The concept is simple, the implementation also. About a 600mAh battery cell, the tea light is supplied with power, this is built into the base and can be reached by turning device and light and can be seen. The partially-mentioned difficulties in other reviews I can therefore hardly understand also the on / off slide switch can be found within seconds. The battery pack (NiMH) required at the start of a full-charge, lt. Instructions for about eight hours of sunlight. In budding spring a problem that can be avoided with a regular battery charger, then the tea-light is ready for use after just two hours.
The technique works, but the light is dim. In this respect, rather than Funzel lamp, just outside affects a single rod but relatively lost. In theory, the corrugated screen conjures up even a small light patterns on surrounding walls, but the effect is very limited. A hole punched on the screen serves as water drainage in the rain.
Conclusion: Meets the promise of the product description, but is less than serious decorative variant, at least not with a little more demanding attitude. Typical mass industrial goods in plastic style.
