I'd rather not. Thank you. B-)


Don't knock it till you've tried it big boy ;-)

But the
key is also "on a full charge" it's not likely to get a full charge
during the short grey days of winter.


True, but as a full 'May' charge seems to lasts at least 24hrs, I'd have
hoped that the majority of winter days might give enough power to say
last from 5 till 11pm or thereabouts.
We'll just have to wait and see!

And while I'd agree that you can't use them to 'light' an area like a
bulb, these ones with a whiteish light do give off more than just marker
illumination (as do some of the yellowish ones) and I can certainly see
things within a meter or two.
