Product Information

Full details

This B&Q Garden Lantern in Brown is designed for homeowners looking to add charming, ambient lighting to their outdoor spaces with minimal effort. Its key benefit is the automatic dusk illumination powered by solar energy, providing a warm white glow without electricity costs. A potential caveat is its reliance on direct sunlight for charging, which may limit performance on overcast days or in shaded locations. The lantern features a durable plastic PE construction with a rattan style, a warm white LED with a double filament effect, and is weather-resistant for year-round use. It can be used freestanding or hung, making it versatile for patios, balconies, and garden areas.

What type of LED does it use?

It uses a warm white LED with a double filament effect to create a charming ambiance.

Is the lantern waterproof?

The lantern is weather and water-resistant, designed to withstand outdoor conditions and last outdoors all year round.

What are the dimensions of the lantern?

The dimensions are H 23.5cm x W 22.5cm x D 22.5cm.

What material is the lantern made from?

Troubleshooting

Lantern does not illuminate at night

Ensure the solar panel is receiving direct sunlight for at least 6-8 hours daily. Clean the solar panel with a damp cloth. Check that the lantern is not placed in an area that receives light after dusk (e.g., near streetlights).

Light is dim or does not last long

The battery may not be fully charged due to insufficient sunlight. Relocate the lantern to a sunnier spot. Clean the solar panel. The LED bulb may be nearing the end of its lifespan, though this is uncommon for solar LEDs.

Lantern turns off during the night

This can happen if the battery charge is depleted earlier than usual, often due to overcast weather or insufficient charging time. Ensure optimal sunlight exposure the following day.
