A resin pumpkin with a warm LED built inside it, made to sit out on the patio or at the edge of the garden from the first cool evenings of fall to the end of the season. It runs on solar power, and after dark the light comes through the whole ribbed shell as a soft amber glow.
No outlet to find by the flower bed. No extension cord across the lawn. No cable trailing over the path.
Set it out in the garden and leave it there
Garden lighting usually starts with the question of where the power is, and the answer is rarely where you want the light. The best spot for one is the corner of the patio table, the top of a low wall or the front edge of a planter, and none of those tend to have an outlet anywhere near them.
This one takes its power from the sun, so the only thing deciding where it goes is where it looks right. Give it a spot that sees daylight. It is rated IP65 and suitable for wet locations. A rainy night on the patio is no reason to carry it in.
The whole shell is the lamp
The light comes through the resin itself, so the whole shell glows rather than one bright point. The deep ribs catch it unevenly, the seams between them glow brightest, and the streaked orange and gold finish turns a soft amber you can see from across the garden. It is a warm 3000 K white from a single built-in LED, gentle enough to sit beside the dinner plates without glaring at anyone.
By day it reads as a pumpkin rather than a light fitting. The ribs are full and rounded, the stem is green at the base and browns toward the tip, and the color is streaked the way a real rind is, not sprayed one flat orange.
One for the table, one for the step
The Small works nicely on a table or a windowsill, where it sits among everything else rather than taking over. The Large holds its own on a front step or beside a planter. Together they make a pair that reads from the end of the drive.
Put them out as the evenings get shorter, and the garden has something glowing in it right through the season.
