Uchenna Copper Outdoor Solar Lantern

The duration of the light depends on the amount of direct sunlight the integrated solar panel receives during the day. For the best nighttime performance, we recommend placing the lantern in an area with maximum sun exposure. Under optimal conditions, a full day of charging will provide several hours of decorative light throughout the evening.

Although the lantern is designed for outdoor use, our care guides recommend bringing it indoors during harsh winter months or periods of extreme weather. Storing the unit in a dry place during freezing temperatures helps protect the rechargeable battery and ensures the metal finish remains in top condition for the following season. Note that partial assembly may be required upon initial setup or after seasonal storage.

This lantern is built for outdoor conditions, featuring a globe-shaped metal shade with a protective copper-colored finish. While metal with protective coatings is resilient against rust and fading, we recommend occasional maintenance in high-moisture or salt-air environments. Wiping the surface with mild soap and water can help prevent buildup and preserve the elegant copper shade.

This lantern features an intricate, "Zen" inspired punched pattern designed to mimic the look of cascading dewdrops. When illuminated, the metal shade casts enchanting and complex light patterns across your outdoor space. It is designed primarily as an ambient accent piece to create a serene and inviting atmosphere in a garden or on a patio.

Yes, this lantern is an excellent choice for compact spaces. While its 18-inch dimensions make it a substantial statement piece, its ability to be used as a pendant lamp allows you to add style and light without taking up valuable floor space. Its "Zen" design provides a calming aesthetic that works well for creating a private retreat on a smaller balcony or porch.

To maintain peak charging efficiency, it is important to keep the integrated solar panel free of obstructions. Based on our expertise with solar lighting maintenance, we suggest dusting the panel regularly with a soft cloth. Removing dirt, pollen, and debris ensures the sun's rays can reach the panel directly, which prevents the light from becoming dim.
