BS My wife wants landscape lights for the front yard. She's convinced that
BS solar powered lights will work fine, but I'm not sure. They do seem to be
BS less expensive than their hard-wired transformer & timer operated
BS counterparts. One of my concerns is that there are many areas of our yard
BS that do not receive direct sunlight. Another concern is that they don't
BS seem very bright.

Personally I would go with a solar sensor as opposed to a timer.
Timers need to be reset as the length of daylight hours increase for
the summer and decrease for the winter. We use an outdoor transformer
with built-in sensor here. Elderly friend has the mechanical timer
and always has to be fiddled with (guess who!).


BS Has anyone had any experience with these solar-powered lights? I'd be most
BS grateful for any comments or opinions on the pros and cons of solar vs.
BS standard landscape lights.

No personal experience with the solar lamps but you will need a
brighter light source to charge properly so seems they will not work
all that well in a shaded area.
