I love these lights so much that I now have four of them in varied colors and shapes. They glow for 4-5 hours after a day of charging, and I often go to my window to admire them. Part of their charm is that they require only the sun to charge them. One has stayed outside all winter, in heavy snow and rain.
If you have a Firefly that stops working, check the wiring (it's easy to do and there is nothing complicated about the wires). It will always work if the wires are connected. I even pulled the globe off of one by accidentally pulling on it, and I was able to successfully solder the wires back together.

I was worried the glass globe would be flimsy glass that would break, but it is heavy duty thick glass. The pole appears to be stainless steel which surprised me; not cheap plated material. It was only in the sun for a couple hours and glowed the first night! I was expecting a red globe but it's clear with pink lines so it glows amber color, but that is ok. Love it!

It's very bright. In my climate it lasts until 2 in the morning. (Although I have yet to see how long it will be doing that.)

But there are no instructions. So it sat in the garden without lighting up for two days. There is no on-off switch as on some other solar lights. On the third day, I discovered the little plastic pull-out that prevents the batteries from making contact during shipping. Pull that thing out, and, yessir, there is light at night.

Instructions would be good, however.

Do not waste your money. This solar item sat in the full sun for 2 solid days and did not glow in the dark, not even a little, not even a teeny tiny bit! I hated to even give it one star!
