Roland Said:

need a place that seels solar lighting for outside gardens at good prices?

We Answered:

Harbor freight tools. They also have a website Harborfreighttools.com

Rhonda Said:

Can i keep my solar lights outside all winter long even when it snows?

We Answered:

You'd prolong their life by bringing them in, but they are made to stay out. Plus, it'll be pretty to see the lights on the snow.

Bernice Said:

Are there outside motion detector lights, or dusk to dawn lights available that are solar charged?

We Answered:

Yes there are but in my opinion, they are very poor for lighting. Maybe ok to line a sidewalk with but their power dention is minimal. They will provide a weak light for 4-6 hours but will not set the world on fire nor keep you or you neighbors awake with their brilliance. I guess ok, if the point is to outline you sidewalks with a little light until midnight or so.

Tonya Said:

can i fix outside solar lights?

We Answered:

Actually, despite some really immature attempts at humor, this is a legitimate question.

I have the same problem, and after researching it, they are NOT cheap to replace, at least not the fancy ones I bought.

I opened one of mine up to discover that they are powered by a common, relatively cheap rechargable AA battery.

I stuck a good AA in and presto, it lit up (in the dark). Check out the type/price of battery and check-em out!

I'm thinking of buying Malibu solar lights for the outside. OSH is selling 10 lights for $40?

We Answered:

I use them all over my back and front yard to light walkways (and to spy on the dogs at night when I let them outside). The solar lights have to be placed where they receive adequate sun during the day for optimal light at night. They are not as bright as the electric ones, so you need more spaced closely together so you don't get dark spots. If you place them near plants, you have to check them now and again to see whether the plant is obstructing the sun and prune it back if it is. The price OSH is offering them for is reasonable and I think you will be happier with the stainless if you treat it with the Zep stainless steel cleaner and protector first. The stainless ones tend to get a lot of water spots and get cloudy and crusty on the surface if you don't. Zep applied a couple of times of year keeps them looking brand new.

Sylvia Said:

Are solar garden lights able to remain outside if it is about to rain outside?

We Answered:

Some are made from materials that rust some are made from material that does not rust. In either case both will charge on a gloomy day. They are made for the outdoors. If you have snow you must keep the snow off the unit to allow the light to charge the panel.
