With the darker evenings creeping in I thought I'd show the switchable solar lights I have in the greenhouses. They're handy if you just need to pop into a greenhouse after dark. Also handy if there's a power cut 
as they should always be charged up.
All can be set to come on automatically at dusk or switch only. I use them on the second option.
No.1 is a two piece. the solar panel is separate and the LED 'bulb' has a handy wrist strap to hang from or if you want to carry it around. A mount really has to be home made for the panel. The switch is on the top next to the jack plug.
12 LEDs
Total cost £4.05
A good light, the separate solar panel gives a much larger charging area but also requires a place to sit it.
No.2 A single piece just hang it up and you're away. The switch is on the photo on the right on the led cover.
5 LEDs
Total cost £3.58
This was the first one I acquired. the supplier ran out so I couldn't order another.
No.3 This is the latest acquisition, arriving just this week It is in the Darlingtonia house and illuminates the whole area well enough. I ordered another
7 LEDs
Total cost £4.85
