Solar Powered Spotlight €12.99 from 3rd July @ Lidl

irishproduce · 2014-07-01 16:20:43

Part of the garden range. http://www.lidl.ie/cps/rde/SID-B9F355D1-9DA28E98/www_lidl_ie/hs.xsl/Offers.htm?id=193 Anyone ever bought one of these? There is a PIR function on it so presumably, it would sit there all throughout the day and only need/ use power when called upon. Would be handy for down the back near the shed no?

I have the €39 version of this and it's very good. There were a few really dark cloudy days in winter where it would only give a minute or so of light, but otherwise it's good. I imagine the light and battery won't be anywhere near as good on this one but I'm going to get one anyway.

You could do your own waterproofing, using sealant or electrical tape.

Talk on hotukdeals suggests that they won't be very bright though (in case you hadn't guessed).
