The Cat Comes Out
at Dusk
A black cat sitting on a star-cut crescent moon, with a little jack-o-lantern lantern swinging from a hook beside it. It charges in daylight and lights itself at dark — warm pumpkin glow, stars showing through the moon. No cord, no timer.

This is the whole pitch
Five seconds of a real front path at night. Three of them, lanterns lit, stars showing through the moons, all the way up to the door.
Halloween decor that still works at 9pm
Most yard decorations disappear the moment the sun goes down — which is exactly when trick-or-treaters actually walk past. This one is only getting started.
The pumpkin actually glows
The hanging lantern is amber glass with a carved face and a warm LED inside. It reads as a lit jack-o-lantern from the sidewalk, not a dark ornament.
The moon throws stars
Star and moon shapes are cut clean through the metal crescent, so the light inside spills out through them and drops little points of light on the ground.
Charges itself, all day
A solar panel sits on the stake below the moon. Roughly six to eight hours of daylight is a full charge. Nothing to plug in, no batteries to buy.
On at dusk, off at dawn
A light sensor brings it on as the light drops and runs it about eight hours on a full charge, straight through prime trick-or-treat hours.
Built for the whole season
Weather-resistant coated metal, not plastic. October rain, wind and sprinklers are fine — it is made to stand outside from the first of the month to the last.
It photographs well
It is the piece people stop and take a picture of. That is most of the reason the multi-packs move faster than the single.
Cut metal, not moulded plastic
The crescent is real metal with a hammered, antiqued bronze-black finish and the stars punched clean through it. The cat is sculpted with whiskers and a curled tail. Up close it reads as a decor piece, not a seasonal throwaway.
- Coated metal, weather-resistant finish
- Star and moon shapes cut clean through
- Amber glass jack-o-lantern lantern
33.5 inches tall — it reads from the sidewalk
At 85cm on the stake and 18cm across the moon, it stands about mid-thigh on most adults. That is the difference between a decoration people notice from the street and one that vanishes into the flower bed.
- 33.46 in / 85 cm tall on the stake
- 7.09 in / 18 cm across the moon
- Two-piece stake pushes straight into soil
Warm candle-orange, not blue-white
The LED inside the lantern is warm, so the amber glass reads like a real candle behind a carved face. The same glow leaks through the star cutouts in the moon. It looks like Halloween, not like a security light.
- Warm amber glow through the carved face
- Stars light up through the crescent
- About 8 hours on a full charge
Three minutes, once
Push it in
Assemble the two stake sections, pick a spot that gets a good part of the day's sun, and press it into the soil.
Give it a day
Let it take one full day of daylight before you judge it. The first charge is the one people get impatient with.
Leave it alone
It comes on by itself that evening and every evening after, right through to November.
One is an ornament. Three is a display.
A single stake marks the corner of a bed. Spaced along the front path, they turn into the lighting — which is what people actually photograph. Over $50 ships free.
What buyers say
“Put two either side of the front path at the start of October and they got more comments than the whole rest of the display. The pumpkin glow is warm, not that harsh blue-white you get on cheap solar.”
“Came on by itself the first night after one sunny day and it has done it every night since. No timer to set, no cord across the lawn, which was the whole reason I bought it.”
“It is metal, not the plastic I was half expecting for the price. The star cutouts in the moon throw little points of light on the mulch which I did not expect and now it is my favourite part.”
“Taller than I pictured. It stands about mid-thigh on me, so it actually reads from the sidewalk rather than disappearing into the flower bed.”
“Bought a set of four for the walkway. Went through two hard rainstorms in October with no problem and they all still light up.”
“The cat is genuinely charming close up, whiskers and all. My neighbour ordered one the week after she saw ours.”

Before you order
33.46 inches / 85 cm from the bottom of the stake to the top of the moon, and 7.09 inches / 18 cm across the moon itself. On most adults that is about mid-thigh, so it stands well clear of low planting.
Neither. There is a solar panel on the stake and a rechargeable cell behind it. About six to eight hours of daylight gives a full charge, and it runs roughly eight hours after dark on that.
Warm. The lantern glass is amber and the LED behind it is warm-white, so it reads like candlelight through a carved pumpkin rather than the blue-white of a security lamp.
Yes — it is coated metal built for outdoor seasonal display, so rain, wind and sprinklers are fine. Do not submerge it or leave it standing in a puddle, and bring it in if a genuine storm is forecast.
The moon, stars and cat read as general garden decor once the season is over, so plenty of people leave them up through the autumn. Where winter freezes hard, bring it in — the panel charges very little in midwinter anyway.
Along a front path or at the edge of a bed, where the glow has ground and planting to fall on and people walk close enough to see the cat. On open lawn there is nothing for the light to land on and it loses some of the effect.
