Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
The products are attractive, easy to install. [...] I am very satisfied.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I absolutely love these lights. After our big snowstorm, I was heartbroken that two broke; however, I was enlightened when several started to illuminate, just barely above the snow. Well worth the money! I'm purchasing my sixth set (we have a big yard).
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
No matter if you have a large or a small area, they really add color and life to your yard at night.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
This globe of color has been working every night throughout the MI winters. I love the transition to the next color. It's very beautiful!
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
Just to sit back and see the color show as it is constantly changing.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I REALLY DO LIKE THESE LIGHTS AND WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MORE OF THEM FOR MY LANDSCAPING,BUT THEY ARE A BIT PRICY.I ORDERED 6 OF THEM 1 GLOBE SHATTERED AND NOW WONT LIGHT UP,BUT THEY PUT ON A BEAUTIFUL DISPLAY AND I WOULD ORDER MORE IF THEY LOWERED THE PRICE
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
Very beutiful design. Look forward to install
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
The spheres change colors frequently for a fun light show. If I could change anything, I'd slow the changing down a little, but they make a fun accent with the garden. My Grandkids refer to them as 'fairy lights'. Looking forward to seeing them nestled among the flowers and putting on a light show.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
Magical product that lights up our garden.

Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
The colour changing lights are mesmerizing. It is disappointing when the lights are dimmed out in cold and dark winter nights. I haven't seen anything like it before. Also, the round shape makes it impossible for birds to perch on and defecate on.

Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
The sphere is really cool and the way the colors change is awesome, but that's really all the good stuff I can say about it. I followed the instructions and charged it in the "off" position for two sunny days, and for the first two days after that, it worked great. Then the charge started lasting less and less time. Two weeks later, it stays lit for only 2-3 hours, and flickers most of the time. The glass sphere also cracked, which is weird because it hasn't fallen or gotten knocked into, so it must have cracked from the cold (I live in Atlanta, so it's not like it's that cold). All in all, I'm very disappointed in this product. It's also much smaller than it seems in the picture.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I love this product! I have several solar powered decorations and this is by far the best. It lasts all night on a charge and is super bright.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I just LOVE the sphere's in my patio garden, Everyone who sees it wants one, I have begun to give it to everyone for a gift. I also use it as an indicator for how much sun my area in Ohio recieved that day while I was at work. LOVE seeing it as I return home in the evening!

Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I like the product, but I do not like and I am deeply disappointed that one out of three purchased does not work.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
Looks lovely in the dark gardens at night. Want to get more, atleast one in each of my several gardens. Last longer than I thought!
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
These lights were a whimsical purchase. The idea of solar-powered color changing globes was too good to miss trying. We live in a snowy, cold part of northern New York, and this item was probably not a good choice for our climate, though nothing in the listing suggested a problem. They worked for one day, then the batteries would not re-charge, even with snow brushed off, and several bulb inserts broke. A very appealing idea, but it just didn't work well here. We were not careless with the units.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I gave as a gift and my sister said it is absolutely beautiful at night. At first she thought it was broken, then she "read the instructions" and found it had an "on/off" switch. She was so delighted with it when it became night time. They think it might keep the deer away at night!
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
We use these lights to surround the end of our driveway closest to the house. We have several windows that face that area and we love to look at them at night. They are bright and beautiful. They are easy to put together but can't comment on longevity since we only just put them in before Christmas.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
This was a gift you sent directly to my friends. They are enjoying it.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I love these lamps. I give them as gifts a lot,but I am very disappointed in the fact that they don't last. Changing the batteries doesn't always solve the problem. Don't know what the problem is so I have just purchased new ones to replace the other nonfunctioning ones. Since they have been gifts I always feel embarassed.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
The colors are beautiful. They look great around the patio
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I found it difficult to respond to the questiosn above. The glue gave way on the ball as we were putting it together. For the price, it seems kind of chintzy. Your other products are fabulous. For the cost, it should have been better quality. Either reduce the cost or increase the quality.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
Appreciated by recipient of gift. Not made in USA.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
lite is weak after a full day of sun, very disappointing.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
The stem which attaches the sphere to the light fixture is weak and broke within days of putting it outside. I glued it back together.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I purchased 3 as a Christmas present to my husband. [...] I would purchase more as I enjoy this product.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I am enjoying the lights, I love the way the change colors. I also gave one to my hairdresser and nail lady, for Cjristmas. They opened the present and were very excited and couldn't wait to see them in action.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
It's relaxing to sit and watch these lights fade from one color to another,adds a fairy atmosphere to our garden
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I have purchased these lights for a couple of years now for myself to start with & then I was so pleased with their look that I have since been purchasing them for gifts. Every person that I have given them to have just loved them & wanted to know where I had purchased them, so they could get more of them. Also, I have had neighbors that have also purchased the Northern Light Sphere's for their own yards.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I have the Northern Lights in a garden bed right outside the dining room and kitchen. I can enjoy the color show all evening till I go to bed. Then the night "critters" can enjoy the show!
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
The glass orbs have come off with time and also on a brand new one. Very fragile and thin glass if they fall, will smash. Otherwise love them and the constant changing colors.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
Was able to re-attach globes with a form of putty.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I purchased one in a [...] store and could not find any more. I wanted 3 to line my front, curved sidewalk. However, while waiting for the other 2 to arrive from Gardener's Supply, we have found that we absolutely LOVE the light show this puts on inside our house! My 3 kids love to see the different colors dancing across the ceiling while we lay in bed together. It's better than a nightly bed-time story! We may not ever put the lights outside...may find a place in each child's room inside.

We've had similar product in the past, battery will eventually end and you will seek new product for replacement as we did

These lights are so elegant and relaxing to watch as they change from one color to another.

Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I use them on my deck and down onto the lower deck where our hot tub is located and everyone loves the vivid colors they provide. This is the second order of these since I was so happy with the first ones!

Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
After receiving one for a gift, I ordered 7 more for gifts to the family. We all love them and look forward to evening when they start their glow!!
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I use the product purely for decorative purposes. Very simple to install and I was surprised to find it glows in 8 different colors (not 4 as stated in the product info). I just wish the batteries would hold a charge longer.
[0 of 1 customers found this review helpful]
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I have 6 of these to illuminate my planters in the backyard. They are absolutely gorgeous, easy to use, and light up the backyard in beautiful colors. The only reason why I give them 4 out of 5 is that the sphere on 2 of them had fallen off, not allowing the sphere to properly screw back on the bulb pole. Fortunately my glue gun easily fixed the problem, adhering the ball back onto the light pole.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I purchased one of these, and enjoyed it so much, I bought two more! They are great in groups, set at different heights. You get such a light show.
They are really attractive, and not many solars have so many different color changes.
I will buy more as gifts. They are really great.
Just take care in the assembly, as the ball is delicate.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
It's the best show on my street

Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
The effect is good; however very dissapointed in quality-one light does not work-it continually flickers on and off would not recommend-product has good potential if dependable.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
Lights were a breeze to set up and worked like a charm from the first moment. No trailing wires to deal with. Lovely transitional colors beginning at dusk and all the way through the night. Perfectly highlights my egret statues in the garden. Would highly recommend this product.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
These globes are pretty, but trouble. One of our three didn't work because the internal battery holder was broken in the box. The glass globes are incredibly fragile; as far as we can tell one of them shattered simply by being pushed against another by the sprinkler system.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
Product is great to look at. However, unless there is a TON of daily sunlight (I do have them placed in an area to receive and have changed the batteries), be prepared to see them "flicker" during the night vs. blend from one color to another smoothly. Kind of disappointing actually. The solar panels really need to be ramped up to absorb more sunlight.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I enjoy the 2 lights that work however the charge of the solar battery is limited when it is cloudy during the daytime,
Thus 2 out of 3 lights work which isn't bad for a "Red China" product.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
These were easy to put together. I did have to dig a hole for each one because our sandy soil was too dense to just push them into the ground, but they stayed in place afterward. They started lighting up the first night after I installed them, even though the manual said it would take 2 days. They light up even after cloudy days. The picture in the catalog was accurate. In my opinion, these are designed for creating spots of color in the garden, not for area illumination. I have not observed any damage due to weather after a few weeks.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I bought three of these and placed them in my tiered garden. Love to watch them changing colors throughout the evening. Only problem I've had was when we had a very heavy hailstorm sweep through with no warning, one of the globes broke. Fortunately the other two were undamaged.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I installed 3 lights along a wall among my roses in the side yard. The ligts get a few hours of sunlight but that is enough to keep them lighting until we go to bed. They are very beautiful and visitors have remarked about the light show. For those who wrote they didn't work, make sure the on-switch, located underneath, is completely on.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I have purchased several of these over the years - the oldest one is probably about 5 years old and has been out in the weather year round. All I've had to do is replace the battery (rechargeable NiCad) one time. I now have six of them scattered around my back yard and the color they produce at night helps get me through the long, dark winters!
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
Alot of un watching others be suprised! A great conversational piece. I buy for others & put them in yard. The globes break easily [...] but they are alot of fun!
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
Most impressive when used in Multi-combinations.. (10+)...
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
These solar spheres are so magical that I call them my fairy lights. I have three of this design in my gardens. Anyone who has seen them glowing in the darkness has asked about them so now I have started to give them as gifts. The receipients seem to mention the spheres each time they see me. Also, after a good sunny day it is not unusual to look outside in the middle of the night or early morning and still see a faint glow from these spheres.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I love these lights best of all the colored solar lights I have. These are the most intriguing and interesting.
[1 of 1 customers found this review helpful]
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
Be sure to have secure in ground. The wind blew mine over and broke the globe. But it still glows and changes colors. I love it
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I had to order 9 of these to get 4 that had good quality globes. The globes detach from the bulbs, making the units non functional.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
These were so much fun. We have packed them away for the Winter now....East assembly and disassembly. We do a lot of outdoor entertaining and they made the area around our pool and garden almost magical.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I was very pleased with this product. Didn't really know how it worked but so far works very well. It also last quite a while, between 8-10 hours. Will probably buy more.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I haven't noticed how broad the area of illumination is. I can see it out a window and it's fun to see.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
These lights are fantastic. They display a beautiful light show anywhere you place them. People going by stop to enjoy. They are a delight just to sit and watch in the evening, by your garden or walkway or anywhere. Just fabulous, am buying more.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
But an Oklahoma hail storm destroyed it within 2 weeks of placeing it in my garden!! :(
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
This product worked fine and looked good coming out of the box but I had expected a slow fade from color to color. I was disappointed to see the colors change quickly and abruptly.This tended to make it look cheesy rather than pretty and relaxing.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
Thanks for the opportunity to share. We purchased three lights. They are in partial shade for some of the day, but are still lit - but fading - at 5AM. On the downside, one of the lights is not as reliable as the other two. It flickers some and does not light as well as the others.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
So far I cannot get this to work, and it is in direct sunlight.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
We used the lights to define a specific area of the garden. They look so good that we are ordering a few more!
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
When mine arrived, it said it would need a day or two to charge from the sun. The local weather report predicted a storm, so I opened the box and set the light in my closet for safekeeping, planning to put it out after the storm passed. It lit up as soon as I put it in the closet. After at least two days in the dark box, it was ready to go! I put it out the next day and it has worked great ever since. My neighbor's 8-year-old grandson Gizane remarked. "It's beautiful! And that is a word I don't use very often!" I agree. I plan to buy one for my mother for her birthday.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
great
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I really loved this product. And the neighbors are wanting one now!
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I've ordered these solar powered decorations before and wonder if there's a way to replace the solar collector once it's stopped working. It seems to be a waste of the product. I don't mean bulb replacement. How long is the collector supposed to last?
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
Product lacks in quality of construction. I had to buy 6 to get three that would work, and not fall apart.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I use these in gardens. They are unique,fun, and a pleasure to look at. I wish they would show all 7 colors for 12 hrs. but they fade to only red, green, and maybe blue after 4 hrs. Still worth the money though.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I bought these spheres for myself several years ago. They are wonderful, the charge actually keeps all night long and they add so much fun to any landscape. I have bought several for friends who are picky and they too have purchased more. You can never have enough of these bright, colorful solar spheres in your landscape. Everyone that sees them just loves them! I buy more each year and use a rechargeable battery charger to keep the batteries going once a year.

Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
Battery change is a challenging operation. The rechargeable batteries eventually wear out (2-3 years) and the enclosures and wiring are sealed with adhesive, requiring delicate and judicious prying to separate.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I have these lights in a couple of flower pots on our deck. They sparkle things up at night.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
They really make the garden beautiful. Kind of like the appearance of the first firefly in June. You know--something magic and yet comforting.
PS My neighbors bought some after seeing mine
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I love these lights! My backyard is very shaded and I could not believe how the lights illuminated after only a couple of hours of charge! They make my yard look like magic!!
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
Have received numberous positive commments on how nice they look around our pool. We ordered 6 and then this year ordered 6 more. The changing colors offer great evening atmosphere. Need to be able to order glass globes individually as they can break easily especially when screwing on to post.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I really like the changing colors of the globes at night. It really makes the garden look pretty and it looks really cool when we arrive home at night and they are all lit up. The glue around the globe that makes it attach to the stake on one of them has worn off, but its an easy fix. Would continue to buy this product
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I have given two of these as presents and the people love them!
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
It is fun to gaze into the yard and see the lights changing colors. Even the neighbors enjoy it!
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
These glowing orbs are so cool! My daughter gave me 3 of them a year ago and we kept them up all year-round and even in the dead of winter they were doing their glowing thing every night! They don't need much sun at all to keep them going.
And so I have purchased many more orbs and have given them as presents to my family and friends. I have placed my orbs around my pool and garden, and even though they get watered every day in the garden, they still work perfectly!
We swim in our pool at night and these orbs transform our entire backyard into something out of Better Homes & Garden! I LOVE THEM!!!
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I never get tired of watching these lights in my garden when the sun goes down. This is their second summer, and I love them so much I bought some for my daughter.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I have given this as a gift (in groupings of 3) on two different occasions. Raves from the recipients. Personally, mine reside outside my kitchen picture window in a huge flower pot. It is sooo pleasant as night falls to have the lights glow.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
The changing colors of the globe are so different from other solar decorations. I like this so much I have ordered another to give as a gift.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
Most nights the lights are not on, even with a full day of sun.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
We have purchased 4. Our Grandsons just love them, they just had to take one home! I got one for my niece and now my sister-in-law has purchased 2 more.
My husband called them "Our Wizzard Balls"!
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
Provides hours of cool colors in the garden! Runs far longer than we expected. Construction is on the light side, so place it where it is protected from kids and pets.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
Really cool product. My grandkids and great grandkids just love to watch it. We find it so relaxing just to sit on the porch and watch it changing colors. Great product.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
My front walkway looks like a carnival in progress
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I love them, gave mom one and she loves it also.. I wish they were a little bigger for the money but a group of them is very pleasent!
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I was looking for a solar light to provide ambiance in the back yard. These do the trick with a nice variety of changing colors. I would like them more if they were lower to the ground. I wanted something to put around the pool. The northern lights spheres aren't geared for a low-to-the-ground approach, but I found a spot along the fence where they work great.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I used the Northern Light Spheres to enhance the look of my rose garden and it's wonderful. It was the finishing touch.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
Makes a great light show. I put 5 together in the same garden. Visitors to our house at night are fascinated by them
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I bought 3 of these recently for a birthday gift for my mother. She LOVED them. She called me and raved about the fabulous colors they change to throughout the evening and how they were really something special and beautiful. Now let me add that my mother is notoriously hard to please. She has high-design taste and a home built by a famous architect, so she wouldn't just put something cheesy in her beautifully landscaped yard. It's very difficult for me to get this WOW Factor reaction from her. This is a very cool product. My mom wanted twenty more!
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
We enjoy these (3) Northern Lights Spheres twinkling in the garden. We had to re-solder the broken battery connections that one of them arrived with, but they all work fine now. They put on a really fun show among the flowers and foliage and we look forward to seeing them light up each evening.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I bought 3 lights. One works as described and is very pretty. One works, but doesn't change color and one doesn't work at all. I think 2/3 not functioning properly is unacceptable.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I love these lights and so does my 4 year old granddaughter! She calls them fairy lights and she is enthralled with them. They charged up the first day I put them on my deck. I just stuck them in the flower pots I had out. They are great!
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
Very enjoyable. LIke the ambience it creates. Soothing somehow. Have given as a gift with Great response. Plan to give it again.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
These are very beautiful and stay lit up the entire night on a charge. Make sure to place them in an area where they get lots of daylight, otherwise they will not light up in the evening. They are very bright and colorful when lit. I have them 400 ft. from the road (I have a long driveway) and you can see them clearly from that distance at night. I gave one to my mother because she loved them so much. Everyone makes comments about them because they are very unique, bright and colorful. I have had mine for 3 months now and they are still going strong.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I love watching the spheres changing color from my hot tub all year around.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
bulb came loose from the stem, but I was able to super glue
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
These are the best solar light products I have ever found. Their light is strong, the color range so interesting and varied, and they burn bright all night long. I own six of them now, starting with three, and I can't recommend any solar light product more highly than these for decorative fantasy lighting.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
The northern light sphere has a special place in my wildflower garden. It has become a sacred garden where the angels and faries play and frolic at nigh. The illumination from the colored lights sphere makes it a truly magical place.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I put this in a sunny area outside my picture window and it glows all night long
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
This product is exactly as described. I've had it for a month now and it just keeps on working flawlessly. To my surprise, it was still going at 4:30 AM, so it has a long battery life.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
they look good and change lots of colors you can see them a long ways away
one came un glued
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
Beautiful and different accent. Makes your home/garden stand out.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I loved the light at first, and then it just stopped working
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I purchased a number of these as a gift for my mother in August 2008 and she promptly set them up throughout her backyard/garden. She loves them and watches them every chance she gets. She is always receiving compliments on how beautiful they are. During the peak of summer, the globes will glow until the early morning hours. Also, the globes are very durable. They remained out all winter and are still in very good condition. They are great for gifts. The only con that I can identify is that you need to be careful where you place them. If there is even a moderate amount of light from indoors or from flood lights, they will either not glow or will only glow dimly. Great product!
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
Bottom spike comes unattached and if you push it to far in the ground you have to dig it out.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I have about ten different kinds of colored/blinking solar lights, and these are among my favorite. I gave one to my mom for Mother's Day, and she loves it as much as I do. It reminds me of the "static ball" (the one that made my hair stand up when I touched the ball) in my high school science class. The colors are beautiful and numerous, not the usual three or four. Very bright addition to any garden, especially when you're having a lot of rainy days!
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I love the way the colors accent my flower garden at night.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I actually got these to try to chase the deer out of my flower beds, so far so good. An added benefit is that they look great and I really enjoy the lights in my flower beds.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I love the colors, so much so that after ordering only one I immediately ordered 4 more.
Very different than other solar lights - great illumination, but wish it would last longer than 2 hours.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
In backyard. All the children and their friends come over to watch the "show."
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
easy assembly
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
last until dawn with a full charge, made it through a nasty storm with no problems ,exceeds my expectations.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
The threaded portion of the ball broke free from the rest of the ball so now the ball falls off and the threaded part stays on the metal stake. Not happy for the price I paid for it
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I love the way the light change they and so much color and light at night.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I have it in my flower garden, and we love to see it light up at night. The first time my 4 year old grandson was here, we had to bring it inside so he could see it early, since he has to go to bed before it lights up. He wanted to know if he could bring up to his bedroom for the night!!
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
This light is fantastic. It charges and illuminates as it should. It's not hard to install or difficult to assemble. I'm very satisfied.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
They are a great enhancement to my garden, now making it more fun and attractive at night.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
They are bright and very cute exactly what I hoped for and I love them.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I love the color changes that the spheres cycle through. I have them on 3 sides of my home; two on each. The size is stated and is adequate, but a larger size would be nice. I love them!
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I have this globe in a rock garden next to a bird bath. I love the subtle changing of the light. I wish the globe was a bit bigger though.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
This was easy to put together, but be careful screwing on the globe, you could easily strip the threads. Had it out one sunny day and the light show was on that night! Goes through several color changes and holds each one about two seconds. Comes on at dusk and has been on as long as I've ever stayed up. The only drawback--The globe came unglued and I had to get some silicone glue to fix it but was pretty easy to do. I love lights so this is great for me. It's like a mini fireworks display in a glass ball. I have one in the front yard and one out back, I wouldn't see the need for "groups" of them.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I bought one set, put them in the garden and waited for the show. They didn't disappoint and I immediately ordered the solar star set.They add whimsy and funk to my garden. I like them!!
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
It is a little top heavy and the connection between the globe and the stake is not sturdy.
Otherwise, it is very attractive. i only have one and would consider purchasing more of them if they were less expensive.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I ordered 8 N.L.S.s, they arrived today around 1pm, and were in the ground within a 1/2-hr. Though instructions said 2 days for battery charge, just after 9 pm the light show began! Every single one works just fine...whether they'll last through the night...? But I am VERY PLEASED with this purchase. How cool! I think the size is just fine, and for those concerned about height(too tall), just push it in further.
One thing I thought about after they were already in the ground was that it might be prudent to glue the spike tip onto the lower metal stake-shaft, eliminating any possibility of it coming off when extracting it from the ground. Yes, the globes are fragile, so just take care when screwing them onto the upper stake-shaft: tight but not forced further than the threads allow...
If these have any longevity to them, they are worth the price. Be creative and have fun you guys...little things like this can bring a lot of little joys
I can't wait for the Waterbury Solar Fountain to arrive(less than 48hrs) which will be the ceneterpiece for this little 15'x15' flower garden in the front yard.
Thank God we have enough rain in the ATL area this year for flowers and vegetables!
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
Fascinating light display of many different colors. Look great nestled in a garden bed. Easy to set up. Worked the first evening we had them.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I was afraid the globe would be a little tacky but it turned out to be so much fun to look at it. It's mesmerizing!
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
Last Christmas I bought some of these for gifts, along with one for myself. I liked them so much, I bought 4 more! They look really cool clustered together. I have them in several pots on the deck. They get a full charge and last well past bedtime. One warning- the spun glass globes are fragile and can shatter.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
This light was a disappointment. The solar recharge did not work (even though we have 98% of all possible sunlight here.) The only way we could use it was to simply replace the battery every second or third day, which was a task. We tried several approaches to the problem. We might have been willing to replace batteries, but did not like the hectic pace of the light change anyway. Too bright, too fast. Not relaxing!
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I love the product however, we accidentally broke one of the globes and now a second one has stopped working all together. I will check the battery to see if a replacement will get it started again. They look very cute in a small grouping.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
One of the lights is broken already, I recived them two weeks ago. Very disappointed in them.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I have these lights in the front yard. It makes it look like a twinkling fairy land.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:

Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
These are very pretty, makes you want to stand there and keep watching them , I gave one to my mother for Mothers Day, and My Dad asked me if I would get him one for Fathers Day !! And I usually can't make up my mind on what to get him !
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
Relaxing and pretty to watch at night. I'm also hoping it may keep skunks and other critters away.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
We were shopping for something really different to enhance the look of our front yard. These lights are like nothing else we have seen. They turn all these different colors and it is like a lighted-symphony that passers-by really enjoy. We have had several folks ring our doorbell and ask where we purchased them.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
great for garden areas
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
The product is a good one! Lots of favorable comments from friends/neighbors. One of the three I purchased, doesn't light very well, but it is what it is. Looses the "charge" very soon after it comes on. The other two work great. It accents a dark area of the garden at night. No other lighting in this area.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
Colors are very vivid. A little pricy, but worth the enjoyment. A very good gift.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I like it I have had 2 but the sphere broke so all I have is the light...
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I have a lot of solar lights in my backyard, and this one is the showpiece!
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
After purchasing the "Fairydust Ball" lights and being disappointed, we were hesitant to purchase these. They're beautiful. We truly enjoy their ever-changing colors. They even work after several days of clouds.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
marks low lying stone walls. long lasting illumination. a bit gaudy.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
This is a creative product! Fun.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
We clustered at least 6 of these lights in an herb bed on our patio. We can see them from our breakfast room every night, and the display is a continuous delight. The color-changing pattern constantly changes - and which light "fires" first depends upon the angle of the sun during the day. These are our favorite Gardener's Supply purchases!
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I had read some reviews on this product that mentioned some people were suprised by its size, so I wasn't suprised when it arrived (size is stated clearly in the add, also). But this thing is one of the coolest things in my yard now, and the displays it gives off are just awesome. Living in Wis, I had worries about its durability and amount of sun it would receive but no problems so far. If putting in your front yard, I'd make sure its secure as it wouldn't surprise me if someone tried to make off with it. I'd recommend it to anyone.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I have these lights in my landscaping around the family pool. They are bright and beautiful. Gets alots of compliments!
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I love them, they make me smile every time I look at them, they are truly fun to watch sitting on my deck at night.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
OUR NEIGHBORS HAVE SIMILAR SOLAR LIGHTING, BUT WHEN WE BOUGHT OUR 18 NORTHERN LIGHT SPHERES, WE HAD SEVERAL NEIGHBORS COME OVER AND ASK US WHERE WE BOUGHT THEM.THE SPHERES ARE UNIQUE AND QUITE DIFFERENT FROM WHAT YOU FIND AT [...]; THEY ARE PEOPLE STOPPERS. AS THE SUN SETS, AND SINCE MY OFFICE IS LOCATED IN THE FRONT ROOM FACING THE STREET; I SEE MANY CARS STOP AND LOOK AT ALL OUR BEAUTIFUL LIGHTS. THEY ARE ATTRACTIVE, UNUSUAL AND WE LOVE THEM....SO DO OUR NEIGHBORS AND THOSE THAT DRIVE BY.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I have several and love to sit on my deck and watch the colors change. It feels peaceful!
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
Although smaller than expected, it lights up everything around it. Really stands out in the garden. And runs nearly all night

Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
The solar light came on the first night after I installed it and again for the next 3 nights but hasn't come on since even though we have had many sunny days.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I love the colors, I have never seen these types of colors in any other solar lights. The colors change from the usual red, blue, green, to pink powder blue, orange and a few others in between. I was disappointed that the globe itself wasn't larger but the different colors makes up for this.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I had already purchased 3 of these for myself then bought 2 for my sister in Kentucky and 1 for my Grandbaby at her house. I will probably order more.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
Everyone that comes over asks about these lights. I have given several as gifts. The colors are fantastic year round.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I have then setup in the Garden
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I ordered 9 and love them so much, am ordering 9 more. I get many compliments from my neighbors on how lovely they look. Have them in the front and sides of my home. They were very easy to put together. JUST LOVE THEM!!!!

Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
This product is such a great addition to my back yard. On the very first day, after only 8 hours of sun, it worked. It is fun to watch the different changes in color. I plan to order more!
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
Not used for it's light but a great accent in the garden
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
The Northern Lights are very colorful and they last a very long time. Sundown to sun up.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
Just a lovely way to add color to the evening.
Attractive day and night. One is not enough.
Enjoy!
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I have these in my very bare garden as it is still March, but they make me smile when I drive in at night. I can picture these when it is summer and they are surrounded by the flowers and plants. I probably will smile then, too.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
these are amazing lights. I wish I could afford to cedorate my whole garden and yard
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I use this multi-color changing globe to accent my back yard, garden area and deck area. I love watching the color changes, kind of relaxing to me. Would like to see it in a bigger size. Also think it would be beautiful lining a driveway or garden path. Very very nice product and came well packaged.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I purchased this as a gift for my sister, and she was thrilled. Now I want one for myself!
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
Put it together in the house to see what it looked like and it seems very nice. We will see this summer when it goes out in the backyard whether we really like it or not.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
Gave this as a gift but never saw it myself. My mother loves it but when she described the size I was disappointed. I thought it would be a bit bigger, but she says it's about the size that would fit comfortably in the hand, so it's quite small. Plus she'll have to remove it every time the lawn is mown, as small rocks or debris could fly out and break the glass globe. But she adores the colors, thinks it's a great gift, so I guess that's the best I could hope for. However, I've since seen cheaper ones at my local store. I might just buy one for myself.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I love sitting in the dark in the evening watching the spheres cycle through their different colours ---- so relaxing after a hard day at work!

Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I got three as a Christmas gift. I have tried many lights and many decorations in my yard. These have truly been the best. They even show up with the flood lights on at night. They are beautiful. I plan to buy more.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
wonderful accent for the yard and garden
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
Fun outdoor product with a lot of showy color
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
This was a gift, though someday I would like to buy a set for myself.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
My Northern Lights are "planted" in amongst decorative grass in large pots on my front porch. Their changing colors are gorgeous at night (and the bulbs strangely attractive during the day). We love them, but would love them even better if they were sturdier. Three of our four lights have broken; the bulb can too be easily pushed down on the stem, breaking the LED and the piece that changes the colors of the light. I finally wrapped duct tape around the base of the bulb so it cannot be pushed down; that appears to be a solution, albeit a not very attractive one. Before broken, they all worked fine (even in winter), but they do require a lot of sunlight to shine more than a few hours. I recommend the lights--but with caveats about their fragility.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
Purchased one of these to try. After having for several weeks it has worked well thus far. Seems reasonably durable and the colors are bright and
appealing in our yard. This is strictly decorative and does not put out enough light for illuminating
walkways or anything. Also the effect would be nicer and more pleasing to view if the cycle through the different colors was slower and, the fade more drawn out instead of fairly quick and abrupt as it is.
Other than these points, and whether it proves to be durable and weather resistant over time, these do provide a nice nighttime decorative element to yard or garden. Worth trying if thats what you're looking for.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
We bring ours in during freezing temps and we still get a great light show!! Fun and a little mesmerizing. They even store up energy on overcast days!
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
Pretty addition to the garden or areas close to the house for night viewing.Nice colors
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
They make my yard a summertime showcase. Just beautiful
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
Replacing the batteries with a higher capacity (2000 mAh) variety, e.g., DieHard greatly improves the length of time the lights stay on.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
Gave 3 each as gifts to daughter and mother-in-law.
I don't have anyplace nice to put ot or where it won't be stolen
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
Will use as lawn decoration. Haven't set it out yet as ground is frozen, but after lying in sun, we watched it work in darkened room. Really neat!
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I bought these as a Christmas gift for my mom. We set them out for several days to charge, but have been disappointed by the only a few hours worth of light emitted from the units (and we have had very sunny days). Also, the globe screws to the top of the unit. After checking it the other day, I noticed that the plastic threads had separated from the globe and will not hold the globe to the unit (I suppose Superglue might fix it). I have been pretty disappointed in these globes (I bought a set of three). Not worth the price
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
Innovative and different
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
Was a Christmas present and she was thrilled. It was exactly what she has been looking for
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
Hopefully the illumination time will increase during the summer. It's now X-mas and it doesn't get a full days sunlight yet.
It is beautiful in the garden.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
These are fun little accent lights. We grouped three together for an interesting effect near our front door. The solar panels get direct sun throughout the afternoon, but the charge does not last as long into the night as I expected. Still, they shine well into the evening.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I purchased an angel solar light last year from you as a gift to my Son. He installed it in his side garden and it has been beautiful all year. The quality was excellent. He put more solar outside lights for the garden this year on his Christmas list and while they are not installed in a garden yet, they were beautiful from what I saw on Christmas day. Dealing with your company has been an absolutely wonderfull experience from the very beginning of an order to the very end. That is a rarity in this day and age. Thank you.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
The photo in the catalog lead me to believe the Sphere was larger than what I received. It was very easy to install and was charged quickly but does not stay lit as long as some other solar lights I have in the yard. The color variations are attractive, though, and I am generally glad that I purchased the Sphere. I am considering purchasing a few more to place within my garden but will be careful to ensure that they receive enough sun light to fully recharge.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
The glow is beautiful. They make me smile.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
It adds fun to the gardenscape, especially after sunny days. In the midwest in the winter, it lasts only a couple hours before fading for the night.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
Since we in the southeast do not get to enjoy the Northern Lights of winter, it is so nice to watch the day come to a close and see the globe light come to life in our winter garden. It intrigues our cats, delights our grandchildren, and gives us a lift at the end of the day!
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
Really enjoy the two lights we purchased. Hope they last for a long time.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I have given these Northern Lights as gifts and have them in my backyard. I bought some more this year. Everyone loves the changing colors, and they add a little sparkle to the garden after the sun goes down.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
they stand up very well even in snowy weather!
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
The brightness and range of color is spectacular. I have bought several more as gifts.

Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
The bulbs were much smaller and flimsier than I thought, for how much they cost. I got a similar set of 3 for less at [...] and they were 3x's the size. I returned them instantly!!!
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I like these so much I sent some to my Mom and both of my sisters. They are fun and fascinating the way they change colors.

Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I would have given these 5 stars if we lived somewhere sunnier. Living in WA in the late fall/winter, we don't get enough sun to fully charge them so they only run for a couple hours each night. But I'm sure in the spring/summer they will be fantastic!

Just put it in the ground or a potted plant and sit back and enjoy it.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
Very pretty. Difficult to repair if the bulb has a problem. Replacing a worn-out battery is relatively simple.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
We like looking out back during the night at the spheres. It catches you by suprise when they change color.
We liked them so much we gave the neighbors some for christmas. This way we can enjoy the light from a far.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
Beautiful and interesting to watch kept close outside the window. If it's very cloudy, it won't work. If sunny will work for a few hours a day.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I first bought three, one for myself and two for gifts. They are really bright and fun and as far as I am concerned, 20 wouldn't be enough. I have ordered 4 more and I can't wait to put then in my yard. I think they are great and just alot of fun. I sent one to my sister and she is picky and just loved it!
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I purchased this for myself over a year ago. I now have three. I bought my Mom in Iowa one for Christmas last year and my folks loved it so much I bought them two more. I really enjoy sitting in my backyard at night and watching the lights. They are beautiful. I plan on purchasing three more for my sister.

