Rain Gauge Outdoor Solar Powered LED Lights Rain Gauge Color Changeable Decorative Water Gauge for Yard,Garden,Patio,Lawn

I purchased this rain gauge not only for its practical function but also as a piece of garden sculpture. We'd had no precipitation in some time but today there was a gentle rain for much of the day. The gauge captured two inches and this was the approximate amount of precipitation that our area had received according to the local weather report. The tube is thick glass, it is easy to put together and the little bird is adorable. Whether it rains or not this little sculpture is a pretty addition to the garden.

easy to read, the green hummingbird is darling. quality of gauge seems good and, it’s adorable.

I forgot about the glass tube in Houston's low temp freeze with snow & ice and the glass tube was full of water, froze and broke, also. The LED died early on, after receiving the gauge. Can I order a couple of extra glass tubes?

I live in South Georgia where it is supposed to be warmer. This is the second time I have had a rain gauge shatter from winter weather. Two years ago, my rain gauge of ten years broke because of the freeze. Not bad after ten years. This one, though, only lasted two years. The glass was very thin and it shattered with the snow storm this year. The design is quite lovely and I like the wide opening.

I do NOT bend over these days, so I looked for one that wouldn't make me. This comes about to my waist (I'm 5'2" tall) so I can just reach out, lift out the glass tube, hold it up and read it. It has inches on the left and centimeters on the right, which is really nice when you can tell that a "trace" of rain is actually one millimeter or two!I have some trouble reading it, but that may be because I have eye problems that make it hard to focus. It SHOULD be easy to read for anyone with good vision, at least if you can hold it up against a dark solid-color background. (The markings are gold colored.)The scrollwork and bird are a nice decorative touch, very pretty.

It was beautiful until it wasn’t. The bottom of the glass tube broke out - went outside and found it like that. Have only had it 7 months. Can’t find a replacement tube that fits it because most replacements are a little wider than this one. Tried the ‘product support’ link in the Orders section and it takes you to Amazon cust service… not worth the time.

I didn’t expect that the little lightbulb would rest against the bottom of the rain gauge. The rain gauge is glass, and it slides through a ring at the top and rests in a cup at the bottom. The light comes up through a bottom hole and rests against the bottom of the glass gauge. So far it has been working great and the glass gauge is fairly secure and I doubt that wind is going to have any effect on it. I’d recommend it.

Sent this as a gift to an elderly friend with a new home. She was able to easily set it up 8n the yard and loves the decorative features.
