Comments about Glowing Waves Globe:
I bought this to replace a broken globe. The broken one was part of a solar-powered LED light that would morph into multiple colors. I was able to use the LED light with this globe and it looks wonderful!! I believe it has even more character than the original globe!
Comments about Glowing Waves Globe:
the product is very pretty but it does not glow at night. it is in full sun all day and hasn't glowed once. it did work in my dining room the first day under a light.
Comments about Glowing Waves Globe:
Loved this when I took it out of the box I set it up next to our koi pond for some nighttime glow by the pond. I have found that it just doesn't show up at night the way I wanted. If I didn't know where to look for it I wouldn't even see it. It gets full sun everyday and yet no improvement in glow. Its pretty for a daytime yard decoration but doesn't do what I wanted it to.
Comments about Glowing Waves Globe:
Looks great posed upon your wicker tee pee in the middle of my garden- looks like a floating spirit orb!
Comments about Glowing Waves Globe:
This is an attractive yard decoration that fits in well with the surrounding area. The white globe has a swirl pattern in it that catches the light.
Comments about Glowing Waves Globe:
It looks good in the garden even if you don't use it for the light at night. Very pretty with any flower color surrounding it.
Comments about Glowing Waves Globe:
No matter where I moved it, it did not glow.
Comments about Glowing Waves Globe:
For the best results, put this where it will get the most sun during the day. I used my own stand and it fits perfectly.
Comments about Glowing Waves Globe:
I placed the globe in full sunlight in my backyard garden, but there's been no glowing at night. But...I do really like the looks of the globe during the day so overall I'm happy with it. Be sure to buy the iron holder/base if you buy the globe, otherwise there's no way to secure it when placed outdoors. I wired the bottom of the globe to the holder for extra security from the wind. So far it's survived a few thunderstorms with no problem.
Comments about Glowing Waves Globe:
I put the ball and stand in my garden, in direct sunlight as directed. It looks very nice - it's a nice accent to all of the plants, but it does not glow. I moved it once, thinking that 7 hours of sunlight was not enough - so it now gets 11, but that made no difference.
Comments about Glowing Waves Globe:
Looks well in garden with any color flowers surrounding it
Comments about Glowing Waves Globe:
Altho the gazing ball appears blue in the ad, it is not blue but white. I is not the coloful accent I wanted. The white is neutral and washed out.
Comments about Glowing Waves Globe:
Although a bargain, it appears white in daylight, and does not glow very brightly (even when in direct sunlight for many hours)
Comments about Glowing Waves Globe:
Hoped this ball would actually look as the picture showed.....instead it is a very pale white and even tho we have had record sunshine and heat, at night it is impossible to locate......in other words, it is not florescent and certainly has not collected any sunlight for evening glo. Boo hoo!
Comments about Glowing Waves Globe:
add looked better than product!
Comments about Glowing Waves Globe:
I placed it close to my banana plant.. It is a great accent.
Comments about Glowing Waves Globe:
I placed my ball on top of one of your wicker tee-pee products so it lifts it off the ground and it appears as though it is floating at night- I can see it well this way and it gets maximum exposure to daylight. The globe is amazing inside, too!
Comments about Glowing Waves Globe:
I was really disappointed. I left it in the sun for two weeks and it never did glow.
Comments about Glowing Waves Globe:
i keep the globe in the sunlight like the directions said,but i have yet to see it glow in the dark. very disappointed with this product.
Comments about Glowing Waves Globe:
Very pretty, during the day.But despite an abundance of sunshine, can't see it at night. Perhaps somewhere very dark, such as way out in the country it would be more visable--but in suburbia, even with all lights inside and out turned off, it cannot be seen.
Comments about Glowing Waves Globe:
Pretty in the garden but no glow even with a lot of sun but attractive globe.
Comments about Glowing Waves Globe:
This globe was exactly what I needed to accent my flower beds! During the day, this pop of white is really lovely. At night, it's soft glow is not only beautiful, it's interesting!
Comments about Glowing Waves Globe:
I had my own stand and I had to use double-sided tape to get it to stay put. It doesn't work well, though, and I bring it in on windy days. A weight in the bottom might help! Don't put it in a shady garden. It needs a FULL day of sun to show up at night. When it does it is BEAUTIFUL!