We really enjoy the Northern Lights and it lit up the first evening we had it. I plan to give to two as gifts and will order more for gifts
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
These Northern lights are very pretty and the glass is of a high quality. However, the globe itself was a bit smaller than I expected for a[$] product. And out of the 4 I purchased, 1 came with a nearly dead battery which I had to replace to the cost of $8 within 2 weeks.

I placed all 3 in my garden and received lots of compliments on the neat light show @night. They really brighten up the garden at night, especially when theres no moonlight. I love how they change colors & most of the time, they are always different.

I bought this as a gift for my mother, after seeing several in my friend's yard. My mother is delighted with the changing colors and the warm glow. Now I hope to get some for my own garden!

Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I LOVE this globe. It is beautiful and the colors are great all night long. I put out 7 in my garden in the spring BUT when I went to move them this fall the globes are just rotting and no longer sit securely on the light. The globes are extremely fragile now and will not survive much longer. All are in similar condition. There is no doubt that they will not last through the year. It is too bad. I would purchase replacement balls if they offered them. For the cost of this item though, it is hard to justify this for less than a year of use. A friend bought one at my recommendation and hers didn't last long at all.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I tried one to see if it was what I wanted. I immediately ordered 5 more to scatter around my garden. It's everything I thought it would be.
I'm even thinking of giving 1 or more for gifts.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
Have three myself and have given them as gifts several times and everyone just loves them, and I want more myself!!

I want to get more but the price goes up I rather to get good price. Thank you
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
Love these! They really make your garden come alive at night. The color changes are delightful. I was surprised how long they give off color at night. Every garden should have at least one! :)
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I use the lights on my back patio. They look ok but I would never put them in the front of the house because I feel they would be a little tacky
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
These are great, very bright for solar lights, love the changing colors!
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I bought these for my yard after seeing them on a garden tour. I am now buying them as gifts for all my gardening friends. I love them! They worked the first night and have continued to glow through the night, through heavy rain and other severe weather conditions.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I have 6 globes clustered at various heights in about a 3 foot area in my garden--the impact is fantastic, colors still bright at 4:00 AM and beyond. Very weather resistant, in spite of their fragility, even in our New Mexico winds and monsoons. Have had for about a year now and plan to get more.
I think maybe 'online shopper' from MD just didn't know that he/she needed to find the on/off switch to activate. I have not had any problems with mine nor replaced any batteries yet.
Would be great if replacement globes were available--my husband broke one!
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
It is unusual and an eye catcher! Gave one to my sister and kept 2-- we both probably will get more. Easy to install. I don't plan to leave it out in the harsh winter, but possibly it would be okay.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I put the lights in my garden and on my walkway. Have received many compliments on how lovely they look at night.

Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
Only (2) of the (3) units worked out of the box. The 3rd wouldn't light even after a full day in the sun. I disassembled the unit and found the battery and holder contact points corroded. I cleaned the contacts on both and got it working, but I am concerned the battery is leaking.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
Bought some stars as gifts. Had to buy more. Even brother in Downers Grove, IL bought some. People who walk in the evening love to see the lights. It will be even better when the big maple loses its leaves.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
The lights are so pretty that I also bought some for my daughter, daughter in law and granddaughter. Also bought some extra ones for myself in case of some mishap.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
This delightful solar light has very vibrant colors, and is easy to see. We put it in our backyard, near a garden, and its fun to watch the colors change.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
Just beautiful sitting at night watching the colors change. What a peaceful surrounding.
Excellent solar decoration.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I added three of these lights to an established iris garden. They give a little added height to the garden, are attractive, and look like "fairy" lights at night.
The colors change more rapidly than I had hoped but the display is still delightful.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I bought one for my sister last year, and she asked for more this year! So I bought one for our house, too, and my kids love to watch it. The colors are spectacular. It was very easy to assemble and install, and I love that it uses solar power. Its bright fiber optic design is even pretty during the day. Great product!
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:

Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I bought 3 of the Northern Lights... I love to watch them at dusk and evening. All my family and friends seem to really enjoy them, too. Plus they were super easy to assemble and start enjoying!
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I put these in about 3 weeks ago. Only problem was one of the lights was already on automatic, so I had to change the battery which was easy to do. I bought 5 of them and they make our back yard so pretty. They worked the first night I put them in. I think the batteries were already charged. When I go to bed at night, the lights are still on, so they have been lite for 6 hours already. Can't say enough positive things about these lights and especially how pretty they are at night time. I have them throughout our landscaping. I live in Arizona, so we get plenty of sunshine and there has not been a problem with them during the monsoons either.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
They were easy to install. Had a lot of fun to the yard.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I love the atmosphere it offers when sitting on my back porch at night, my mother-in-law liked them so much that I gave her extras I had. She says she looks out at them each night. I have broken the globes on a couple - it would be good to be able to purchase those alone.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
My friend bought me the Northern Lights sphere for my birthday. My father saw it in my backyard and loved it. So I bought him one, too. This is a great decoration for giving your garden color at night. Everyone who sees it asks about it. Very good value for the price, too.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I love these northren lights! I planted a memory garden with snap dragons & bleeding hearts that were given to me when my mom passed away in May. The northren lights added to the beauty & serenity of the garden and added a conversation piece that allowed me to share my mom with others who have commented on how beauiful the garden is. thank you

Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
Very easy to install. No one else in the neighborhood has anything like it. Not as bright as some low voltage lights, but does a good job. Also, much better for the environment. I enjoy sitting on the porch relaxing and watching the colors change. I will probably add more when I do my next outdoor project.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I have several of these lights and use them to light the way into the house. They are very festive and put out more light than my other solar lights.[...]One didn't make it and is broken. There was no cushioning at all. The bulb and the batteries are also hard to get to. This is also a feature that keeps them from getting wet and does a great job at it!

Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
Changing lights add beauty to water gardens.
The solar batteries that were provided required replacement within a month.
Lights work great with higher capacity batteries.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
Really enjoyed the changing colors. It is a great eye catcher in the garden at night, however, when the product arrived, it had a crack in the base of the globe therefore the globe did not fit snug on the pole. I should have returned it for an exchange, but I slapped some glue on it and so far it is holding.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
The colors are very nice. We enjoy watching it at night when we sit on our porch.

THESE LIGHTS ARE SO PRETTY IN OUR GARDENS AND ADD A LOVELY COLOR AND LIGHT AT NIGHT AND THE SOLAR COLLECTORS WORK SO WELL THE LIGHTS ARE STILL LIT IN THE MORNING.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I display my Northern Light Spheres among the flowers and shrubbery in my flower beds, and the soft mystical glow at night adds a very nice curb side appeal to our property.
Guests love it and so do hubby and I!
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I have 2 of these in my front yard within a circle of flowers and a bird bath and they put on quite a light show as soon as it starts getting dark. The lights are very bright, much brighter than what you would expect, it illuminates the whole area and the best part is that the light show is free. I wake up around 5:00 in the morning to go to work and they are still on!

Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I live in the midwest and with the winters we have it was just breathtaking to look out in the back yard and in the middle of winter see the lights changing and illuminating on the snow. I have had many wonderful comments about the northern lights sphere!
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
The northern lights work as described in your web page. I do enjoy it.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I put mine in the back yard near the flower bed. It looks so good. I can see it from my window, even upstairs. I would like to buy more.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
These globes are an attractive alternative to plain solar lights as they add an ever changing parade of color long into the night. When planning for them be sure to allow an unobstucted view of the sun about a foot below the globe so sunshine will charge the light. I even had these along a sidewalk during an unexpected snow storm and they lit up the area beautifully.

Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I purchased two lights, and placed them side by side among the low ground cover in my flower garden so they would get plenty of sunshine. One light works very well. The other worked for awhile, but was considerably dimmer. After a few weeks it stopped working all together. I hope it will work again after replacing the battery.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
Keep these in your catalog for future buys.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
We love our lamps, we have them in the back yard and will sometimes just sit and watch the light show. We get constant comments on it too.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
It was nice at first, but didn't run for very long after dusk, and didn't charge very well during partly cloudy weather. Then, my husband removed a couple of screws and replaced existing NiCad battery with NiMH battery, and now it runs for hours every night, and also seems brighter. My glass globe did come loose from the metal stake, but I just glued it back in place when I noticed that it wobbled a bit. A little trouble to fine-tune, but really super product once that's done. Worth the money!

Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I purchased three of the Northern Lights and put them in different areas of my gardens. The spheres are a clear glass and don't add much interest in the day, but they are a fun, whimsical addition to the garden at night. The solar power seems to work very well. The lights work through the night without losing charge. The spheres are very delicate, however, so caution is needed with handling and placement to avoid breakage.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
Gift to family member who is a fantastic gardener. Likes the long-lasting light displays at night.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I gave these as a gift to a friend for her garden, and they're really pretty accents at night. The lights seem to change faster or slower depending on how much solar charge they've absorbed. They don't cast much light, so I wouldn't use them to light up a path, but as accents they're perfect!

I love the idea and design of this product, but the glass ball was very fragile. It cracked after only two months and quickly disintegrated. My children do still enjoy the light, however.

IT WASN'T WHAT I THOUGHT FROM THE PICTURE. BUT IT IS PRETTY IN ITS OWN WAY.

It was so pretty to look at during the night, it was stolen from my front flower bed after one week.

Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I bought this item for myself and several family/friends for gifts. In the begining, the colors were bright, colorful and easily seen. I thought the problem was just myself since my lamp had been through a few Texas storms. As it turned out, each one of my family friends who I gave the gift to, had the same thing happen. A couple months into enjoying this item, the glow was gone. The bulbs usually broke. In my case, the entire bulb snaped. But in other cases, the glow just quit.

These lights are along the fence - they are wonderful at night with the different changing colors.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I used these Northern Lights as an addition to my landscape in a large berm with a waterfall. I used these with the solar star lights for variety. I have only had them for a short period of time but have been thorougly entertained each time I see them. The glass balls are large enough to be seen from a distance and when grouped together are even more noticeable. I know they have lasted at least 6 hrs but haven't been awake longer to see how long they truly last.
Although the other solar powered star lights with the interchangeable heads are nice and work equally well you can't distinguish the different shapes from a distance. The Northern Lights are your best bet.
If you are planning to take the lights in and out of the ground during the seasons or bad weather I would suggest gluing the pointed tips to the stems. You can lose them in the dirt when you pull them out.

Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
bought 2 for the holidays and they never lit up -- no show at all. Didn't work in the summer either in full sun.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
It was a gift(out of a group she requested); she loved these the best.
Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
I bought these when I was ordering - just because they looked fun. I really enjoy them in my yard. I have three within a few feet of each other and I even enjoy seeing them as I walk past a window while I'm inside my house. They change colors and turn themselves on at dusk. Very enjoyable.

Comments about Northern Lights Sphere:
The lights are easy to put together and easy to place. I ordered six with one light not working out of the box. Gardener's supply replaced it without a problem. Still had a couple of lights that eventually started to not light. Batteries are not easy to replace. For the price I paid, I expected better quality.

I put this item in the flower garden by my front porch. Everyone that sees it just loves it! I bought one for my mom and now my sister-in-law wants one for herself.
