By day, this Flamingo Outdoor Sculpture is a whimsical accent for your patio, deck or garden. By night, the metal sculpture becomes decorative solar lighting; the energy-saving white LED in the body automatically illuminates at dusk and turns off at dawn. It"s powered by a solar panel discreetly located on back of the sculpture. There is an On/Off switch to control the light. The replaceable, rechargeable Ni-MH battery will give you up to 8 hours illumination each night when fully charged. There is no wiring, simply install and enjoy it.
