I bought this item at the end of August 2020. Thought it was lovely and used it for about 8 weeks before putting it back in its original packaging for safe overwintering. I can not say how disappointed i am on finding the lamp dead and not working despite being left to charge over many sunny days. I can only say it has been a waste of money given the amount of use I had and the care I had taken to keep it safe for this year, eight weeks of use is unacceptable . Not happy I will have to bin it, unfortunately I can not recommend. This is a gorgeous solar light with a pretty pattern from the shapes cut out. Size is just right. I absolutely love it. It hangs nicely on my patio and it's lovely and bright. I think I will buy another and it would make a fabulous present for my sister. Lovely lovely lovely. Very happy. Looks expensive not cheap or tacky. By Kate S. on 27 May 2020 This is a gorgeous solar light with a pretty pattern from the shapes cut out. Size is just right. I absolutely love it.

Looks expensive not cheap or tacky. Really good quality, not a massive Lantern, , however, that did not bother me. The stronger the sun the brighter it is and makes lovely pattern on paving slabs below I would recommend it, you may have to wait a while for delivery, however, you are kept updated Via e mail Footnote: (29thJuly) my solar light does not work now, only had it since back end of May and it was a birthday present from my close friend so very disappointed 2nd footnote (6thAugust) I e mailed the company regarding my lantern not working and in all fairness they were quick to respond and after a couple more e mails back and forth they are sending me a replacement and have told me to be patience as it could take 20-40 days to arrive, they have not asked for the broken one back either. If it arrives and works I will be a happy bunny again 3rd Footnote(sorry) - I received a replacement free of charge very quickly and am pleased to say all is well Really good quality, not a massive Lantern, , however, that did not bother me.

This has not lasted more than 6 months. Serious design fault. In August 2020 We were given one of these lanterns as a present and thought that it was lovely, so bought 2 more for the garden. They all worked well for the remainder of the year but stopped working over winter...which I put down to low sunlight levels. But now that spring is here and the sun is shining more again I expected them to come back on, and they have not . I tried all the advice online about trying new batteries, leaving them off, trying a "regular" battery, without success. So I looked at the bulb, and in all 3 cases one of the connecting wires has rusted through (see photo). Given that all 3 lanterns have failed suggests that this is a systemic design/manufacturing fault rather than a one off occurrence and so would not recommend this product to anyone. I have sent a message to contact Tomshine via their support section on their website, but have not had any response. Given what other people are saying here about their responsiveness I fear that I will not have any joy...so think these will have to be "upcycled" into expensive tea light holders! :( Do not buy this product...it does not last.

They look gorgeous day and night hanging, especially lit up at night displaying a beautiful pattern on my fencing and walls in the garden. Have had them a couple of weeks now and have had no issues with them whatsoever. They charge efficiently and keep hold their charge for a good couple of days/nights until fully charging again. I tend not to leave any of my solar lights out in the rain because I would prefer they not become weather tarnished nor risk their solar powered units, But with the little rain that they did endure the other day, just prior to me noticing it was raining and getting them in, their solar powered units proved to indeed be water resistant. Although again I personally prefer not to allow them to get wet for sustained periods in order to preserve them for longer. These gems are worth that little extra effort so as to keep them working and looking just as good as the day I received them and for as long as possible =).
Good compact camera for med/low light outdoors?
There's something critical to what you want that you are missing. Cameras, especially small pocket toys are never good in low light. They are fully automatic so the camera is making all of your decisions. An upper end bridge or dslr camera is what you really want for low light - especially indoors. A bridge camera is limited also because you can not always get down to the f/stop you need for the available light. No camera will do everything for you and that's what you are apparently expecting - that wo not happen.
