Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:

For the short period it lasted, these lights were beautiful. But the design is very poor and one I had given for a gift never worked as I discovered months later. Both of ours worked for a short time before the globes fell off. One of the lights stopped working before then. One light still works, but the globes are not able to be reattached. A sturdier design is needed at this price!

        I can't get these things to work. Unfortunately, I've thrown away the packaging and the receipt (plus I waited for them for months!) ... so not sure how I could return or exchange. But they're not working in my sunny garden. :(

          I have one in my flower garden off of our patio...I gave one to my mother-n-law who always adored mine. She talks about how she enjoys it and last week ask where to get another and she wants to purchase one for her mother.

          Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:

          It was so disapointinging. I really wanted it to work & not believe the reviews but they were very acurate. They could certainly work on the design.I was careful with it, knowing it was flimsy and it still broke. It is still in the backyard waiting for a good stiff wind to knock it over. The light still works so I just have it propped up.

              I enjoy a lot of color in the winter and these light up in the evening and I can see them from my dining room. They are constantly changing color and they bring a smile to my face.

                  Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:

                  Have wanted to purchase these for a long time.
                  I was concerned about some of the reviews which said the glass bulbs break and I can see how that would happen if mishandled. The globes are glass so careful handling when assembling seems prudent.
                  Anyway, these are very pretty and the color changes are as described. I bought them for Christmas for myself but because it is very wintery here in Northern Wisconsin I wont get to see them in my Garden until Spring. I am looking forward to watching them glow.
