A quick product review - Solar Garden Lights by Gardman
Hmmm, not bad. Four solar lights for £5. They look pretty good in the brushed steel look that's so common these days. The solar cell and light sensor is built into the top with no cracks for water to seep into. So far they've been subjected to one of the wettest periods on record for September and they seem to have survived.
Even on a dull wet day they charged up enough to come on around 7pm and they were still on when we got up for work at 6am the next day. The light isn't particularly bright, but that's not really the idea. They don't screw together as well as I would quite like and I'm not sure they'll survive repeated run ins with a toddler, but we'll see.
But for £1.25 each I'm quite impressed. Not sure I'd have paid £14.95 for four (the advertised retail price) for them, but for a fiver they make a nice addition to the garden.
[About the photo: a long exposure tripod shot, slightly over exposed. Its a rainy night and the low lying clouds are reflecting the orange street lamps giving my something of a white balance problem here!]
