Decision:

As a perfectionist, I always question if a product lives up to the hype, so I gave this a thorough look. Why did I buy it? I wanted something eco-friendly and easy for my garden in Lyon, where I enjoy spending evenings outdoors. How does it perform? Well, it does what it says: charges during the day and lights up at night automatically. The design is sleek, and it blends well with the plants, making the space feel more inviting. But is it flawless? Not quite—the brightness is moderate, good for ambiance but not for security, and I've noticed it struggles after a few rainy days without much sun. Would I recommend it? Yes, for its simplicity and style, but keep expectations realistic. It's a solid choice if you're after a low-maintenance, attractive light, but don't expect it to replace stronger lighting options. Overall, it meets most of my needs without any major letdowns.

• Pros: The light turns on by itself when it gets dark, which is super convenient and saves me from fumbling with switches. It charges using sunlight, so no need for wires or electricity bills, and it looks really nice in the garden, like a decorative lotus flower that adds a touch of elegance. Installation was a breeze; I just placed it where I wanted without any tools or help, and it feels sturdy enough to handle some bad weather without issues.
• Cons: From what I feel, the light isn't super bright, so it might not be enough for areas that need a lot of illumination, and on cloudy days, it doesn't charge as well, leading to dimmer nights. There's a slight delay when it turns on after sensing darkness, which can be annoying if you're expecting instant light. Also, the color might not appeal to everyone, and it could be a bit more durable for long-term use in harsh conditions.
