Review on ๐Ÿฎ DECANIT Vintage Decorative Lanterns: Battery Powered LED with 6 Hours Timer, Small Lanterns Decor for Indoor/Outdoor, Christmas โ€“ Black (2pcs) by Andy Metzger

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not IPC certified - not suitable for long term outdoor use (more than 30 days)

Very, very good flashlights - so far. HOWEVER - Not suitable for prolonged outdoor use. Even before the batteries degrade (30 days), the contacts of the battery poles are already rusting and oxidizing due to ambient rain, humidity, etc. Deffo does not meet the IP44 n protection class for humidity. This is a really stupid design. The top of the lantern has 10 holes (star-shaped) that allow rain to enter. There is also no option to choose flashing or steady light. As soon as it rains, the battery poles rust. Maybe I'll design my own lantern and make a splash at the market. Be aware of this. Only suitable for "occasional" outdoor use (not for continuous use). Can be great if you live in the desert with no rain or used as occasional lighting. I had high hopes for these lights for year-round outdoor use.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Requires outlet
