  • I have just checked Fleabay and put the search in for IKEA SOLAR DESK LAMP it came up with two different sellers for this sunnan model 1 in the states for £26 plus postage and one in the UK for £14 plus £3.70 postage might be worth a look if you don't have an Ikea within easy reach, Cheers Lyn xxx.

    I'll add another plug for Sunnan lamps; I have a couple & am planning to buy several more. I use them in several situations where mains 'leccy isn't much use; under the sink where I have stuff stored but damp is a continual presence, on my treadle sewing machine after dark, out in the chickenshed (no mains cable out there) in fact anywhere you might need task lighting but don't want live or trailing wires. I don't know how long the batteries last but I reckon they well & truly pay their way in sheer usefulness in everyday life, never mind SHTF situations.

    Thanks thriftwizard lol I'll be happy once he's home too.I've got to let him do things like this for his confidence but its hard at times.

    He's rung to say he's there safely and is very proud of himself as he found an even quicker route this time :D
    He's all excited as the bloke from Shaun of the dead/worlds end/hot fuzz etc is going to be there.Some people have all the fun!
