A Lady bought 18 of these.
Glass. Well made apart from how the P.V. Panel is fixed on top.

All have failed because the P.V. Panels will not produce any voltage.

Best to take off the. To buy list. :shock:

I’ve bought a few different ones of these over the years. The 79p ones are garbage. I tried the £3.99 ones encouraged because they contained a NiMH AA that could be upgraded. But they lasted a single year too (water ingress and corrosion).

I prefer my own solar battery lighting as used in our last power cut. :twisted:

It really was almost pitch back when I took that picture but the latest iphones make it look like daylight.
