The GIGALUMI Hanging Mason Jar Solar Lights are a 6-pack of glass jar lanterns with a solar panel built into the lid and 30 warm white LEDs coiled inside on a fairy-light string. Each lid holds a rechargeable battery that charges through the day and switches the lights on automatically at dusk, so there is no wiring, no timer to set, and no outdoor outlet needed. The jars come with S-hooks for hanging from fence posts, shepherd hooks, or tree branches, and they can also sit flat on a table or step. Rated waterproof for normal rain. Best fit: fence lines, garden paths, patio railings, and wedding or party tablescapes where running a cord is not practical.

Frequently asked questions
Do these need to be plugged in or wired?
No. Each lid has its own small solar panel and rechargeable battery. You hang them where they get sun during the day and they turn on by themselves at dusk.
How long do they stay lit at night?
After a full sunny day most owners get roughly 6 to 8 hours. A cloudy or shaded day cuts that down significantly, sometimes to a couple of hours.
Are the jars actual glass or plastic?
They are real glass mason-style jars, which is what gives the light its warm refracted look. That also means they can break if they blow off a hook onto concrete.
Can they stay outside in rain?
Yes, they are rated for normal rain exposure. For heavy storms, snow, or freezing weather most owners bring them in to protect the lid batteries.
Can I sit them on a table instead of hanging them?
Yes. The jars have flat bottoms and sit upright on a table or step. Just make sure the lid still gets daylight so the panel can charge.
