I thought this was so pretty so I ordered it.  When I received it, it wouldn't light at all.  My husband thought we could just replace the battery with a battery you can charge.  When he took the globe off, there was a weird looking battery.  Our charger takes AA and AAA which is what our other solar lights take.  This can not be charged unless you want to order a special charger and lights for it.  Not interested in that route.  If only it took "normal" batteries it would be great, but not now.
