..well more like $28.99 X 2. I'll explain.
After some researching and a bit of trial and error, I found these solar flood lights which I recently installed onto my screen with some handy DIY creativity.
Ongoing cost = $0.00.
Ambience in backyard = $28.99* !
Created a small platform attached to a screening panel.
Full brightness on when the sensor is activated. (drops down to low lever light thereafter)
Placed the other light on the window screen. Very Impressed with the brightness.
*Product : Arlec 5W integrated solar powered sensor LED floodlight
Thanks again @rattle 😁
Fantastic effort @Chaks_DIY.
That's exactly what I was thinking of and you couldn't have pulled it off better.
Great work.

Was it October 2020 when you did this? i have not been impressed with garden solar lights in the past only lasted a couple of years. Will be interested how long this lasts and how long it works in winter.

Similar experience, but it was quite some time ago - I suspect technology has improved?
The photos above look great!

Thanks guys !
I've had some dodgy solar lights before too but these are a stand out for all the good reasons. Solid build and they appear to be a world ahead in quality.
No issues so far, even on cloudy days. Admittedly, my backyard orientation is quite favourable too. But time will tell 🙂
