Amazon shoppers looking to spruce up their garden love an ‘adorable’ solar light that’s sure to impress visitors
Amazon is selling a whimsical £30 solar light that has charmed shoppers. The RICHIE Elephant Statue Garden Ornament is sure to make a statement, wherever you place it.
Reviewers certainly love the “adorable” light, perfect for anyone looking for unique decor. The product description says: “The solar Elephant statue comes with 2x the battery capacity. Simply place it in a sunny spot for 6-8 hours, and the built-in sensor will automatically light up at dusk for 8-12 hours without worrying about electricity costs or battery replacement.”
The description also suggests that the sweet design “will make everyone who sees it feel relaxed and joyful,” making it perfect for gifting. Shoppers agreed, with one impressed reviewer writing: “So nice, good quality brought as a present but I’m gonna get myself one too.”
A second praised: “It is absolutely adorable! The detail is realistic and very well done. I just adore elephants… and it looks so happy! It feels a little lighter than I expected, but it stays put during bad rain storms. The little lantern puts out a good amount of light, creating a fairy like ambience in our front garden. Easy to turn the solar switch on. Very well made and works well. Highly recommended!!”
Someone else thought: “This thing is so freaking cute. It hasn’t tipped over in a good wind storm, looks great and is a cute touch to any yard space.” However, they added: “The solar charging keeps the light on well, albeit the light isn’t the brightest you’ll come by. Overall it’s just as pictured and for helping you imagine the size, it’s about the size of a wine bottle with some light hanging off the top of the bottle.”
Meanwhile, a commenter said: “We bought this as a housewarming gift. He’s super cute but on the smaller side. I guess that was to be expected though because of the price.”
Another reviewer with mixed feedback said: “Very cute. I wish it was a little heavier. But enjoying it.” Someone else added: “The product is great value for money, solar panels works great however the brightness of the led doesn’t disperse the light and is pinpointed in the middle.”
A different shopper claimed: “The solar powered lamp didn’t work properly after first 24 hours. Nothing we could do to get it to work. Thankfully we had another solar powered light we could hang on it which was good because the elephant itself is really cute.”
