This does not generate enough lite to be seen 5 feet away.

During the day the globes add an archatectural symetry tobalance the bird bath and stature on the opposite front side of the house.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

I am an avid gardener and I was very disappointed when I received the Fairydust Balls. They have been in my garden for several weeks and I have yet to see the hint of a "glow". I certainly wasn't expecting them to light the pathway like solar lights would, but I have them place where they get plenty of direct sun, so there should be no excuse for them not to work. I have others that are several years old and they still glow. There really should be some sort of return policy for this type of product.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

These are pretty but are not lights. They simply glow in the dark.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

I have had the globes in the garden since I bought them and have never seen them illuminated.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

This product would be good in area of no illumination rather than a walk way. Like a folcal point in the garden after dark

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

They are fun to see out my kitchen window. They don't seem to glow very long in the evening, but they are a beautiful, delightful addition to my garden.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

We really enjoy the changing colors of the lights. The lights are soft and they have gotten postive comments from our neighbors.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

I have these in one of my flower beds...gets around 8 hours of sun...one conclusion, not to buy any thing that does not have solar panel and batteries...these just do not work! Have had these for several weeks now.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

work pretty much as advertised. Really need to be placed in a very dark area. Any light takes away from the glow.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

This are pretty little additions to my flower garden. Just don't expect to see them glow. They don't out in the yard. But if you have a reason to bring them into a really dark room, they glow just fine.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

They glow dimly, true, but in my wooded and mostly wild yard it's just enough to make a person do a double take, add a little bit of magick, but nothing overpowering. i would not suggest this for someone who is looking for strong visual drama or high wattage... but they are nice when coming back in from the woods on a nighttime walk.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

Little or no Illumination, placed in full sun and still no night illumination, a BIG waste of money!!!!!!

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

If you take these into a dark room, you can see the phosphorescence, but I have yet to see it outside. They are in direct sun until dusk, and still nothing.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

one of the stakes was broken and I wanted to send it back but my husband is quite handy and repaired it. It does not glow much or for very long. I'm not as enthralled as I thought I would be with the effect.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

After 10 hours of direct Florida sun, these fairy balls still do not glow.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

Adds a touch of "art" to the garden - which makes for a great combination.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

this product is great for that place in the garden that need a little something and you don,t know what to put their.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

These fairy balls are great conversation starters and are attractive both day and night! I've given them as 'thank you' presents to friends that have helped me while I was laid up.
Nice to use in a small grouping or spread out.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

They are just a nice size and color to have presence without dominating the scene. They have already been tested by some unexpectedly severe weather here in the Northeast.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

These did not show up across even 20 feet of my yard, despite a near-perfect day of sun. Taken into a darkened room, they definitely glow, but they don't show up outside.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

These balls are in my garden that receives full sun all day along, but not one speck of glow can I see!

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

The glass balls are good size and look cool in daylight, but they hardly glow at night - cannot be near any ambient light.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

These were great in the house but in the yard they barely glow. Must be too much light at night in our neighborhood. I wasn't expected them to light a walkway but just glow.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

Barely perceptible unless it's pitch dark, even then not much glow.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

Hoped to make use of these in large garden area. Area is full-sun and no trees to provide shade, so I thought this item would be perfect. However, as per your rep when I called about them, the illumination is very tricky and more than likely ceases to exist by the time it's dark outside. I brought one inside to a darkened room and it did illuminate, but the "special phosphorescent paint" is not strong enough to hold anything but a very weak luminescence. I'll probably have to resort to painting the glass globes to provide some accent to my garden.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

The Fairydust Balls do not glow in the dark. They can be out in the sun for an hour or six and still, come nightfall, no light from them at all. It was too much of a hassle to return so they are still in the garden as decoration use only. Too bad.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

These fairydust balls make our gardens look "magical".

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

I can not get these lights to glow in the dark all my other lights are great but not these. They look OK in the day light but not at night.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

They don't glow at all!

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

Does not illuminate as I expected. Not a good value for the price.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

These fairydust balls add a little excitement to your garden!

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

These are very pretty during the day but don't glow very long at night.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

They need a lot of day light and no night light at all in order to illuminate. I do not have these specifications.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

Fairydust Balls are fun in my garden and give off a glow at night. They go well with my bluebell solar lights.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

We bought these for our 91 year old mother and they do not illuminate at all. They were in direct sun for two days, but still didn't illuminate after dark...and the nights were dark.

Poorly described in catalog. Not a good product. Would not recommend.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

I purchased these hoping that they would illuminate my garden in the dusk hours---however, much to my disappointment they don't hold their "charge" for more than an hour even with 8+ hrs of direct light---need either more "fairy dust" or more of a luminiscent.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

I love these little fairy balls and I have never seen one tiny bit of light from them at night. I have them in direct sunlight all day for a month and nada!

