summarizeEditor's Summary

I've had these HomeClub LED Decorative Lamp and LED Fireplace Lantern for a while now, and they're pretty additions to any room, but they're not without their design flaws. The lamps are aesthetically pleasing, but the packaging is lacking and the build quality could be better. They're a decent decorative element, but they're not perfect. The design of both lamps is nice, and they're a great way to add some ambiance to a room. They're relatively easy to set up and use, even for someone who's not tech-savvy. The LED lights are energy-efficient and last a long time, which is a major plus. The lamps are a good value for the price, especially considering their build quality. They're a great option for city dwellers who want to add some warmth to their space without a real fireplace. The lamps are a nice conversation starter and can be a great talking point for guests.

A Pretty Product with Some Major Design Flaws

I've gotta say, our introduction to decorative devices like this started with the HomeClub LED Decorative Lamp, 24cm, Article 203313 model. It turned out to be a bit of a mood-booster, despite initially seeming like a total waste of space. Of course, it's not exactly like having a real fireplace, but for city dwellers, it's a decent decorative element.

By the end of the previous year, we also got the LED Fireplace Lantern Decorative Light, Model SP-51. It's also a pretty elegant and aesthetically pleasing thing (as much as you can expect from plastic, rather than intricately carved wood), but it grabs your attention immediately, at least a few things. First off, the packaging doesn't even hint at which specific model it is – I had to figure it out by process of elimination. The manufacturer doesn't seem to be putting in much effort, and it appears they're just stamping out the same box for four similar-looking but different models.

One of the things that caught my eye was the design of the product. It's a nice-looking piece, but it's not without its flaws. The first thing that struck me was the lack of clear labeling on the packaging. I had to do some research to figure out which model I had, and even then, I wasn't entirely sure. It's not a huge issue, but it's something that could be improved.

Another thing that I noticed was the power source. Instead of relying on batteries, this product plugs directly into the mains. That's a good thing, as it means you don't have to worry about running out of power or dealing with the hassle of replacing batteries.

However, the sound of this product is a major issue. Instead of a gentle crackle like the one in the other fireplace I reviewed, this one has a dull hum that gets louder and louder with each passing week. It's like someone took a chainsaw and started revving it up. I was so fed up with the noise that I took it to a trusted repair service. The girl at the desk said it might be the fan, but I was skeptical – there's nothing to ventilate in there, it's just a bunch of microchips.

I left it at the repair shop, expecting them to fix it within a week or two. But the next day, I got a call saying it was ready. I went back to the shop, and the guy handed me the fireplace in a box, saying 'No repair needed.' I asked him what he meant, and he just shrugged and said, 'The reducer is faulty, and there's nothing we can do about it.' In other words, this thing was defective from the start, and the noise was just getting worse over time. I was stunned.

I brought the thing back home and I'm still trying to figure out how to get rid of that annoying tractor sound, even if it means leaving out the cool effects like moving flames and sparks in the fireplace. I just want a simple, stabilized background picture without that noise. I haven't taken it apart yet, so if anyone has any 'life hacks' to share on this topic, I'd really appreciate it!

To sum it up, I've attached a couple of photos I took of the visual aspects that might catch the eye of someone interested in this kind of decor:

Overall, I would not recommend this product to anyone. The design flaws and the annoying sound make it a product that I would not want to use in my home. I would recommend looking elsewhere for a decorative fireplace that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
