Exhart Hanging Lantern

Yes, for optimal performance, place the lantern in a spot that receives direct sunlight throughout the day. While it may still charge in partial shade, the duration and brightness of the glow at night will be significantly reduced.

The lantern is designed for outdoor use with durable glass and metal construction, but it is best to bring it indoors during extreme weather conditions or harsh winters to protect the solar components and finish.

Unlike a single bulb, the 15 individual LED firefly lights create a scattered, sparkling effect inside the glass. This provides a softer, more ambient glow rather than a directional beam of light.

The lantern features an automatic sensor that turns the lights on at dusk and off at dawn, provided the battery has sufficient charge. There is typically an internal switch to turn the unit completely off if you want to store it or disable the lighting.

The lantern weighs approximately 0.998 kg (about 2.2 pounds). A standard garden hook or sturdy shepherd's hook designed for hanging plants will easily support its weight.
