If you're looking for some light being thrown off get the hardwired ones
installed.

The solar rechargeable are decorations or path markers. They work for
that purpose.

I'm thinking of adding a few lights to my backyard garden - the little ones
that stick into the soil and stand a foot or so above the ground. I'm
interested in the solar powered version (laziness factor) - are any of these
lights any good? Are they dependable? How much light do they throw in
comparison to their hard-wired bretheren? Any brands better than others?

Thanks in advance.
