To continue my driveway renovation, I installed a set of sensor-activated solar lights to illuminate its darkest portion. The install was easy, and it looks pretty decent (if you can get over the extra wires).
It only cost me $30 and I'll never have to pay for its energy use, so I thought it was a good buy. But, I have a couple of gripes: the sensor could be more sensitive, and the lights could be brighter. I should have realized that the lights would not be very powerful, as each light has only 3 LEDs in them. I have another set I had planned on installing in my backyard, too. I may actually see if it can be returned so I can find a different solar light option.
Has anyone else successfully used solar lights? I have a couple others in other areas of my backyard, and I'm not very pleased with their light output. I guess that's just the nature of the product.

I have this same set and am not completely satisfied. They seem to work when they get a lot of sunlight. But in Nebraska in the fall and winter you don't always have sun.
Great idea. $30 dollars is not bad.
