Echo Valley - Illuminarie Saturn Stake Illuminarie glow crystals within the hand-blown glass globe capture light energy during the day, then release a soothing glow for hours after dusk. The Illuminarie globes absorb solar energy during the day and can also be recharged by exposure to incandescent, natural fluorescent or ultaviolet light. The flow will gradually fade but will be visible for up to 4 hours after dusk. Do not allow the globe to contact any heat source inside or outside. Use in potted plants, garden or walkway. Arrange a group of these along your walkway for evening enjoyment! Illuminary Saturn Stake Specifications: 4 inch diameter “Saturn Moon” disk is 7/8 inches across. Within the circle is an inner circle of fluorescent green glow crystals approximately 1/3 inch wide. Within the Saturn Moon Circle is a glass globe approximately 2.25 inches in diameter that in daylight is deep blue swirled with several shades of green. The glass globe extends about 2 inches above the circular disk. The globe and moon circle are mounted tipped to better capture light and sunlight. The underside of the disk is mounted onto a copper colored metal disk that is connected to a semi-circular copper colored metal circular mount finished like zinnia petals to which the globe is attached. The 3/8 inch diameter metal stake is attached to the bottom of the globe holder. The length of the stake to the first twist is 20 inches. From that twist to the bottom of the globe is about 9.5 inches. There is no point on the end of the stake. The total length is about 29.5 inches.

5 Stars Echo Valley Illuminaries
They do glow in the dark; and they look really nice in large flower pots. I originally purchased two on sale at Linens & Things and did not pay attention to fact that they glowed at night. When I did realize this, I searched for more and found them on Amazon.com.

Product came exactly as expected. Its a gift so I haven’t put it to out to see how well it glows or not, but safely and timely arrived so great so far.
5 Stars Saturn Stake
Really beautiful art glass with an amazing glow. Perfect along my garden path where it is very dark.
4 Stars saturn stake
When it arrived the saturn ring was unattached, so I glued it back on.
Otherwise it is sturdy, and a reasonable price.
5 Stars Beautiful Accent
This was a great gift for my parents. They have a wonderful flower/butterfly garden which they are always adding things too. The illumination affect of this is unbelievable. No batteries or cords, just natural sunlight needed.

3 Stars Just OK overall - replace the batteries
These are nice when they work, and look nice during the day, but the batteries that it came with were pretty bad (mine did not work). I suggest replacing them with some better NiMH rechargeable AA batteries. The light output is good for what it is, but don’t expect “bright” light as these are LED lights and run on 3 AA batteries. I think it would have been better to run on more batteries for a brighter light or a longer run-time. It didn’t take long for one of the glass domes on mine to break so it wouldn’t stay attached well, but to be fair I do not know exactly why (perhaps my son or some landscapers caused it to break). I was able to fix it by using silicon caulk to “glue” it and keep the glass from falling out. I’m a little concerned about the longevity of the lights but hopefully they will last at least a couple of years.
4 Stars Malibu Solar Lights
Nice lights that light walkway. There is an on/off swith and conduint that runs from panel to each liight. Very easy to install. Low light that is an accent not a flood light.
4 Stars Just enough to light the walkway
The lights are very low, but it was just enough to light our side yard walkway. If you are looking for something brighter, these won’t be right for you. Easy to set up and charge.
NOTE; Since I first wrote this review the price has gone way up! I paid $50 for my first set and then bought a second set in the Gold Box for $30. That is what they are worth. Not the $194.99 it is certainly selling for. Wait for them to go on sale.
3 Stars Customer service from Malibu is not good
I purchased two sets of these lights, both were DOA. I contacted Malibu for help, but they never fixed the problem. I had to buy new batteries for both, they now work, but three AA cells to power 8 bulbs, what were they thinking?? They are well made and very “cute” but are for looks only.
2 Stars Still working
I have had 2 sets of these for about 3 months. The construction is nice but the light output is too dim. They do not throw nearly as much light as I expected (had hoped for). I’m still waiting for solar/LED products to improve to become really useful. Best I’ve found are the Malibu 3-Pack Solar Landscape Plastic Flood Light Set with Remote Panel, Textured Black #LZ413 and the Malibu Outdoor Solar-Powered Tiki Torch Light, 2-Pack #LZ604R2.
