Lantern Row — Set of 6
Six small jack-o-lanterns, each on its own stake, joined by a single twelve-foot wire. Push them in along the walk, set the solar panel in the sun, and the path lights itself at dusk. No knife, no cord, no outlet.
Light the walk. Skip the knife.
The worst job in October, gone.
Buy it, haul it, gut it, an hour with a knife, then a week of fruit flies and relighting it every night until it caves in on itself. Skip the whole sequence. These come out of a drawer and go back in one.
The cord problem never starts.
A solar panel on its own short stake charges through the day. At dusk the pumpkins come on by themselves. No outlet on the porch, no extension cord across the lawn, no breaker to trip. One of our buyers has no outdoor outlets at all - that is exactly who this is for.
The signal that says come to this door.
A lit path is what tells the street this house is handing out candy - and it is the same thing that keeps people from tripping on your walk in the dark. It does the job a jack-o-lantern was always actually doing.
Three steps. That's the whole job.
Push the stakes in
Six stakes along the walk. Make a pilot hole first if the ground is hard.
Set the panel in the sun
It has its own stake. Put it where it gets daylight.
Wait for dusk
They switch themselves on. Nothing else to do.
The details that matter.
Solar, 6-8 hour charge
Runs 10-12 hours on a full day of sun. No outlet, no batteries to swap.
Six jack-o-lanterns
Each about 3 inches across, in a small black witch hat, warm white LED inside.
Six stakes, one wire
Each pumpkin has its own ground stake. A thin wire joins all six, spaced about 38 inches apart - roughly twelve feet end to end.
Auto-on at dusk
A light sensor handles it. There is an on/off switch behind the panel.
8 lighting modes
Button under the panel, and it remembers your setting overnight.
IP65 rated
Manufacturer-rated for outdoor use through normal autumn weather.
What it does — and what it doesn't.
Here's the truth up front, before you buy:
- ✓ They are small - about three inches across. A buyer put a tape measure next to one and photographed it; that photo is in the reviews below. These are path markers, not lanterns you will see from the road. It is the single thing people misjudge.
- ✓ They are delicate. The stakes are thin and the pumpkin tops can snap if you force them. Make a pilot hole with a screwdriver first, especially in dry or packed ground.
- ✓ The spacing is fixed. Each pumpkin has its own stake, but a wire joins all six at about 38 inches apart. You can curve the run; you cannot spread them further than the wire allows.
- ✓ Solar means October. Short days and a cloudy week both cut the run time. On a good charge expect them lit from dusk into the small hours, not sunrise.

Real customer“Awesome”
I got these little guys last week and I love them. I can't do actual pumpkins — I'm highly allergic — and my grandson and granddaughter and my kids all love them too. I love that they are also solar; I have no electrical plugs in the front of my house. They stay lit from the day till about 2–3am.
“Not what I expected”
They are cool lights but very small. The initial picture had me thinking I was getting bigger ones. They are really small and weren't what I was expecting. Check the reviews before buying. Other than that, I'm still going to use them.
“Great solar power Halloween lights”
I wanted to decorate the front of my house with lights for Halloween but I don't have any outlets outside. These solar powered stake lights were easy to put together, the stakes went into the ground easily, and the solar panel does its job well. The lights have several different modes to choose from. I live in a very windy state and have had these up for a few weeks now with no issues.
“Delicate but very cute!”
These are really cute. Delicate, so be careful putting them in the ground — use a screwdriver to make holes first, then push them in. Smaller than I expected, but I'm keeping them.
“Small”
Cute but very, very small — probably around 3 inches big.
“The cutest jack-o-lantern lights”
These were super easy to assemble. Put the stakes in and you're ready to go. Put the solar panel in the sun, keep that switch turned off for 24 hours, and your batteries should last months. They stayed vibrant all night. I love that there are different modes to choose from.
“Cheap”
Tops broke off very easy.
“Easy set up”
These are cute and they work. We placed them out in the front yard with the attached solar panel facing the sun. We turned it on, it charged, and they all went on that evening after dark. So happy.
“Solid”
I like 'em. A little smaller than I was expecting, but overall they look great.
“Trick or treat”
I have had these for a year now and I am getting ready to put them up again. Very easy to set these lights up. They are durable and sturdy. The price was just right. The solar function is a plus — they stay on for hours.
“Cute, but doesn't last”
Didn't last.
“Good product that actually works”
They work! Came on every night for a month. Packed them away for next year.
Photos and reviews from verified purchasers. A selection is shown, weighted to include the critical ones — several buyers found these smaller than they expected, so we have put those front and centre rather than hidden them. Lightly trimmed for length, never edited for sentiment.
Gloomly vs. carving real pumpkins.

Everything you're wondering
How big are the pumpkins?
Is it one string or six separate stakes?
Do I need an outlet?
How long do they stay lit?
Will they survive the weather?
How fast will it arrive?
What if I don't like it?
Light the walk. Skip the knife.
Six solar jack-o-lanterns that come on by themselves and go back in a drawer instead of the compost.
