Suzanne Said:

Will a strong spotlight recharge a solar garden light?

We Answered:

It is very possible. The light waves streaming off of the filament in the spot light is similar to the light waves coming from the sun.

If you have ever used a calculator that was powered only by a solar cell pack, and you've used it inside, only under normal room lighting, then you know that, yes, a spotlight can charge a solar garden light, if it puts out enough power.

Where to go to repair a garden solar novelty light?

We Answered:

I've bought quite a few different solar novelty lights, and I've found that they just don't last very long at all. It would probably cost more to take it to an electrician or someone to fix it. Your best bet would be if you know someone who knows how to work with wiring and let them give it a try.
