Leslie Shapiro over at Dvice waxes lyrical over these solar-powered lamps, saying that they:Light the way in a rainbow of green goodness.Yes, high-tech votary lamps to praise Blessed Gaia. Pace the green credentials of the solar panels and the nicad batteries, we use solar lamps at Chez Szondy to keep the paths lit, but have found that a) the batteries fail with mind-numbing regularity and b) they only really work well in the middle of Summer when you need them least.
That's why I've gone over to LED motion detector lights instead. Not as "green", but at least I can use them under the trees so I can get to the wood shed in the winter without tripping over roots.
