Want to get some decent outdoor lights. Auto day light switching and solar powered ideally but otherwise 12v as the run will be up to 100yds with 5-10 lights on it

I've seen some outdoor leds which were very weedy . Give out very little light So what spec would I be looking for ? No of leds? Wattage ?And wht duration could I expect on a winters night where it is dark from 17:00 to 08:00

Thanks in advance for all info


I already have some solar powered.
The problem is in Winter the days are short/cloudy and the nights and shadows are long.
Consequently they don't get a full charge at this time of year.
So at the time most needed, they function least well.

You have to be very careful where you site them, ie in full sunlight for as long as possible.

No wires to run, so easy and convenient to install.
