Solar lights

Hi all, looking for some opinions please. Need to buy some solar lights for the garden but not sure where is best to get them from - has anyone bought any recently they would recommend? Preferably not too expensive :beer:

    I bought a set of 10 that claimed to have been reduced from £100, i.e. £10 per light. They were crap, didnt charge very well, didn't hold charge long and while they lit really well, it barely lasted 2 hours into the evening. Plus they all broke really easily.
    While I'm sure you can get ones that work well and are good, if that price-point is anything to go by you'll not get anything 'cheap'. I'd reckon £15 and upwards per light to get a decent product.
