I don`t know if they`re any good or not, but my local Homebase is doing a "buy one get one free" offer on them, which makes them about £13 for two, if memory serves...

I thought about them,but having spoken to 2 people who did I don`t think I`ll bother.
They say they are very very poor. :(

My parents have had all sorts of the solar lights and they have nothing but contempt for them I`m afraid! They only just light up enough to be seen if you squint hard and it`s a clear evening! They bought some wired ones from Focus recently as they have a 50% off sale for exterior lighting at present. Some nice gear there too.
Good luck...Flyer...

They`re fine for marking the edge of a path or being dotted around the garden. Just don`t expect them to illuminate anything ;)

Do not be alarmed. That strange sound is simply
my mind boggling.

Don`t go anywhere near solar lights, they are useless. To be honest, the things should not ever have been released onto the market, as they barely give off enough light to register.

I have some solar garden lights which edge my rockery. They give off a pretty bright light - slightly bluish white - and for simple ornamental use, they`re fine. They actually contain a rechargeable AA battery and in the summer stay on all night.
