A Jack-o'-Lantern That
Lights Itself Every Night
A moulded pumpkin lantern with the face cut clean through it and a slim wire handle over the top. The solar panel sits in the lid, so it charges through the day and glows warm through the carved face from dusk. Hang it off a hook, stand it on a step, or carry it.

The glow comes out of the face, not past it
The eyes, nose and mouth are cut clean through the shell with the light sitting behind them, so what you get on the step is the warm shape of a lit pumpkin rather than a lamp in a pumpkin-shaped shade.
It goes out in October and it stays out
No batteries to replace halfway through the month, and no bringing it in when it rains.
Cut through, not printed on
The face is cut right through the moulded shell. That is the whole difference between something that reads as a carved pumpkin from the path and something that reads as a decoration with a picture of a face on it.
Nothing to plug in, nothing to charge
The panel is set into the flat lid, so all it needs is a spot that sees some sky. It charges through the day and comes on by itself when the light drops — no cord, no batteries and no switch to remember.
Hang it, stand it, or carry it
The slim wire handle means it works off a shepherd's hook or a low branch just as well as sitting flat on a porch step. It is light enough that children happily carry one round the neighbourhood on the night.
Rated to live outside
IP65, which is a step up from most seasonal decorations. Steady autumn rain is simply what it sits in, so it can go out at the start of the month and stay there.
Two ways to place the same lantern
Hanging, it swings gently and catches the eye at head height. Standing, it pools warm light down onto the step. Most people with more than one do both.
- Hangs from a hook, branch or bracket
- Sits flat and stable on a step or table
- Handle folds back out of the way
The panel is in the lid
Nothing extra to site and no separate panel on a wire. Put the lantern somewhere that gets real sun during the day and it handles the rest by itself.
- Panel built into the flat lid
- Comes on at dusk with no timer to set
- A deeply shaded spot gives you a shorter night
Rain is not a reason to bring it in
IP65 covers a proper soaking, not just a light shower. It goes out at the start of October and comes in when the season is over.
- IP65 rated for outdoor use
- Handle and lid shed water
- Stores away easily for next year
Put it down, and that is the job done
Find a spot with sky above it
A porch step, a shepherd's hook, a low branch, a garden table. The lid needs daylight, so skip the darkest corner of a covered porch.
Hang it or stand it
Nothing to assemble and nothing to wire. Use the handle or fold it back and sit the lantern flat.
Leave it alone
It charges all day and lights up on its own at dusk, every evening, for the rest of the season.
One is a nice touch. A pair frames the door.
A single lantern on the step by the door is lovely. One either side turns it into a deliberate entrance, and four lets you carry the same warm light down the path or along the porch rail — which is what makes the front of the house read as finished rather than decorated in one spot.
What buyers say
“One on each side of the front steps and they are the nicest thing on the porch. The light comes through the carved face properly so it genuinely looks like a lit pumpkin rather than an orange bucket with a bulb in it.”
“Hung mine off a shepherd's hook by the path. Charges itself, comes on at dusk, and it has sat out through some serious rain without a problem. The handle means you can move it wherever you want it — the kids took one round trick-or-treating.”
“Really well made and the glow is lovely and warm. It is a soft decorative light rather than something that will light up a whole path, so buy it for the look. On that it delivers — I bought a second one a week later.”
If it is not what you pictured
Get in touch and we will sort it out. We would far rather fix a lantern that turned up wrong than have it sitting in a box in your garage.
Before you order
Exactly what it says — 1 Lantern is one, 2 Lanterns is two, 4 Lanterns is four. They are identical, so a larger pack is simply more of the same lantern.
It is solar. The panel is set into the flat lid and charges from daylight, so there is no plug, no cord and no batteries to buy.
A good day of light will run it through the evening and usually well into the night. Charge is the thing that varies — a spot in deep shade, or a run of grey days, gives you a shorter night.
About the size of a small bucket — comfortably carried in one hand by the handle. Big enough to read clearly from the path, small enough to sit on a step without taking it over.
Yes. It is IP65 rated, which covers a proper soaking rather than just a light shower, so ordinary autumn weather is what it is built for.
No, and it is worth saying plainly. This is a soft decorative glow — the point is the lit carved face, not illumination. Buy it for the look.
They can, and plenty do. It is light, the handle is easy to hold, and there is no flame and nothing hot. It is a lantern rather than a treat bucket, though — the lid does not come off for sweets.
