I have the solar globe since about 2 weeks. The charge on the balcony works well, so that the ball approximately 3 hours illumination at night. The light is more blue. A warmer light would have been nicer. At first we thought there was a loose connection, as they went out again and again when we arrived in the 15cm near the ball. Later we found out that it is probably at the light sensor. If we were wearing insulated light in the living room, so went from the solar sphere. Depending on where we stood, shadow fell on the ball and the light came on again. Is surprising that all the street lights do not seem to have the effect on the light sensor. The material is light, plastic, so far no reason to defects or fear that it's already broken when dropped. The construction was not a problem, through the many bolts, I hope it's rainy weather. A beautiful Decorative lamps for the balcony. To read it is not enough.
