Another link, this guy also does solar lights, pumps etc, and wind power, these lights are quality items, hence bit more money.

Solar Energy Asia

I worked at a solar company years ago and we used to sell lights that looked just like that. Unfortunately we also got most of them back for warranty as they were useless.

Not saying this guy's ones are shite but I would be interested to see how long they work for. Solar has come a long way since I worked with it.

hillbilly · 04-12-2006, 03:11 PM

We are in the process of talking to this guy now.

I think that we are going to order 2 lights to begin with and see how they work out.

Will keep you updated.

hillbilly · 13-12-2006, 04:49 PM

Still no reply from the company about my request. Will try again.

I have some that I bought in the UK and brought to Thailand a few months ago. They are ok but 1 of the four didn't work right out of the box it looks identical to the one in the OP's picture. They need direct sunlight so don't place them near places that get shady.

Has anyone heard back from this company or has used the lights? I'll be back in Thailand next Friday and if the lights are even half-way decent, I'll buy 10 of them.

I know someone who bought some. They're 'ok'. Dont expect more than about 4 hours illumination out of the them on the rechargeable battery provided and it's more of a 'glow' than a 'light'. They look good along a garden parh of something though.
