⚡ At a Glance
  • Visual Effect: Variable-speed glitter mechanism produces gentle or faster snowfall for a realistic display
  • Best for: Holiday table centres, mantel displays and indoor festive lighting scenes
  • Not ideal for: Outdoor use or rooms exposed to moisture due to IP20 protection rating

Battery or USB operation with a 1.8m cable included and a clip-closed battery compartment for easy access. An internal mechanism moves glitter at two speeds to create a falling-snow effect.


Charming snowfall on demand – Thanks to an internal glitter circulation mechanism

Switching on starts a motor-driven system that circulates glitter flakes under the roof, alternating between faster and slower speeds. The two-speed mechanism changes the pace of falling flakes to mimic different snowfall intensities.

A convincing miniature snow scene adds seasonal atmosphere to any room and suits both mantel and tabletop displays.

Flexible placement options – With battery or USB power

Operates from 3xAA 1.5V batteries (not included) or via the supplied 1.8m USB cable for continuous power. The battery compartment closes with a simple clip for tool-free access.

Place the lantern where sockets are scarce thanks to battery operation, or run continuous displays by plugging into USB power.

Hands-off lighting routine – With an integrated 5-hour timer function

An integrated timer provides a 5-hour on, 19-hour off cycle, repeating daily at the same time once set. Estimated battery operation can reach up to around 80 hours depending on usage.

Set up nightly illumination without daily switching, conserving battery life while keeping a reliable festive presence.
