I confess to only daring to keep the earth globe in my backyard, because it is so beautiful I don't want to take a chance on it getting stolen. This is the second one I have bought because it is so eye catching and surprisingly durable.

Comments about Earth Globe:

Since I placed this in a section of my garden that does not get much sunlight; I placed the globes on PVC pipes (painted green) that I secured into the ground and wired and connected to my 12 volt outdoor lighting system. The globes are beautiful in the day and the night garden. I really enjoy their beauty. I enjoy them from my outdoor dining table as well as my family room sliding glass doors.

Comments about Earth Globe:

We mounted this on a post out in the garden and it looks terrific! The glow is soft and the countries of the world look "other worldly". In reading the cons, of course it could be stolen, but that depends on where you put it and how your neighborhood is. We plan to enjoy this one for years - if you are looking for a bright light, this is not it - it is not solar powered and only lasts a couple of hours

I used one on top of a metal pole that was hollow inside. The other one placed it in the middle of different statues of children (it was on a small stand).
I found that out of the three 1 was had alots of lumious particals and the others less. The land masses were shaped wrong on one (may be because it had vary little particals).

Neat little globe, very nicely done. Doesn't glow as much as anticipated, but who cares... it looks sharp and I spend more time outside in the day than night anyways. Would be really cool if they offered a mini 1 inch mirror ball & stand to go with it as the moon.

I did not think that I would like the soft glow that was described in the accompaning paperwork with the globe, but after the first sunny day, the erie light was very mysterious, adding an element to my night garden that was even more exotic than the solar lights around the patio.

Comments about Earth Globe:

Even after day of full sun, the phosphorescent crystals imbedded in this glass do not give off enough glow to make it worth the purchase. My mother thought she wanted one, but I won't buy it for her since it was a disappointment to me.

The globe is a great size for tables.

I do wish I would have gotten the stand with the globe, I must have read wrong and that is separate. This is a bit frustrating, it is now sitting in the space where a table umbrella would go. It works,not ideal.

This was a gift to a dear friend for her border garden which gets sun almost all day. It is well made, attractive and does what it is supposed to.Brought a smile to her face.I wish it was made MORE CLEAR that the stand had to be ordered separately. [...]The globe & stand were shown as a unit, but not until it arrived did I realize I had to order the stand additionaly.

I have mine on a patio table just outside my bedroom and I can see it glowing in the darkness when I look out the window during the night. It's incredible!
