The TomCare Solar Metal Flickering Flame Lanterns are a two-pack of outdoor lanterns that mimic a real dancing flame using warm LED lights behind a glass-effect panel. They run entirely on solar, with a top panel that charges a built-in battery during the day and a dusk sensor that switches them on automatically at night. The rustproof metal body is rated IP65, so they handle rain and sprinklers, and each lantern has a top handle for hanging plus a flat base for setting on a table, post, or step. Best fit: patios, garden paths, and backyard gatherings where you want flame-like ambiance without running cords or swapping batteries.
Pros
- The LED flicker genuinely reads as a real flame from a few feet away
- Fully solar, so there are no cords to run or batteries to replace
- Metal and glass-effect build holds up to rain and wind outdoors
Cons
- Run time depends on how much direct sun the panel gets, so shaded spots dim earlier in the night.
Frequently asked questions
Do they turn on by themselves?
Yes, a light sensor switches them on automatically at dusk and off again at sunrise.
Are they actually waterproof?
They are rated IP65, so they handle rain and sprinklers, but they should not be submerged in water.
How long do they stay lit at night?
On a full day of direct sun they typically run most of the night. Partial shade shortens that.
Can you hang them or do they only sit on a surface?
Both. They have a top handle for hanging on a hook or branch and a flat base to set on a table or post.