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

I have them in my front garden but they are to low the ones you did carry that hung in the trees were fabulous!!!!!!!!!!!!

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

We haven't seen much "fair dust" from day one. This product was a total disappointment.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

Not tons of light, but just enought to set off my garden. I cannot wait until my plants are taller so that the lights are slightly hidden for a surprise effect. I shopped around and they were a good value for the set.

I did have to be careful to space them far enough apart that in a bad storm the didn't knock into one another and risk breaking.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

Received as a gift from my husband. With 8-10 hrs. of sun, both of us have yet to see them glow! The only way I can enjoy them is to place a solar spotlight on them which picks up the shape.
Don't waste your money. It was such a disappointment.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

Extremly disappointed in this product! A very expensive product! I'm surprise that Gardeners would sell such a low quality product. They convinced me not to trust their offerings.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

adds interest and beauty to the garden especially at night

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

I do like these, but they do not emit much light. It would have to be pitch black in order to see the illumination, but they are still attractive decorations.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

These balls add a soft glow to the garden. They could be brighter, but they are not expected to be used as replacement lighting, just aesthetically pleasing. In the ground or in pots they add a nice charm to ones' garden.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

My mother-in-law plans on using it in her front flower garden to add a little sparkle at night.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

I am extremely disapointed in this product. Typically I LOVE everything I get from Gardener's Supply but this was a total waste of money. I set them up in a sunny area of my yard (at least six to eight hours or direct sun). I thought sure they would glow all night. They don't even glow for a few minutes.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

does not glow as much as expected

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

Put in sunnny area in front flower garden. Balls look attractive. Throw no light.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

I bought this as a gift for Christmas so I have not tried it in a real back yard but when I took them out of the box, by holding it to the light for less than a minute, you could see how brilliant it was glowing. I can't wait to see it in a garden.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

The glass balls themselves are quite attractive, but do be cautious when driving them into the ground, they can easily bend at the joints if there is much resistance.
The "glow" is less than satisfying, but the overall look of the balls is quite attractive. You must be VERY close to see any phosphorescence and in complete darkness. Never the less, the trio is a very pretty cool, green.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

These are prettier than in the picture- and they seem larger too. IT's nice to be pleasantly surprised that the items I order from a catalog are actually nicer than what I expected! They stand out from far away as well.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

I love the concept for this product, so bought two sets. That was a problem, because they provide minimal (if any) night glowing, so I was actually unable to find more than 3 of the 6 when I wanted to return them - had to wait for fall clean-up, and now have located them. [...]

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

If you live in an area where it goes from daylight to dark really fast these lights might work for you. Otherwise, skip them.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

They make a nice decoration, but did not glow anywhere I put them. But they look fun in the garden during the day

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

They are easy to stick in the ground anywhere and add beauty to the garden arrangement.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

Although attractive, their selling point was the phosphorescence and this is minimal.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

I like them despite their lack of reflecting anything at night, so I ordered 2 more sets. They look nice regardless.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

Although these fairy balls are attactive during the day, at night (even after days of direct sun exposure) you can only see the "glow" if you put your face right next to them. I was under the assumption from your catalog copy that I could place them around the yard and see them from my porch. That is not the case and so I'm disappointed in this product.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

I bought these as a gift and thought they were neat so I bought them for myself, only to find that not only do they not work for the person I bought them for, they don't work for me either. We both have them in direct sun for most of the day, but they do not glow at night. If you hold them up to a light and then look at them in the dark, they do actually work, but just not when you put them into a natural outside setting. I'm very disappointed in these. I feel like I wasted my money. I would recommend you not waste your time or money on these.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

I have it in my back yard. I like the ease of installation and the look of the globes, but they are just to sensitive to other lighting and they don't glow very brightly. Use them as an architectural accent, but don't expect them the glimmer like the discription says. I have moved it everywhere in my yard and have had little success.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

I used this product as a focal point in a small flower bed. The size and shape is perfect for the area. The fairydust balls receive 6-7 hours of sun daily. Regrettably, illumination is so faint that imagination is necessary to see the light. Wish it were a bit more intense. Thanks.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

Even after a full day of bright sunlight, they are only faintly visible in the dark.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

Fun product. Love how they look at night.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

These stakes take some time to assemble. They look great in my garden archway along with the matching hanging fairy balls. But don't count on them for evening illumination. They are for show only.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

Am disappointed, but knew I might not have success since the combination of shade all day long and not enough sunshine at any time caused them to not perform as I had expected. I plan to keep them as they are decorative if not as functional as I had hoped.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

