The shipment was quite fast and the packaging was blameless
Then for me unfortunately mostly negative:
1. The overall figure is too easy for placement outdoors. A stronger gust of wind would have simply overturned or blown away.
Remedy: fine sand poured into the cavity of the figure, on opening in the column (3 kg, makes the character a lot more durable).
2. The assembly (just the lantern on the plug column) turned out to be "slightly problematic" - the sleeve in the column, which should hold the lantern, slipped into the insertion into the cavity of the column and could not be removed. So now shook the lantern almost untenable on the base.
Trying to "cautious" pursue an alternative sleeve, destroyed up slightly the column "sleeve receiving" something broke in - a already contemplated returning was from this point impossible, because the goods were damaged now ..!
So lantern disassembled (cover with solar panel and glass panels turned away) and frame carefully bolted to the column (3 carefully drilled tiny holes, so that no more wegplatzt). Glass panels used - now the cover with light and solar panel no longer fitted as screw heads a little too far and presided over "highly stressed" the glass insert. Ergo now drilled and the glass insert and screwed together with the frame to column.
3. Solar lantern lights up far too short.
Well, maybe charged too little by the sun, so figure the whole day in the sun to stand, this switch to "off". In the evening, the lantern lit up just under half an hour.
Well, perhaps still too little loaded - the same thing the next day tried again, taking care to ensure that solar panels are constantly exposed to the full sun. In the evening, the lamp shone only briefly on the actuation of the switch.
Well, maybe defective battery, can happen, yes. Panel from the lamp, broken down and came to the fore a NoName battery (size AA, Ni-MH, 300mAh, 1.2V). This capacity seemed despite three small solar cells a bit too little, have provisionally replaced it with a straight tangible 1700mAh battery (will replace him, however on occasion by a somewhat weaker, eventually he should during the day can also be fully charged) - and now the lantern lit a few hours - at least until I go to bed.
4. fit the parts (rotating lid on lantern, remove cover of LED, open the cover of the electronics, in order to get battery) expresses deficient!
Conclusion:
Five stars for the look - otherwise I would have not ordered.
Five stars for shipping and packaging! A praise to the seller, the nothing can for the product!
A star for material quality - too easy and too delicate. For example, you should press the "on-off switch" not too often ...
A star for value for money - all in all, the price of the product is far too high, especially since I had my birds some sand "steal" and invest time, nerves and some stuff to make the dragon-lantern satisfactory for me.
Ergo gives three stars
One can buy the lamp, it looks really good and makes in the garden / on the terrace really good. One must however be aware that you do not necessarily get to the high price, the quality that you might expect.
