Hi All,

My brother wants some lights to go atop some small pillars in his garden.

Hed like LED solar powered.

Can anyone recommend any that will work for a few hours operation having
charged under our winter skies? Or is it a non starter?

Basically a none starter for solar powered anything in winter.

Depending on why he wants garden lighting the optimum solution may well
be a PIR activated LED lamp along these lines. I have one at my back
door so you can see the bell push and keyhole in mid winter. It lasts a
couple of years on one set of 3xC batteries with typical use profile.

The exact model I have has long since been discontinued but this one
looks broadly comparable although brighter. LEDs improve with time...
