OUTDOOR SOLAR LIGHTS

The children have snapped the tops off my garden solar lights whilst playing football. Any ideas for using the broken tops please? The LEDs and solar panel bit still work they just sit on the floor and get more damaged.

Be creative and turn them into hanging solar lights, my dogs did the same thing . I purchased some plastic "jelly jars" outside lamp covers. Then placed the top over them, attached a wire hanger and now they hang from the trees. The dogs can’t get to them and it scatters low light through the yard. Maybe you could reuse them that way.

Could someone provide me with a fairly detailed explanation of how the technology in a Solar Garden Light works. Thanks!!

p.s. didn’t know where else to ask this, if anybody could suggest a more appropriate category, I shall promptly move it there.

I don’t know how to do links, so go to Howstuffworks.com and type in Solar Lights into the search. Under ‘Explanations’ the first three results should be what you are looking for.

Happy learning!

edit:
I think I figured it out…testing…

I am trying to use the solar panel off of Some garden Lights to power another light and i was wondering how many volts of power it produces. Thank You

at full sunlight, i’d say 1-3 volts. it all depends on the amount of energy it receives.