Comments about Glowing Waves Globe:
Beautiful globe. It's the second I purchased. Why? Because the globes don't anchor well in holders (not weighted). If you get a wind gust, they go airborne . . . and you can guess the rest! I'm done with Globes.
Comments about Glowing Waves Globe:
Use it for decoration in my front yard to compliment my flowers. I think it is great because it can be seen day or night. I have already decided to give these as gifts in the near future.

Comments about Glowing Waves Globe:
I HAVE WANTED THIS GOLBE SINCE I SEEN IT A YEAR OR SO AGO. FINALLY GOT IT AND AM DISSAPPOINTED IN IT. ALL I CAN GET OUT OF IT IS A REAL LOW GLOW AND THAT IS UNDER 6-7 HRS OF SUNSHINE.

Comments about Glowing Waves Globe:
It sits in full sun all day, and looks great in the garden, but the glow fades too quickly and isn't bright enough. Overall though, I think it's pretty cool.
Comments about Glowing Waves Globe:
My sister said it would blow away in windy Albuquerque and could not be secured to stand

Comments about Glowing Waves Globe:
I sent this back. I didn't see any illumination at all. So it was just a glass ball with a little bit of white on the inside of the glass. I might have kept it if the glass or the inside had color, but it was just a plain ball in my garden.

Comments about Glowing Waves Globe:
I originally received this globe as a gift for Christmas from my Mom, since my yard has recently undergone quite a transformation in the last year, with new landscaping, lighting and sprinkler install. The item was originally placed in a rock bed, as it was quite attractive there and received a good bit of the evening sun; however, a neighborhood cat saw fit to knock it off its stand, so I recently replaced the globe. It, and a smaller counterpart, now sit in a bermuda grass bed, safe from falls off their stands. It has a lovely glow at night and during the day is an aesthetically pleasing sight, as well, albeit less colourful than its smaller blue counterpart. For those who indicated disappointment in the colour when they opened the box, that is the colour of things that gain luminescence with sunlight and you shouldn't have been surprised. "Glow in the dark" things are often a drab white or cream colour in daylight and both images are pictured in the catalogue and online.
Overall, the product is well suited to its purpose as being a decorator item for a garden or yard. I tend to keep such things in the back yard, as something fragile should not be so readily available to the public for mischeif or theivery. As well, I agree with others in saying it can be quite fragile and breaks easily, although I haven't had any problems with wind blowing it over in the correct stand, and we have recently had 40mph winds gusting.
With regard to rain tolerability, it handles rain well, too...still projecting its luminescence in the evenings, although there does tend to be some condensation build-up on the inside of the globe. This quickly dries out when the rubber stopper on the end is removed and left for a day and has no effect on the luminescence.
Overall, I enjoy this product, although I wish it would remain luminescent longer into the evenings.

Comments about Glowing Waves Globe:
I'm waiting for spring. I don't think it likes winter cold. But we did have a real mild winter day and evening and we tried it out. It was really beautiful.
Comments about Glowing Waves Globe:
I have a collection of vaseline glass,back lit with blacklight this is a great addition to it.

Comments about Glowing Waves Globe:
I was very disappointed with the globe, as I purchased it thinking that it would be aqua in color, as depicted in the photo. My mother, the gift recipient, was also less than impressed.
Comments about Glowing Waves Globe:
The globe was pictured as a beautiful blue and arrived WHITE. Very disapointing as it was a gift to my daughter
Comments about Glowing Waves Globe:
such a beautiful color in the sun
Comments about Glowing Waves Globe:
This is just great. I reminds me of my mother and her "gazing bowl" she used to have. She had it right in the middle of her garden in the front yard. I cant wait till warmer weather to let this show off it's full potential. Thanks Judy R. North Canton, OH

This ball sits in sun all day, but doesn't glow at all. Must be a defective item. It does look pretty sitting in the garden.
