Thanks

    Mine didn't give out any acceptable levels of light even after charging in summer in mid England.
    Got rid and bought a Wickes 120w PIR light for £9. Plenty of light from that.
    Forgotten but not gone.
  • I bought one of these http://www.thesolarcentre.co.uk/products/Evo15_Solar_PIR_Utility_Light-357-7.html and it was so great, I bought another two. I have one by the back gate, one by the back door, and one for my greenhouse. A really bright light and my 1st one has worked perfectly through the dark days of winter for 2 or 3 years now (I'm in the Midlands). Easy to install, just a small panel to catch the sun and a long wire to the light, so should be able to fit it in most places. Miles better than previous styles of solar lights I've tried - technology has moved on a lot.
    This one is £20 at the moment, and I was recently sent a code sep12 for 20% discount till 30th Sept.
