We can’t stand those lame stick-in-the-ground solar light thingies. If you really need to light a yard/walkway/patio, you’ve got to build your own! Solar lights are great applications for a remote application, like your back yard. But the ones you buy in stores are so dim they won’t safely light a walkway. You can make your own more powerful solar lights using LEDs.

thanks for this! I’m thinking of putting up some in our country home, but might use incandescent bulbs. There are times when I prefer the yellow, nostalgic cast rather than the austere white of LEDs.
