A closer look at the clean planter form, 16-gauge steel construction, porch scale, and the white acrylic light panel after dark.
Size and setup
Built as a planter first. Illuminated through one clean vertical panel.
The planter ships fully assembled with a removable insert, drainage holes, and a solar lighting system tucked inside. The light is decorative ambient illumination, not a security or pathway light.
Sizes
Small, medium, and large
Body
16-gauge steel
Setup
Removable insert, drainage, solar LED system
Solar panel, charge controller, battery, and LED strip work together behind the acrylic light panel.
Lighting system
Solar powered, with realistic expectations.
High-efficiency solar panel, charge controller, rechargeable battery, and warm white 3000K LED strip behind a white acrylic light panel. Solar performance depends on direct sun and season. On a full sunny charge, expect warm white evening accent light; runtime varies by weather, placement, and season.
What matters
A modern planter that still feels substantial outside.
Integrated glow
The warm white LED strip sits behind a white acrylic panel for a clean architectural line.
Two finishes
Choose matte black powder coat for a clean modern look or weathering steel for a natural patina.
How it works
Set it outside. Let the sun handle the rest.
Use EmberRoot like a normal outdoor planter. During the day the solar panel charges the battery; after dark, the acrylic panel turns into a warm vertical line of light.
1. Place it
Use it by an entry, patio, porch, pool area, cabin, or lake-home deck.
2. Plant it
Add real flowers, greenery, herbs, or a seasonal arrangement.
3. Charge it
The solar light charges during daylight without cords or trenching.
4. Let it glow
After sunset, the acrylic panel becomes warm accent light, not a harsh floodlight.
The feeling
One vertical glow changes the whole entrance.
The planting gives the space life during the day. After sunset, the light panel gives the planter a second job: atmosphere.
Front entry
Use a pair to frame the door with clean light and live planting.
Patio
Add low, warm accent light where people sit, talk, and stay longer.
Backyard
Give decks, pool areas, and garden paths a finished object instead of another small solar stake.

Finish option
Weathering steel brings a warmer, more natural look.
Choose weathering steel if you want the planter to feel more organic beside stone, wood, brick, garden beds, and lake or cabin settings. It starts with a raw steel character and develops more patina as it lives outside.
Living finish
The surface changes outdoors instead of staying perfectly uniform.
Warm contrast
The rust-brown steel pairs naturally with the clean white vertical glow.
Best fit
Strong choice for cabins, lake homes, garden patios, and natural-material porches.
Questions
What people ask first.
Does EmberRoot need to be plugged in?

Can I use real plants?
Yes. Includes removable planter insert and drainage holes. Use potting mix or nursery pot inserts; avoid letting standing water collect inside. Plants are not included.
What finishes are available?
Matte black powder coat and weathering steel. Weathering steel develops a natural patina over time; powder coat keeps a cleaner sealed look.
How bright is it?
Solar performance depends on direct sun and season. On a full sunny charge, expect warm white evening accent light; runtime varies by weather, placement, and season. It is decorative ambient light, not pathway lighting or a security floodlight.

Small: 12 in W x 12 in D x 18 in H; Medium: 16 in W x 16 in D x 24 in H; Large: 20 in W x 20 in D x 30 in H
