Just been looking at this site http://www.smartsolar.com/home
In the FAQ section is the following;


Q) I tried to charge my new light under a lamp and it does not work. What
should I do?

A) Our lights will not charge indoors under a lamp with artificial
lighting. They need to be placed outside in direct sunlight to charge.
Before packaging lights the batteries are tested and 30% charged. We
recommend placing allowing up to full 3 days of sunlight to fully charge
the batteries before initially using the light.

How does that work then? I thought light was light?

Sunlight is rather brighter than most artificial - a camera will confirm
this for you :-)
