Its a tiny little cute solar light. Its only less than a foot in length and about 4 inchs in height. Also,each turtle is only about 3x3inch in size. Anyway, the light is yellowish-brownish (due to the carapace color) bright and turns on automatically at night (charging at day). Easy to use, just turn on and put it somewhere outside and enjoy it each night. We put it in the corner of our patio and it enlights the whole corner in a faint but cozy way.

The product is cute, but ten inches shorter in height than the description indicates, and six inches less as long as the description indicates, both indications in the product description distinctly say, "assembled" height/length. I'd suggest that Amazon revise the product information to indicate that this is a very small item. As it is, this is highly deceptive advertising.

I have ALOT of solar features but this is the cutest thing. Great addition in a flowerbed, or like me next to the water pond. Cute and sturdy

These little turtles are so cute. I purchased them for my brother who lives in Florida, and I happened to be at his house when they arrived. I have to say I was a little embarassed because they were so SMALL. They took a day to charge, and then 2 of the 3 turtles lite up. He was going to move them to a more sunny location (they were in complete sun where they were, but he felt the front of his house had more direct sun for a longer portion of the day). Considering they were not shaded by any trees during the day, I feel they should work where you want to place them for the effects of decorating! I know they weren't a lot of money, but I don't feel they were worth even the $16.00 that I paid. Very disappointed.

When I opened the Item there was hot glue all over the product. When I looked at where the glue was coming from. It was down by were the solar batteries are kept. Looked like the product was returned once. Then someone tried to put a band-aid on the product. I would not recommend buying anything from this company.

These lights are small but, very cute! I really like how it looked in my flower garden. The gold lights put off enough light that you noticed it. The problem is after it rained a couple times the lights one by one quit working!!!! Now I just have a cute garden ornament for my flower garden!!! Very disappointed!!!!!

Looks very nice in the daytime. At night - one only sees the shells lit up so you can't really tell that they are turtles. They are cute.

Package came damaged.
Item only lights up if it is tilted at a certain degree. Very poor quality, do not recommend!

Update: After getting new and more powerful rechargeable batteries for the turtles they now work like they are supposed to.

Moonrays often come up with uniquely lit solar-powered statues and this is no different. First thing to note is the current dimensions shown on the Amazon product page of 14 x 4.2 x 17 inches are way off. I'd say the length is about 12 inches, the height maybe 5" and the width 3". It's still quite large but no way near the size stated in the description at the time of writing.

Each turtle lights up separately at night with a suitable glow on its back. Without cracking it open I couldn't say for certain but I'd hazard a guess that each one contains just a single LED. They're still quite bright but in a serene down-played way and not super bright glowing. You won't be lighting up parts of your deck with this one and that's really not what it's for - the little fellows just look cool tucked into a dark corner of your garden ready to add a splash of shine at night.

Construction is as expected; pretty much a single resin mold with solar panel on one side. Despite us placing the solar panel against the deck railing there's still enough UV that gets poured into them to light them up for several hours.

As always with solar-powered object d'art I recommend replacing the cheap NiCad batteries that are supplied with 2700mA or greater NiMHs which you can buy here on Amazon for a couple of bucks each. The difference in longevity of duration and brightness of the light is significantly improved by doing so.

So you have here a very nice and unusual item that graces any garden or deck.
