Oh wow, Cheryl — this looks absolutely gorgeous! The Luxury Metal Solar Lanterns suit your space perfectly, and the ambience is just dreamy. So happy you love them! Thank you for the amazing recommendation — can’t wait to see your collection grow! 🌟
I tried to resist buying these thinking it was just another cheap gimmicky low quality lantern. We have just moved into a lodge in a wildlife estate and had to give into my urge for some solar lanterns by our fire pit and rim-flow pool. The photos and videos don’t do these lanterns justice. Really excellent quality and work as advertised and way better than I was hoping. We are going to order a few more. We are in love!
We love sitting on the patio on a balmy night under the soft glow of our solar light. It creates a lovely atmosphere and looks good on the table...and it is a good converation piece as I brag about it to my guests. I have two and cannot wait to get two more. But first the solar wall lighting!
I am absolutely thrilled that I finally bought 2 of these beautiful outdoor lamps. They are sturdy and give off the right amount of light with the dimming button ! Very useful that they can be USB charged too !! Would recommend 💯 !! I may even buy some more …. Thank you for a fantastic product !!
The Great White House restaurant in Kleinbaai has an outdoor area where we use Litehouse lights in our trees and lanterns on our tables. We get a lot of compliments for the lights, and we are happy to have a perfect cordless solution for our needs. It is a rust-free and weatherproof solution for a venue close to the sea.

I bought 2 lanterns and 4 wall lights. Absolutely love them and am purchasing more!
Store owner replied:
Thank you for the glowing review, Perri✨We’re so happy you love your lights. If you ever need more, we’re always here to help!
I love, love these lights. Classy build elegant, minimalist and yet robust and can handle outdoors. Works exactly as you would expect. You can charge with USB if you are having people round and the weather is grey, but mostly in the right position for solar charging during the days it last for hours
I bought 2 , tried them out and immediately bought another 4.
I highly recommend

These lanterns are the best. Get the white for even more light (it reflects off the base). 100% reliable; I won't buy any others.

Loving my solar lantern. Beautiful made and great quality. Love the soft down light when in use in my lounge and because it is portable I am able to use it on my enclosure veranda as well when I have guests.

Thank you for the glowing review, Lisa✨We’re so happy you love your lights!
I have been a client of Lighthouse for 6 years now and my string lights are still operating perfectly. The solar lanterns are the perfect companion to my string lights and create a magical atmosphere for our outdoors area. We love giving them as gifts and our friends and family love receiving them. Keep up the good work.

It was like a real present when they were delivered. Nicely wrapped and they look beautiful. These 2 were for our own but I will order extra for our lodge.
