Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Product Description
Perfect for both holiday decorating and everyday year-round use, GKI Bethlehem Lighting’s hurricane vase combines a handsome classic style with safe, reliable performance.

The curvaceous, opaque white body nestles into a polished brass base and houses a flickering LED light that emits a realistic fire-like glow. Set on a mantelpiece, dining table, or windowsill, the effect is cozy and warm for hours of soft mood lighting that doesn’t require supervision.

LED lights also last longer, are more cost efficient to use, burn cool to the touch, and shine brighter than traditional bulbs. The hurrican vase measures 12 inches high and is battery operated.

Customer Reviews

This lamp got a 1 rating only because a 0 rating doesn't exist!
The only reason I didn't return this lamp is because shipping would have cost more than the refund for what I paid ($6.60). The lamp doesn't work, and would never have worked given the poorly engineered battery compartment.

The plastic cover won't stay on tight enough for the batteries to make a connection. The 3 C batteries sit on the battery cover, and sheer gravitational pull actually pops the cover loose.

I tried taping it shut with masking, duct, and packaging tapes, all to no avail. The lamp is useless and will go to Goodwill on the next trip. Maybe someone can use the glass dome by itself.

Piece of poo
As you can see, the original price was $50 and now it's under $10. The reason is that it's really not a good product at all. It might be a good idea to give as a gift but not as one that you would want to keep for yourselves.

Since it's battery operated, you will need to change the battery every now and then. The light emitted by the bulb with the 3 batteries is not even nice looking. And one of the most annoying thing is that you have to lift up the hurricane vase to get to the small on/off power switch.

It appears nice in the picture, but it's clearly a cheap product in person.

Wonderful
This was such a wonderful item. It was better than I thought it would be. I wasn't expecting something so beautiful. I love it! It makes a wonderful Christmas decoration. NOT CHILDPROOF!

The vase is heavy glass and tall so I wouldn't recommend sitting this somewhere where there would be a lot of traffic, pets or kids! The style of the product is really amazing. The picture doesn't do it justice.
