Garden Solar Lights

Hi , I have bought some for our garden a while back and they had switches so I had to turn them on to use them , so if you were travelling I suppose you could turn them off. When buying them just turn them upside down and make sure they do have a switch. cheers Judy

Hi

Some have switches ..maybe all (?) ..if no switch take the batteries out.

Cheers

If they are solar lights, would you not need to charge them instead of having then hidden away in a dark cupboard??????? (a little tongue in cheek, a little serious).

We always travel with el-cheapo $2 solar garden lights and use them around the van, on the Aframe and awning guys as warnings, and just to add a bit of twinkle at night...
All the ones we've ever bought have a switch (look underneath...
However - we never turn them off... When we are travelling, the solars are propped inside the rear window (on the sunny side) and are charged when we arrive - ready for the next twinkle show..
Way to go... Don't put them away in the boot...
We usually chuck away the generic 800mAh batteries they come with and load them with decent rechargeable batts (2500's)...

We would unscrew the top off and place them on the dash while driving to recharge - putting them on a hat or beanie stopped them sliding around. Not all styles would allow you to do this I'd imagine.

Now there's some "bright" ideas.......... B-) .........

We fitted a multiple rocket launcher type rod holder to our vehicle and put our solar lights in it so they are always fully charged when we arrive at our destination. As I'm getting a bit old and dopey I usually put a line of them from out caravan to the toilet so I don't get lost when I get up for a leak in the early hours.....
