Solar pathway/driveway/garden lighting. [RE-wrenches]

[Todd Cory]

We use the intermatic solar lights. They have 2 models, one with one very bright yellow LED
and one with two. They both have 2 A ni-cads. The one with two LEDS is much brighter, but as
it has the same small panel (~4 sq. inch) on it's top, it's run time is slightly shorter. On
full sun days these units burn brightly for 5-6 hours and that is in the winter. Sometimes
when I barely see any solar input on my home system with 24 60 watt PV's these little gems
still burn brightly for several hours in the evening after it gets dark. Eagle hard ware has
them for about $17.00 each or a box of 4 for about $50.00.

Hope this helps,

Todd Cory
