Regarding those solar powered small lamps that are useful for outlining a
driveway: HD and Lowe's has them from several mfg's; usually in packs of 6
or 8 for around $ 30 or so. Do they really work ?

Yes, though the batties they require are lithium so cost a bit more.
replace them annually.

Lithium? They are Ni-Cads or NIMH.

Construction is cheap but they do work as far as
outlining the drive. Light output is about out half
that of a candle. Full recharge can occur in one sunny
day and they can stay lit as long as 15 hours
