Anyone recommend a good set?
There are loads on the likes of amazon but reviews always vary from the "greatest buy ever" to "utter sh#t" on the same light set.
I like the idea of solar as no faffing with a supply.

Thanks

 

I bought some and what a waste of cash, I presume unless you spend lots of money on one light they will all be crap.

 

Got some off eBay for 12.99 , fitted them yesterday still working

 

Sounds like you're only expecting them to last 1 week!

 

I bought some cheap (2 for a £10) mini bollard things from Tesco 3 years ago. Leave them out in all weathers and they're still going strong and after a decent sunny day will be lit up for hours.

However, previously I've bought some cheap ones from Wilcos that even with a full days strong sunshine will only light up for 3 hours max and be dead if you leave them out in winter.

However, I would say solar lights are for 'feature' lighting rather than task lighting (lighting a path etc).

 

The instructions were in Chinese lol so I'm not full of confidence

But I went down at 3.40 am today and was still on !!

 

I got some from wilkinsons,
15 or so dome shaped lights on spikes. With one panel.
They've been very good