We put them in gardens near the swimming pool, but they are only noticed at night unles you specifically look for them.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

A very unfortunate thing in the written instructions that the buyer can't see until he's already paid for the balls and received them: while it's true that the balls gather energy during direct sunlight, the "fine print" is that they start to give off luminescence as soon as they are out of direct light. This means that their 6 hrs of glow time starts while it's still light outside, and with a long twilight period, the 6hrs is mostly over before it's really dark enough to see the "fairy dust." I get that this is all chemistry & physics...but it's still disappointing. Fortunately, the balls look great during the day, so they are still good garden decorations anyway. Just don't count on fairy dust at night.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

I have been sticking these everywhere. You can't have enough once you have your first three. They are so much fun after dark. The soft glow in the night gives you something to enjoy long after you can't see your flowers in the evening.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

Very unique, worked great.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

I have moved the phospherous orbs several times around the garden hoping for the right combination of light and dark. Nothing seems to work. Since the summer has more hours of daylight, perhaps this is a product for the winter - or a closet!

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

Product does not glow at night but adds interesting texture to the garden during the day.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

Despite 5 hours or more of sunlight, the balls do not glow enough to be seen from 20 feet.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

This decor provides an elegance to the garden or landscape as dusk approaches and the frogs chime in with the night sounds. They are sturdy and easy to move around.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

I am not happy with the rust at the bottem of the balls --it does not look attractive when people walk thru my garden

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

I really wanted to love this- but I've settled for liking it a lot. The fairy dust balls look very nice in my garden during the day, but they are not distinguishable at night. The package insert does refer to the need for no competing lights, which I believe we eliminated. And the balls are in strong sunlight during the day. However, we have not found there to be a noticable glow at night. We are disappointed but not enough to return them. They are pretty in the day, and we have received some very nice compliments!

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

I gave these as a gift to my sister. She likes them so well she didn't want to put them outside. She has them in her plants in the house.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

I was so excited to receive my Fairydust Balls for my garden and while they look nice they are not living up to their expectation. They are in a sunny perennial garden but have yet to glow at dusk. One of them is even showing sign of rust where the globe joins the base. Very dissapointed!

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

I have these in my backyard in front of a cluster of Trees. It adds nice interest to a spot that is otherwise dull.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

I was THRILLED to order these and could not wait to get them. When I did I was VERY disappointed with the lack of illumination. I think that they should be advertised for people who do not live in the city...I have them in the direct California sunlight all day long but see nothing at night.....maybe a darker area would show some illumination....I see nothing. I was very disappointed.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

They are cute in the flower bed, but just don't shine bright enough, or last long enough

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

This was a gift. The recipient reported that the fairydust balls were very pretty during the day, but didn't really light up significantly when it got dark. She did say she loved them anyway.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

I live in California and you would think that there would be plenty of sun. I got them for Christmas and that is our rainy season so I thought that spring or summer would do it. When nothing continued to glow, I thought that they needed total darkness and that did not work. They look nice in the garden as crystal globes but not the very least glow happens. I received swirls with the gift and have not opened the package thinking that they are not going to work either. Maybe I'll geve it another go. I still have all the instructions and recommendations.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

So easy to put in the garden and very different; people comment on them

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

The stakes are attractive but they do not glow at all. I've sat and watched as darkness fell to see any trace of illumination.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

Although these are quite attractive in your garden, walkway and potted plants on the porch, they don't hold the illumination as long or are as bright as the fairydust swirls.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

I was very disappointed in this product. I gave it as a gift and she cannot see the glow at night from 20 ft. away. We live in FL, so sunlight is not an issue.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

Looks nice as a glass accent in my garden but there is very little glow in the dark even after a sunny day.

waste of money

amongst my flowers as an accent piece,unfortunately not much sun this year

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

I have them in a raised bed. They do not show up very much after dark, even when there has been full sun all day. They look nice enough in the garden as an accent during the day that I keep them.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

These balls are an attractive eye catcher, but they are supposed to glow at night, and they don't. Mine get plenty of sunshine during the day but have never illuminated after dark.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

Iuse in my backyard around my tall perennials. I was hoping for more illumination however.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

They looked great in a dark stair way but once outside, they can't be seen from 2 ft. away, let alone the house or road. It was a HUGE waste of money AND they were given as a gift. Big disapointment.

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

It does not eluminate at all with being all day in the sun!

Comments about Fairydust Balls with Stakes, Set of 3:

I put these in my gardens along with the fairy dust hanging balls & spirals. I am not impressed with the fact that they really are not very luminescent. The only time I noticed that they were, was when I had them in the house and turned the lights off. But when they are outside, and it gets dark gradually, by the time its dark enough to see them they no longer glow.
