimensions are approximately (H) 45 x (D) 20cm.
What color is the light emitted?
The lantern emits a warm white LED light.
Can I use this lantern indoors?
While it can be used indoors for decorative purposes, it is designed for outdoor use and relies on direct sunlight to charge its solar battery. It will not charge effectively indoors.
What maintenance is required?
Regularly clean the solar panel with a soft cloth and wipe the Tyvek material with a damp cloth if necessary. Store indoors during winter.
Troubleshooting
Lantern not illuminating at night.
Ensure the lantern received sufficient direct sunlight during the day. Check if the solar panel is clean. Verify that the lantern is not placed in an area that receives artificial light at night, which might prevent the sensor from activating. Ensure the on/off switch (if present) is in the 'on' position.
Short illumination time.
The illumination duration depends on the amount of sunlight received. On cloudy days, or if the charging period was short, the light may not last as long. Clean the solar panel for better efficiency. In summer, expect up to 6 hours; this may be less in cooler, less sunny conditions.
Material appears faded or damaged.
While the Tyvek material is water-resistant, prolonged exposure to intense UV rays without proper care can cause fading. Store the lantern during winter months and consider bringing it in during periods of prolonged, harsh sunlight if preservation is a key concern.
