Solar Waterproof Color Changing Globe

We travelled to the islands and the resort where we stayed had something like this in their courtyard. My wife loved them...so, of course I looked for something like them to put in our back yard. I purchased 2 different globes, this one and one that required a charger. Pound for pound this globe performed extremely well and I am satisfied with it. It works as advertised, gives off a decent amount of light, is weatherproof, etc.. HOWEVER, it does have its limitations. Since it is solar charged you need a good long day of sunshine for it to work well and work long. With a good charge it lasted around 5 hours for me. If the day was overcast or partly sunny, it may have worked for a shorter time or not at all. If you live where you get a lot of sun the majority of the time these will serve you well. If you live in a location like I do where you have a lot of overcast days you must know they may not be to your liking. I am ok with it as I use it only for occasions. If I wanted it to be lit every day I would get the larger, chargeable globe that is also twice the price. I do have one of these and they are better but also way more expensive. So it depends on what you want it for, how you wish to use it, and where you live. I still gave it 5 stars as it did everything it claimed. We are happy with it.
