Reviews of Antique-Look Solar Hanging Door Lantern By Collections Etc

Customer Ratings:

Most all of the solor lights I have seen, only last a few hours after dark. I am imprest, as this lantern is pretty bright and is still going strong when I have get up for a potty run at 6 AM. I mounted it on an unused bird feeder rod that hangs off the back deck. It lights up about a 12 foot area of post and deck area: Larry

Works well to light up back patio at night. No light switch to turn on, just Az sun from daytime.

The only good thing about this item is that it is beautiful, but the light is sooooo poor. I doesn't illuminate anything around it, it has only one led and a very small solar panel. I wonder why the manufacturer sets up only one sad LED in such a big lamp, why not two or three? The only thing this lamp can make for you is decorate you house, nothing else, forget about light if that't what you are looking for. I know some other lights that have only one led and perform 1000 times better.

Honest reviews on Antique-Look Solar Hanging Door Lantern By Collections Etc

I really like the quality of the hanging door lanterns. They look great on both sides of the door of my storage house but they do not light up as much as I wished. I cut an old mirror in pieces and put it in the bottom of the lanterns and the LED light reflecting on the mirror made it a little brighter.

I'd have to disagree with Larry Wittners review about the brightness of this lantern.

The other reviewers are correct, there is very little useful light produced from this lantern and there are smaller led units that give off a lot more useful light at ½ the cost. While not hard to put together, the panels are made of frosted glass and could break and/or cut you if not careful. While the lantern can be seen from a good distance at night with a bluish glow, there is almost no usable light up close. Due to the small amount of light produced by this lantern I would not recommend this be used to help get around at night. This lantern is best suited for display purposes and will add a nice antique look to the area.

Pros:

Antique look, one of the best looking solar lanterns on the market today

Duration of light/glow can last most of the night under the right conditions.

Can be seen from a good distance, like a bluish beacon.

Above average quality of materials

Cons:

Almost no useful light, not recommended as a source of light to get around safely

Frosted glass, while stylish appears to diminish amount light given off by lantern

Cost If buying as a solar light source, there are less stylish units available that give off much more light at about ½ the cost.
