It's an elevated garden stake sized to stand above flower beds and low plantings, with the cauldron sitting at about waist height once planted, the height that reads from the sidewalk without hiding behind the flowers in front of it.
No cord runs to the house. Each stake works on its own once it's planted, so there's nothing to route across the lawn or unplug when the weather turns.
Push the stake into the bed, then switch it on at the cauldron. It doesn't turn itself off at sunrise, so most people flip it on at dusk and off before bed.
The witch and cauldron themselves don't move, there's no motor. What moves is the light: the strand runs orange, green and purple in sequence, which is what reads as a cascade pouring out of the cauldron after dark.
The cutouts in the cauldron let warm light escape in the shapes of witches, bats, moons and webs, and against a nearby wall or fence within a few feet, those shapes show up as moving shadows. It won't throw a picture across a whole yard the way a dedicated projector does.
It's built for the yard, but the maker recommends bringing it in for severe weather, heavy rain, high wind or freezing conditions, to protect the finish and the light strand rather than leaving it exposed all season.
About five minutes, with no tools. It arrives assembled, you just pick the spot, push the stake into soil or grass, and switch it on.
Two flank a bed or a short walkway. Four line both sides of a full path. Eight is the version people use to run the whole fence line or wrap a bed border, and it's also the set that spreads best if you're splitting cauldrons between the front and back yard.
The whole sheet
What holds up
Everyone else on the street has plain orange lights, so the purple and green pouring out of the cauldron actually stops people walking their dogs. Put two by the mailbox and it reads from the whole corner.
Two looked great by the door but lonely along the fence line. Went back and got the eight-pack for the side yard and that's the one that actually finishes the look. Should have just started there.
Didn't expect the cutouts to actually throw shapes on anything, I bought it for the cascade of lights. Planted one near the garage and the bat and moon shapes show up on the door once it's dark out.
Worth knowing going in, this doesn't have a dusk sensor like some of my other yard lights. I flip it on when I get home and off before bed, which is one more thing to remember but not a dealbreaker.
Pushed all four stakes into the flower bed along the walkway in about the time it took my coffee to cool down. No tools, no wiring, no instructions I had to actually read.
We got a rough night of wind and rain right after I set these up and I pulled them in like the listing suggests. Ten minutes to replant the next morning and no damage at all.
Planted two on either side of the front steps and my daughter now checks every evening to see if the potion is pouring yet. It's become part of the bedtime routine in October, which I did not expect from a yard light.
Tucked into the mulch near the porch, the glow and the cascade both look great. Tried one out in the middle of the open lawn first and it read as a lot smaller from the street, so a bed or a border is the better spot for it.
