Has anyone got solar powered garden lights and do they work, I'm not looking for something that I could read the small print on a legal document by, just something that provides a decent pool of light.
Wel yes they do. However in low light conditions in the winter months You may find that the batteries do not recharge enough during the day in order to light them up. In that case You may need to recharge the batteries yourself.
therwise though in summer weather, the recharging is quite good.
Probably varies from different solar lights available but the ones we have are crappy orange yokes which just use a LED. So be careful when shopping around. We took the plunge and went out to buy 12 mains powered lights for €40 in B&Q. Have yet to install them though.
