Hi John. Can you show us what those small lights on the sides of your bed look like at night? I was thinking about getting the same thing and i’m curious. Do the lights on the north sides of your bed get enough sun to still light up? I was also thinking about getting solar lights as post caps for the 4×4 posts in the corners of the beds. What do you think of that idea?
Screw in LED’s into regular incadescent receptacle start at $19 to $25 for a 60 watt equivalent (uses 6 watts), and maybe $35 to $69 for a 100 watt equivalent (uses 13 watts, compared to a compact florescnet, cfl, at 23 to 27 watts). These use electricity not solar prices.
Yes, in cases where the battery is the problem, you can replace it (with a rechargeable) battery and it will continue to work. Sometimes I have found the part that goes bad is the solar charging aspect, in which case, it will no longer work even if you change the battery.
During a hurricane those lights are life savers. Sometime you can go 9 weeks without electricity and those little lights work well and are much better than pitch black dark.
I don’t know what it’s like in the US but here in Ireland most graveyards look like airport runways at night with all these little red solar lights on the graves. At night my father’s grave looks like a missing tooth because I refuse to put decorations on a grave.
Best Wishes, Brendan.

Are you able to replace the batteries and continue to use the appliance?
