Lampe sur pied d'extérieur à piles 8,25 "Thompson (Ensemble de 2)

Even with all day direct light these bulbs only stay on for an hour maybe two.

Like a number of other reviewers, I was sad that this is actually a solar lantern. (Thanks to the other reviewers, though, I was aware of this prior to ordering.) For others who wanted a truly battery-powered, non-solar lantern: I don't know how this will work out long-term, but I was able to easily lift the solar compartment off the top of the lantern (it isn't glued or screwed in at all), remove two small screws, and swap the AAA solar battery for a AAA rechargeable battery. At least so far, the solar panel is still controlling when the light comes on/off. (In the sun the lantern still turns off.) If you want to hang this lantern in a shady place but will be able to easily access it to change the batteries, this could work!

Ok. So these are really good lanterns, and I would give them 5 stars except for two reasons 1) I purchased these because they said they were battery powered, and yes, they do have batteries, but these are solar powered, and as such, have to be placed in a sunny location. I had purchased them for a shady area and had to change my plans. I believe it is misleading to state that these are battery powered. That being said, they are excellent solar powered lanterns that look really nice, and hold a charge for a long time. I was up at 400 am and they were still lit 2) although someone had taken the time to remove most of the stickers on the bottom of the boxes (I ordered 8 of these), it was still apparent that these had been at some point sold at Marshall’s, as the stickers were not completely removed. More troubling still was the fact that the sticker from Marshall’s indicated that these lanterns were 14.00 each, while I paid around 25.00 per lantern. I feel misled and hoodwinked. Not only are these lanterns not battery powered as that term is usually meant, they also were obtained at some discount from Marshall’s and sold at an up-charge to the gullible idiot that is me. It really undermines my faith in the products carried by Wayfair, though I will say that I have been uniformly pleased with everything I have ordered heretofore. So, had I known that these were solar powered rather than battery powered, and had the Marshall’s stickers been completely removed so that I could have remained blissfully ignorant of Wayfair’s duplicity, I would have given these 5 stars. As it is, I think 3 stars is generous. I am sorely disappointed, even though these lanterns are quite nice for what they are.

The name is deceiving and clearly I didnt read the info in full. I really thought these were Battery operated lights..they are solar and light very litttle...so now Im searching again for what I really needed.

These are very nice. Good quality. Nice old fashioned yellow lighting. Looks beautiful in my gardens. Oh they are solar powered not battery but works well, lighting is bright enough.
