Solar garden lights, any good?

[sidekickdmr]

Boring topic I know but need some light in my garden and don't really want to be wiring it in!

Would something like this work or just be dim and rubbish?

Make sure they have more than one battery! single battery ones last about 2 hours max I've found.

nope, they do not work well at all in the real world. Annoying come mowing time too.

Just as i thought!
Looks like I'm getting some wiring done then,

Cheers guys

In the middle of summer, my single battery lights are still on the next morning.

As lights yes, they are ok if you want to mark out a drive, but not for lighting up anything. They put out about as much light as a candle.
