A guy sent me an email today about something I’ve never thought of. Those solar powered landscape lights are cheap and stay on all night. The light isn’t very bright but it would beat candles in the house. Bring ‘em at night then take ‘em back out the next day to be recharged.

On that note, pay attention to the way you point them if they have a separate panel. They should generally point south, here in the US, unless you have trees blocking the sunlight.

I recently helped a geriatric neighbor with her lights. She had all the panels pointing North. ;)

Eventually, the battery inside the light wears out, so it's a good idea to stock up on replacements. The ones I had at the farm years ago were just AAA NiCd batteries and I just wedged a new one in place when the originals wore out.

Sacrifice one of the lights to figure out what battery you need, and get a few spares. You absolutely know that the day you need to use the light will be one week after the battery dies.
