light the night
Inspired by intricately patterned lanterns from Mediterranean bazaars, these lights are designed for year-round use outdoors. Best of all, they’re solar paneled. Just charge the battery pack in direct sunlight for six hours, and the photosensor will turn the lantern on automatically when it gets dark enough.
