Solar garden lights (not sort you stick in ground)

As I dont unfortunately have a garden but a backyard I want some solar powered lights that can easy be mounted on a wall or shed to light up out yard on an evening and enjoy the lazy summer evenings outside.

I seen some mounted lights but there like 20 odd pound each and we need 4. I thought you could get some around the £20-£25 price mark as the ones you stick in soil are around £20 for 4.

Any ideas? Cheers

    I have seen mounted one but I have never really looked at the price.

    Would it not be possible to put up something that you can stick the light into? Also I hope you are not expecting much light from these things becasue all the ones I have seen only give out very small amount of light

    I have plant pots but TBH they are often quiet full as I am always buying plants and dont really want to fill up which is often overcrowded pots with lights. I realise the lights arent all that powerful its mainly just to take the darkness off.

    I bought some small mounted wall ones from Homebase. They are £4.99 each but they often have them on a 3 for 2 offer and I bought them on a 10% off weekend. I think they have a 10% off day this weekend. The light is quite reasonable from these although the ones that get full sun all day are much brighter than those whch only receive partial sun.

    Thanks Shopndrop. Unfortunately we dont have a homebase near us, nearest one is 55 miles away at York, only have B&Q :( If worse comes to worse I will go to York on a shopping trip :)

    Hi shrek101

    I have the ones from homebase to, i looked everywhere and found these to be the nicest looking ones for hanging. Homebase do deliver but these lights are not on the website. Maybe you know someone who lives near a store that could pick up and post, these are not heavy.

    The shopping channels are always selling ones that you can turn into lamps on patios.
