Default Solar Lighting

Hombase are doing "Buy one get one free!" solar lights (£9.99 for two).

Are they any good and is solar lighting powerful enough to see by?

On a completely moonless and starless night you might "see" by them but
otherwise all they do is a dim glow. Handy if you had enough to mark path
edges and so on but not to illuminate anything really. Also in winter they
barely charge enough to stay on for more than about 30 minutes or so.
