Butterfly solar lantern – poetic outdoor lighting (Ø13h15cm)

• Butterflies cut out in the metal — the most poetic light effect in the catalog : the butterfly-shaped cutouts in the metal structure are the absolute signature of this lantern. The warm white light that passes through these cutouts projects very precise butterfly silhouettes onto surrounding surfaces — on a table, a wall, the vegetation of a terrace, or the ground of a garden. An effect that resembles no other in the solar catalog.
• Double projection — down AND up : the gallery file names ("Solar Lantern Butterfly - down" and "Solar Lantern Butterfly - up") confirm that the light projects in both directions through the cutouts. Placed on a table, it illuminates the underside and the sides; suspended, it projects down and up simultaneously — a 360° luminous ambiance.
• Metal — durability and precision of the cutouts : metal allows for a cutting precision that glass or plastic cannot achieve. The projected butterfly silhouettes are sharp and well-defined, not blurry. The metal structure is robust, shock-resistant, and moisture-resistant.
• Ø13xH15cm — compact and very placeable format : at Ø13cm in diameter and H15cm, the Butterfly lantern fits on the most constrained surfaces while having a very real presence. Its round shape and stable base ensure good stability on any horizontal surface.
• 6 to 8 hours of autonomy — automatic lighting : one sunny day is enough for a complete evening. Zero cables, zero handling — the Butterfly lantern lights up by itself at dusk and turns off in the morning.
• The most narrative and poetic solar lantern in the catalog : it does not speak of color, it does not speak of contemporary, it does not speak of ethnic — it speaks of nature, lightness, spring. A poetic gift for someone who loves beautiful evenings on the terrace. 2-year warranty.

• At the center of a garden or terrace table: placed at the center of a table, the Butterfly lantern projects its butterfly silhouettes onto the tablecloth, the plates, and the guests around. With every movement of the lantern, the silhouettes move slightly — a very subtle and much-appreciated light animation during a dinner on the terrace.
• Hanging from a pergola or a low branch: suspended slightly above a table or living space, the lantern projects its butterflies down onto the table and the guests, and up onto the pergola or foliage. A double projection that is very immersive and very poetic.
• On a balcony ledge or a low wall: placed on a ledge, the butterflies projected onto the facade wall or the terrace floor create a very decorative and highly visible light composition from inside the home.
• In the vegetation — among plants or at the edge of a flowerbed: placed among terrace plants or at the edge of a garden flowerbed, the Butterfly lantern projects its silhouettes onto the surrounding leaves and stems — a very immersive and poetic nocturnal nature effect.
• In composition with other lanterns from the catalog: Butterfly lantern (projection of poetic silhouettes) + COSY or JASMIN lantern (diffused colored light) in the same space — two very complementary light effects, one that sculpts the light and the other that colors it.

Q: How does the butterfly projection effect work?

The butterflies are cut out in the metal structure of the lantern — these are openings in the metal wall that allow the warm white LED light from inside to pass through. This light, passing through the cutouts, projects very precise and well-defined butterfly silhouettes onto all nearby surfaces (table, wall, floor, vegetation). The effect varies depending on the distance and angle — the closer the surface, the sharper and larger the silhouettes.

Q: Is the light projected upwards, downwards, or in both directions?

In the two directions simultaneously — downwards (onto the table or floor) and upwards (onto the pergola, wall, or foliage), depending on the position of the lantern. When placed on a surface, it mainly projects to the sides and slightly upwards. When suspended, it projects in all directions and creates a 360° light ambiance.

Q: Can this lantern stay outdoors all year round?

Yes — balcony & terrace and outdoor garden. The IP44 protection ensures resistance to water splashes. The metal is sturdy and weather-resistant. In winter, bringing the lantern inside during periods of very intense frost protects the battery from low temperatures that reduce its autonomy.

Q: What is the difference between this Butterfly lantern and the GROOVE lantern or the glass lanterns in the catalog?

The light effect is fundamentally different. The colored glass lanterns (COSY, JASMIN) tint the light — they diffuse colored light all around them. The GROOVE lantern (grooved metal) filters the light through its grooves. The Butterfly lantern sculpts the light by projecting precise silhouettes through its cutouts — a unique projection effect in the entire catalog, the most narrative and poetic.

Q: Is it a good gift for someone who loves butterflies or poetic decoration?

The most targeted and original solar gift in the catalog for this profile. The Butterfly lantern immediately conveys nature, lightness, and the beauty of small things — an object that creates an atmosphere as soon as it is lit and that resembles no other in the catalog. For someone who loves beautiful evenings on the terrace and poetic objects, it is a very well-received gift.
