3960KR1 San Rafael II Solar Mission Lantern Illuminated by 2 High Performance Warm White LEDs In The Top and One Amber LED in the Pillar Candle

Man, I can't say enough good things about this lantern! First of all, tho, make sure you get the shorter one (check with a ruler) rather than the longer one. This shorter one is the one you want! I put mine on a shepherd's hook, one on each opposite side, in the garden near my front door, my front door is my "oasis" and relaxing area, from where I can view all of my favorite things, including these lanterns! And every time I look out my door at night or sit on my porch at dusk, the lanterns just "make" it look PERFECT! They are a "10" in my book!! When other people write negative things about this lantern, like "cheaply made" or whatever, I think you would have to be about a foot away from it to think that, and even then, I DON'T THINK THAT! They look like they could be $100 apiece, and they are so inexpensive! I've had mine out for nearly a year and they are still bright at night (well, it's a subdued brightness, just like you'd expect, not like 140 lumens, more like a 50.) They have lasted beautifully through the snowy winter, also. Love these and highly recommend. My neighbors complement them, too. (Update: 5/25/18, had these babies up for 1 1/2 years now, and love them more than ever!! Even under a grove of aspens (mottled sunlight), they still have enough light to light up well into the wee hours! I wish every solar product had such an excellent energy-collecting solar battery!!)

I really like this light. It was exactly what I was looking for. NOTE: This light will *not* provide a bunch of illumination. I suggest buying a different light if you need to truly light up a specific area. I see this light as purely decoration. It went in our backyard, which is pitch black at night. This lantern provides a pleasing glow in the "black hole" that is a pleasure to look at. I like the design. It has one LED in the faux candle and one LED on the underside of the top. The glow of the light is yellow (rather than harsh white like a lot of solar lights). The weight of the lantern is very light. It turns on at dusk reliably. Currently at our house, it's dark from about 5:30pm until probably 6am. I don't know yet if the light lasts all through the night (it's light outside by the time I get up), but I know the light is still on at 10-11pm when we go to bed, so I know it lasts at least 5-6 hours. I will consider buying more of these lights for other dark spots in the yard.

I have now had these for just short of one year, so I feel I can give a fair review. These are very attractive lanterns. I purchased 2 of them to light my patio. They provided 6-8 hours of light each night, even throughout the colder winter season. After one year, one of the units has required new rechargeable batteries. The other is still going strong. Each uses 3 AAA Nimh rechargeable batteries, which are readily available at Batteries Plus or the hardware store. Changing out the batteries was easy. Two screws to remove the lid, then 3 small screws over the battery case inside. Old batteries out; new batteries in; a day of sunshine and it is back to working beautifully. The only drawback to these lanterns that I see is that they are made of plastic. Plastic won't rust or corrode and the finish has not faded or anything in one year of use. The lanterns sides have not yellowed or clouded. BUT, they are not quite heavy enough to withstand a really strong wind. I had to add some weights to the top without blocking the solar panel to help weight them down. Other than that minor issue, I am very happy with them, and can recommend them. I am considering buying two more.

These lanterns look great just hanging or sitting even when they are off which is fortunate because they only work a couple hours a night and sometimes they won't come on at all. I did everything the directions said but the cheaper ones I bought from the Family Dollar in the Spring put perform them. I wish I hadn't burned the boxes they came in after the first night I saw them working or I would return them. I bought four of these and I don't remember a night since the first 3-4 nights where every lantern is on at the same times. Also when they are on the "burn" time isn't very long. I am hopin Family Dollar has more of the ones I got during the spring this upcoming Spring so I can replace the San Rafael lanterns with them. The solar Family Dollar lanterns come on at dusk and burn until about two hours before dawn. They are half the price of these and work better. I'm hoping I can somehow salvage this situation but I'm not sure how. Again the lanterns are gorgeous wen they are on and off but I would love for them to reliable work. *update: I turned these lanterns off for a few days prior to Halloween so they would burn on trick or treat night and guess what they have worked perfectly since I turned them back on. They still only burn about 6 hours but that's ok because I'm just happy they all light up at the same time. My Family Dollar ones will stay on much longer than them but most people are already asleep by the time these lanterns shut off so it's doesn't hurt my curb appeal. For this reason I am changing my star rating from 2 stars to 4.

This lamp has been amazing. Over 2 years and it continues to shine brightly each night.

Muy buen artículo, me gusto mucho y funciona muy bien. Gracias

We now own three of these lanterns. They look so beautiful when the solar candle glows. They’re sturdy enough to handle 40 km wind gusts which we seem to be having regularly this spring! I definitely recommend this product.

Nunca logré que funcionara

It does an excellent job of lighting the end of my front walk. It is very attractive hanging on a short shepherds hook.

Very attractive, nice size, looks like a candle burning. Light is not very bright, but that was not what I was looking for anyway. I recommend it and would not hesitate to buy it again.
