Solar Motion Ferris Wheel 5
Spectacular Product! A perfect night lamp with a unique twist. The ferris wheel goes around by use of solar panels, or the light bulb. Perfect gift for creative people! Absolutely beautiful, and very detailed...well made.

Solar powered ferris wheel5
I received this little solar powered ferris wheel/lamp as a Christmas gift. It's a very unique product, unlike any that I have seen. The wheel turns with the use of the small solar panel. It will turn with the use of a 40 watt light bulb, or you can aim the solar panel at the sunlight and the ferris wheel will turn, too.

The only small drawback that I have noticed about it, is that the original type of 40 watt bulb is hard to find. The original bulb is surrounded by a small wire protector. The website states to look at your local store for a 40 watt appliance bulb. I looked all over and was not able to find a bulb like the original one. Most 40 watt appliance bulbs that I found had a base too large to screw down into the bulb socket. However, a 40 watt chandelier bulb works just fine.

If you use a chandelier bulb as a replacement, you have to pull out the wire protector that surrounds the bulb socket so the the bulb will fit. (chandelier bulbs are taller) Other than that, this is a great little ferris wheel and it's really neat to watch! I recommend it.
