HI Folks

Another of those projects that's been on the back-burner for a while is
devising 'something' to finish off the stone-built gateposts at the
entrance to our place.

Suddenly - bright idea g - literally !

Considering making a couple of 'lanterns' with stained glass - powered
by solar-recharged high intensity leds (it's a long way to run a mains
cable down to the gates from the house).

Mostly for decoration (and for a bit of fun!) - not expecting
quartz-halogen-style illumination !

So - any recommendations for solar lighting kit that people have
actually used and found to be effective. I can see that prices range
from the ridiculously cheap up to 20 quid or so for something that's
probably a bit more useful like this from CPC

I'm guessing that the cheapest devices are going to have very
short-lived batteries in them... what's a sensible price-point for a
decent solar lighting kit ??

Thanks
Adrian
