Solar panel shed light - are they any good?

[Becky92]

I was just browsing the web and came across them and wondered if any1 had 1 or has had 1 in the past. my shed has no power for many reasons - rented accomodation, lack of diy skills, money & fire risk.

I would obviously love electric in there but cant have any so in winter i have torches and a wind up led lantern to light my shed but obviously something like this would be very useful.

When my girls lived in the outhouse, we had a solar panel light. It worked pretty well although we only used it when we went in to them so it wasn't switched on all the time. For that price though, I would personally go for it
