LUMIZ Solar Lanterns

Only occasionally do we get a new product in the shop that everyone is excited about! LUMIZ solar lanterns have been met with great enthusiasm from our clients and staff alike. Looking to add an elegant, illuminated feature to your evening garden? LUMIZ may be just what you’re looking for. While there are many solar products on the market, LUMIZ stand apart in their tasteful elegance.

LUMIZ come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and colors as well as differing patterns. While their paper-like appearance looks delicate and fragile, they are actually constructed of weatherproof, durable Tyvek®. Tyvek® is a synthetic material made from high-density polyethylene fibers and is lightweight yet resistant to water, abrasion, bacteria, and aging. Its use in the housing industry is testament to its strength and sturdiness.

Place LUMIZ where their distinctive shadow patterns can be appreciated

If hanging LUMIZ from a tree branch, it is best to hang them from lower branches where they will receive filtered sunlight

The illumination in LUMIZ is provided by solar energy that is stored in rechargeable AA batteries. As such, your LUMIZ lantern should ideally be placed in a position where it will receive 6-8 hours of full sun a day, to fully charge the batteries to provide 5-6 hours of bright illumination. If hanging LUMIZ from a tree branch, it is best to hang it from lower branches where it will receive filtered sunlight to charge the batteries. If LUMIZ are used indoors the rechargeable batteries can be replaced with standard AA batteries. At the end of the season your LUMIZ lantern can be brought indoors for the winter, where its collapsible design allows it to be stored flat. Remove the batteries before storage. If replacement batteries are needed, you can purchase rechargeable NI-MH AA 1.2V AA batteries with a capacity of 600-900 mAh.

Each LUMIZ lantern comes with a handheld remote control unit that offers options for on/off, a dimmer for brightness control and timer settings for 1 hour/2 hours/3 hours and 4 hours.

LUMIZ come in a variety of sizes, shapes, colors and patterns

LUMIZ offers so many choices in color, size, shape and pattern that we feel confident there’s one to complement almost any outdoor or indoor space. Placing them where their intricate shadow patterns can be appreciated adds another dimension to their appeal. They are also especially attractive when placed in groups of three to five, hung at varying levels.
