Where to buy Solar-powered landscape lighting?

lighting. These lights look very much like the low voltage pagoda-style
lighting that is readily available anywhere. But for many reasons, I would
prefer to use the solar-powered lighting, but they are hard to find, and are
quite expensive. Does anyone have any opinions on these lights? And, can
anyone tell me where I might buy them?
websites......catalogues.......stores......etc. Thanks! Jane <--------tired

check on BP (british petroleum) and Seimens they produce some plastic
compact units that are quite neat as garden light (and decor)
..Light up a 6 watt floresence lamp for a few hours.
Of course it is not really bright.
Cost about 30usd couple of years ago , should be cheaper now.
If you want more powerful versions, they have it too,
but I know little of them.

found the light they put out to be totally inadequate.
I bought some at Home Depot, and ended up returning them-- go with the
low-voltage type. More dependable and lots less $$.

lighting. I bought several of them and placed them throughout the yard. They
stopped working just past a year (long enough for the warranty to expire). The
brand I bought were Siemens (sp?). I live in Metro-Phoenix, and the only thing
that I can think of that might have happened, is the intense heat beating down on
the top of them made the solder on the circuit board dry or crack, and the
connection was lost. I replaced bulbs and everything, and they still would not
work. What a waste of money! I paid something like $37 a piece at that time--
thinking higher cost, better quality, NOT!

http://www.global-merchants.com/home/solars.htm. They have several
decent models of solar-powered lights. Expect a long download time for
the front page.

The light output is abysmal and will only last a couple of hours after
sunset. Baiscally the problem with these solar lights is that the
solar panel and the battery are inadequately sized.
