What do I need and where can I buy a part for solar lantern?
I Purchased an outdoor lantern from a closeout store. There is no brand anywhere to be found. It is missing the entire top where the solar panel goes. Ip appears to have everything else including the actual light which is inside a removeable candle shape that is in the bottom of the lantern. It even has the wire coming from the light at the bottom going to the top with a male conector that I assume is supposed to plug into the solar panel. If I can at least get a solar panel I am sure that I can figure a way to attach it to the top. Please tell me what I need to buy to get it going. The lantern is 9 and 1/8" square with the center opening of 7 and 3/8" square. I have attached photos so you can see what type connecter it has.
Thanks in advance,
Kimberly
I wish you luck, but chances are it was made in China and replacements parts are usually not available.
That is going to be tough to nearly impossible. What I personally would do is buy a solar light from Dollar Tree for a buck. Might even find a lantern type. Then try to make it fit the lamp. Would need to cut the connector to make it work leaving enough wire to reconnect of it doesn't work out. And if it doesn't it's just a buck out of the pocket.

you can also google the type lantern you have and see if you can find the parts that way
You could buy some dollar store solar lights and build them into a wooden top that would fit the square opening
