Artisan Crafts and Design 6" Solar Hanging Galaxy Glass Gazing Ball — Aqua-Blue, Hand-Blown Ambient LED Light

This 6-inch hand-blown Artisan Crafts and Design hanging galaxy glass gazing ball is a solar-powered outdoor ornament that charges by day and casts a soft white LED glow through aqua-blue swirls at night.

Bring a compact, artful light to patios, porches, and garden beds with a decorative sphere that doubles as an ambient night accent. The aqua-blue glass is hand-crafted to produce swirling, galaxy-like patterns that sparkle in daylight and reveal gentle illumination after dusk. Built with an integrated solar panel and a rechargeable Ni-MH cell, the gazing ball needs no wiring and automatically lights when dark.

How bright is the glow and how long will it run after dusk?

The gazing ball uses a white LED powered by the included 1/3 AAA 1.2V 80mAh Ni-MH rechargeable battery. Run-time depends on daytime sun exposure, but a full charge typically gives several hours of steady illumination through the evening.

• Integrated solar panel charges during daytime sunlight.
• Includes one rechargeable 1/3 AAA Ni-MH 80mAh battery.
• LED activates automatically at dusk; brightness is soft, decorative ambient light.
• Optimal lighting after a day in full sun; performance decreases in shade or overcast conditions.

Will the glass hold up outdoors year-round?

Each sphere is hand-blown from glass and designed for outdoor use with weather-resistant features suitable for patios and gardens. While sturdy for typical outdoor exposure, taking the piece indoors during extreme weather will extend its lifespan.

• Hand-blown glass construction gives unique swirl patterns on every piece.
• Weather resistant for routine outdoor conditions—rain and dew tolerant.
• Recommended to remove or shelter during heavy storms, hail, or freezing extremes.

How easy is installation and maintenance?

No tools or wiring are required: simply hang the gazing ball in a sunny spot where its solar panel receives direct light. For best upkeep, occasionally wipe the solar panel and glass surface clean to maximize charging and preserve the color clarity.

• No assembly required; ready to hang out of the box.
• Comes packaged with Styrofoam protection and a fitted box for gifting.
• Wipe solar panel periodically; replace battery if charge life diminishes after long use.

What are the dimensions and visual details to expect?

This hanging gazing ball measures approximately 6" long by 6" wide by 7" high with its hanging hardware included. The aqua-blue glass features layered swirls that catch daylight reflections and refract the LED glow into a miniature "galaxy" effect after dark.

• Product dimensions: 6" L x 6" W x 7" H.
• Color: aqua-blue with multi-tonal swirling patterns.
• Includes hanging loop and pre-installed rechargeable battery.

It's suited to anyone wanting an artistic, solar-powered ornament—perfect for porches, pergolas, entryways, or tucked among foliage to catch both daytime reflections and evening glow.
