SOLAR POWERED: The lamp post is equipped with solar panels that harness sunlight and convert it into electricity. This renewable energy source eliminates the need for traditional power sources, making it an eco-friendly and cost-effective lighting solution. The lantern boasts an 8hr runtime when fully charged! PLANTER BASE, PLANT HANGER, AND GROUND MOUNT INCLUDED: The lamp post comes with a planter base & plant hanger, which enhances its visual appeal. It also is accompanied by ground mount hardware allowing you to stabilize the item wherever you deem optimal. This will meld very well into your yard decor or garden decor! SIMPLE AND CONVENIENT OPERATION: The lamp post is equipped with a 3-way switch embedded within the lantern finial (located at the top of the lantern head). Simply twist the finial to either the Amber LED or White LED ON position and allow for an adequate charge so that the outdoor light can produce the light for you. Once the included batteries are fully charged, it has an automatic on/off feature, meaning the solar light will automatically turn on at dusk and turn off at dawn, providing hassle-free operation without any manual intervention. No wiring needed! DURABLE MATERIAL: The lamp post is crafted of cast aluminum which enhances its longevity and protects it from rust, while the powder coating protects from corrosion. This high-quality finish ensures that the lamp post retains its aesthetic appeal and holds up to various environmental factors. RECOMMENDED USE: If you decide to use the included planter, we recommend that you use a minimum of 40lbs of rock or sod as counterweight. Please consider your local climate. Ground mount hardware included for added stability!
