What Makes It Uncommon

Let the Sun Shine

Imagine being able to catch sunlight, to hold it in a jar that you can bring out later, releasing a warm afternoon glow into the night air. The idea is not such a fanciful idea when you have these fantastic solar tea lights. Displayed on your patio table or nestled along your flagstones, they provide an ambient glow that catches the bright colors of the swirled glass enclosures. Each light's silvery cap conceals a solar panel, which powers the long-lasting, energy-efficient LED bulb inside. A sensor in the lid automatically turns the light on when it's dark. The brightness and duration of the light will vary depending on the amount of light exposure it has received. Hand-blown in China by glass artisans.

Due to the handmade nature of this item, each is unique and will vary.

Sold individually.

Love these lights!

I purchased 4 last year- they look beautiful in my garden and along our lake front. I'm getting some more this year! 😊


So cute!

I gave this as a gift to my parents and it was a hit. They can be picky so I was glad it looked good on their porch decoratively. It's great that lamp light charges it as well since they don't usually remember to leave it in the sun during the day. #sweepstakes


Bought two and love, but one failed after rain

These look great and function well. However, one of them got rain in it and despite opening top and letting it dry no longer functions. Both were on an outdoor deck but partially protected by high tree canopy, so I'm disappointed. If they weren't out of stock, though, I would by another and try again.


I really would buy this again (and probably will!)!

This is a great addition to our patio. It soaks up the sun all day and provides a soft, lovely light once the sun sets. It makes it easy to enjoy the outdoors after sunset.


Excellent Service!!

I didn't expect a response to my review but got instant and terrific compensation. Wow. In a world where buyers get dumped on, this was a welcome and delightful change. Between this service and the great products, I'll keep shopping at Uncommon Goods!


gorgeous but faulty

I purchased the white light and loved it...but it was less than a month old when the rechareable battery died. No real directions for replacing it, and so not a clue how to make it functional again.

Response from merchant

Thank you for your feedback. We're so sorry that the battery stopped working! We receive a lot of positive feedback and have seen very few issues; this should not be the regular experience. We're confident that this won't be a repeat issue! We have forwarded your feedback and will be reaching out to you via email for additional assistance.


Light went out

Bought 3 of these for my wife. She loved them, but one quit working. Wasn't even a year old.

Response from merchant

Thank you for posting! We're so sorry to hear that the Solar Tealights did not function as expected. "We appreciate this feedback but are confident that this is a limited defect and not what you should expect of this item – let's get you a replacement right away! We've emailed you separately and made our team aware of the issue.


I bought all t three of these for my friend's birthday.

I bought these for my friend. She absolutely loves them ! Uncommon Goods, you never disappoint!

What happens to the light in winter when there are several days with no sunlight? My tea lantern is new, and I wonder if I should wait until spring to use it when there is more sunlight.

Verified reply from Monique

Great question! In the winter, there's still sunlight that can charge the lantern, albeit for shorter durations. It's not necessary to wait until spring to use your solar lantern. While they do perform best with ample sunlight, you can still use them in winter. Be sure to protect the lantern from heavy snow and extreme weather conditions.


Does this order include 3 tea lights?

Verified reply from Allison

Each are sold separately.


How large are these tea lights?

Verified reply from Kathleen

This product measures 6.5" Height x 5" Diameter


Can the lanterns be left outside in the rain and snow?

Verified reply from Valerie

These lanterns are made to be used outdoors year round, though we recommend bringing them inside if it is very windy. They can handle rain, snow, and cold temperatures.


Can I charge the cell by putting it in a sunny window? I live on a 6th floor apt. & thought these would be great soft lighting at night but I don't want to have to set them outside in the sun to charge them. SOMEONE would steal them, for sure!

Verified reply from Cassie, Community Moderator

A sunny window is a fine alternative to leaving these lights outside, as long as direct sunlight is involved. Each tealight features a small solar panel in the cap, so it's important that that portion is positioned so it can soak up some sun to make sure you get a good glow at night.
