Know before you buy
No tools are required. The lamp is designed to be hand-assembled by folding and connecting the printed circuit board components.
Yes, the modular design is specifically engineered to allow you to combine multiple units to create a larger, expanded cactus structure.
Battery life depends on usage, but as a low-energy LED device, a standard CR2032 coin cell will provide several hours of illumination.
The solar option is most effective when placed in direct sunlight. For consistent indoor lighting, the battery power source is generally more reliable.
While the material is rigid and durable, it is a circuit board and should be handled with care during assembly to avoid bending the delicate traces or components.
