Hanging Solar Lanterns with Flickering LED Candles

Lanterns work really well at creating ambiance. Their amber light combined with a flickering flame can set a relaxing, festive or romantic mood.

They look great on tabletops, but you can also hang them or set them on the ground as pathway lights. Because they are portable and easy to move around, they provide a very versatile lighting option as well.

The Downside of Outdoor Lanterns:

However, candles don’t typically give off a lot of light. Plus, I always worry about leaving them unattended. If I am entertaining or trying to relax, I definitely don’t want to have something extra to worry about.

Why I Like These Solar Lanterns…

So, when I came across these hanging solar lanterns, they got my attention. Now, I don’t have to worry about accidental fires. Plus, I don’t have to remember to turn the lights on.

Plus, they shine more light than a regular candle does. That said, don’t expect them to light up a room or even provide enough light for reading. These are mainly for ambiance rather than as task lighting.

Speaking of which, they still provide plenty of character and charm. Actually, their weathered-looking metal frames and nautical/mission design definitely stack on the classic vintage charm.

In fact, they even add style to your home during the daytime when they are not illuminated. This basically gives you a double bonus when shopping for solar lights.

The Cost Savings of Solar Lanterns…
