One of the solar lights around my planting bed has decided to start
flashing all night. Actually strobing is probably a better indicator of
how fast it is flashing. Anybody have any ideas about cause and how to
fix or should I just pick up another one next time I an out.

I've had them do that. *I fooled around with one for a bit but decided
that they wrere made to be pretty much disposable. *I've had better
luck with the walmart $3 ones than any others for longevity. * Plus
when a $3 one does crap out you don't feel the need to do anything
other than throw it in the trash and stick in a new one.


HASN''T ANY OF YOU TRIED REMOVING THE RECHARGEABLE CELLS AND BOOSTING
THEM ON A BENCH CHARGER?????IF THE CELLS ARE STILL GOOD, IT WORKS
AGAIN LIKE NEW.

Yes, I've done that. You can use an ordinary nicad recharger.
Problem is that if the fixture can't keep it charged enough it will
fail again soon.
