'Lovely' £30 solar light that makes any garden look 'absolutely adorable'
Amazon shoppers keen to add a touch of 'fairy-like' charm to their gardens love the whimsical £30 light
Amazon is selling an "adorable" £30 solar light that "will make everyone who sees it feel relaxed and joyful." Impressed shoppers say the RICHIE Elephant Statue Garden Ornament adds "fairy-like" charm to your home, and it's easy to see why the "cute" decoration is such a hit.
The whimsical light would make a lovely addition to any garden, and it's likely to impress adults as much as children. The product description says: "The solar Elephant statue comes with 2x the battery capacity.
"Simply place it in a sunny spot for 6-8 hours, and the built-in sensor will automatically light up at dusk for 8-12 hours without worrying about electricity costs or battery replacement."
The description adds: "The UV-resistant resin allows it to withstand rain, snow or scorching sun without any problems. Making it a long-lasting addition to your garden."
One happy customer commented: "So nice, good quality brought as a present but I'm gonna get myself one too." Another reviewer said: "It is absolutely adorable! The detail is realistic and very well done. I just adore elephants... and it looks so happy!
"It feels a little lighter than I expected, but it stays put during bad rain storms. The little lantern puts out a good amount of light, creating a fairy-like ambience in our front garden. Easy to turn the solar switch on. Very well made and works well. Highly recommended!"
A third shopper wrote: "This thing is so freaking cute. It hasn't tipped over in a good wind storm, looks great and is a cute touch to any yard space." They added: "The solar charging keeps the light on well, albeit the light isn't the brightest you'll come by. Overall it's just as pictured and for helping you imagine the size, it's about the size of a wine bottle with some light hanging off the top of the bottle."
Someone else commented: "We bought this as a housewarming gift. He's super cute but on the smaller side. I guess that was to be expected though because of the price."
Another shopper added: "Very cute. I wish it was a little heavier. But enjoying it." Meanwhile, a reviewer who shared mixed feedback wrote: "The product is great value for money, solar panels work great however the brightness of the LED doesn't disperse the light and is pinpointed in the middle."
Someone else claimed: "The solar powered lamp didn't work properly after first 24 hours. Nothing we could do to get it to work. Thankfully we had another solar powered light we could hang on it which was good because the elephant itself is really cute."
