Allsop Soji Stella Prism Solar Lantern – Metallic Orchid Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Soji Stella Prism Solar Lantern and what makes the Metallic Orchid version special?
This lantern is part of the Soji Stella collection, featuring a geometric prism-shaped shade made of weather-resistant DuPont™ Tyvek® material, punched with a decorative pattern to cast lovely light effects. The Metallic Orchid finish gives it a rich, jewel-toned appearance ideal for patios, gardens, balconies or indoor/outdoor ambient lighting.
What are the key specifications for this lantern?
Key specs include approximate dimensions of 11″ H × 10″ W (some listings say 9″ W × 11″ H) in the Metallic Orchid finish. The unit includes a solar panel, built-in light sensor (auto-on at dusk/off at dawn), one AAA rechargeable battery (included), dual white LED lights and stainless steel hardware.
How is it powered and how long will it run after a full charge?
The lantern features a solar panel that charges the built-in rechargeable AAA battery during the day. After a full sun charge (typically 6-8 hours of direct sunlight), it will automatically turn on at dusk and run for several hours (commonly cited as ~4-6 hours under typical conditions).
Is this lantern suitable for outdoor use year-round?
Yes — the Tyvek® shade material is lightweight yet durable and designed for year-round outdoor use, with stainless steel hardware and weather-resistant construction. That said, like all solar lighting, its performance will depend on sunlight exposure, and in regions with heavy snow or extreme wind it may be wise to store or protect it in the off-season.
