    My Solar farther’s day lantern, I’m a lanterneer liking all things lanterns lamps heater stoves. I received this lantern it’s cool, it was dirty and dusty and covered with fleas, I disassembled the lantern, gave it a good bath in the ultrasound bath, it all came up a treat, no polishing, just a good clean and wiped over with a rag, very impressed, you can bag cheap Chinese take offs, but I’d have to say this is a well built equally quality of any lanterns, I do like it, it’s very bright and looks smart,
    It’s so bright it lit up my whole yard like daylight

    Solar lanterns were made in Hong Kong I believe and the quality is excellent - mostly chrome on brass! I've got a few different light outputs, from 300cp to 500cp and they're all well made and still very shiny! I like shiny!

    Fleas? I’ll bet they got no bloodsucking done on a lantern.

    Nice one Darryl :thumbup: - I think it is Hong Kong not China. Made when it was not Chinese...
