Introduction

Not all solar lamps are created equal. Here’s what to look for when selecting a solar hanging lantern that fits your style, budget, and weather conditions.

Light Output & Color Temperature

– Aim for 6–10 lumens for soft mood lighting.
– Warm white (2700–3000K) feels inviting; cool white (4000K) is brighter but less cozy.

Solar Panel Efficiency & Battery Capacity

– Look for high-efficiency panels (≥0.65W) that recharge in 6+ hrs of sun.
– A 600 mAh NiMH battery ensures 8–10 hrs of light.

Weatherproof Rating

– IP44 is minimum for rain and dust protection.
– Metal construction resists rust; plastic lenses guard the LEDs.

Design & Aesthetics

– Carved patterns (olive, floral, geometric) cast decorative shadows.
– Choose finishes (bronze, black, copper) to complement your décor.

Ease of Installation

– Hanging hooks or adjustable chains?
– Auto sensor vs. manual switch—decide which you prefer.

Conclusion

Choosing smart from the start means years of effortless outdoor lighting.
