Lit by Africa's Finest Safari Lodges

Long before it reached a patio in Connecticut or a courtyard in Santa Barbara, the Litehouse Lantern was lighting decks in the African bush. Lodges where guests pay thousands of dollars a night choose it for a simple reason: they need light that looks luxurious, survives the weather and never needs an electrician. No cables trail across the deck. No generator hums. Just a warm glow at every table once the sun goes down.

Most outdoor lighting falls into two camps: designer hardwired fixtures that look beautiful but require trenching (and an electrician), or solar lights that are easy but usually look like what they are. 

The Litehouse Lantern is the rare piece of luxury outdoor lighting that falls in neither: a cordless, solar-powered lantern made from solid aluminum, with the warm, low light you remember from a luxurious hotel terrace. 

Here are the five details that set it apart, and why hospitality designers keep choosing it.
01
Solid Aluminum

Pick up the Lantern and the first thing you notice is the weight. The body is powder-coated aluminum - the same material used in the outdoor furniture you'd find at a good design store. It has the cool, dense feel of something made to a standard, not a price. 

Powder-coated aluminum · 9.8 in tall × 5.9 in wide · Rust-resistant · No glass to break
"...They have already withstood several Florida downpours. Their light is incredibly bright for a solar lantern, and stylistically, looks really beautiful and warm."

Warm White Light at 2700K

Luxury hotels light their terraces low and warm. Our Solar Lantern does the same. Its light is 2700K, the color of candlelight, and it shines down onto the table rather than into your eyes.

Tip: Touch the top to choose a soft glow (105 lumens), light for dinner (230) or full brightness (350). 
"Soft auto on lighting creates a perfect outdoor dinner experience. Transitioning from our kitchen, appetizer area to this little oasis of light was magical."

A Cordless Outdoor Table Lamp

The Lantern moves with you: the centerpiece of the dining table, then down to the pool, onto the steps, or indoors by a window. Because it's fully cordless, it works as an outdoor table lamp, a path light or a lantern for the cabin, and the auto dusk-to-dawn sensor means it's glowing when you step outside.

Tip: Hold for 3 seconds while the unit is on to activate or deactivate the daylight sensor. Lantern automatically turns on at dusk and off at dawn with this setting on.
"I tried to resist buying these thinking it was just another cheap gimmicky lantern. Really excellent quality and work as advertised and way better than I was hoping. We are going to order a few more."

Charged by the Sun, or by USB-C

A full day of sun charges the Lantern in about 8 hours. When the weather turns, plug it in: USB-C fills it in around 4 hours. On its lowest setting it gives up to 26 hours of light, 12 hours on medium, and 8 hours at full brightness. So a cloudy week never means a dark terrace.

Charging Time (Solar):  8 hours Fast Charge (USB-C):  4 hours
"Great product. Extremely well made. I've seen a lot of these solar lights promoted on social channels but most are flimsy junk. Not this one!"

Built to Last For Many Years

Each part is chosen to last outdoors. The aluminum won't rust or fade. The ETFE solar panel is rated for more than ten years and won't cloud over like cheaper panels. The LiFePO₄ battery (the type used in electric vehicles) lasts far longer than ordinary rechargeable batteries. It's rated IP55 against rain and dust, and comes with a two-year warranty.

IP55 · ETFE panel rated 10+ years · LiFePO₄ battery · 30,000-hour LED · 2-year warranty
"A definite touch of understated elegance! I enjoy one on the deck cocktail table and another on the side table down at the smokeless fire pit. Even with just 4-5 hours of direct sun they still last through the wee hours!"
