Hello again

I'm thinking of buying some solar powered garden lights. Argos has a set
of
three for around £30 and I am wondering if anyone knows if they work OK.

In general, if they use a light bulb, you will probably only get a dim light
and that for a fairly limited period. In my late mother's garden, where
there was street light scatter, you had to look at the light to see if it
was on. In a country garden on an overcast moonless night, the light might
have been useful. The solar powered LED path markers ought to work better,
but only expect them to mark the edges of the path, rather than light the
path itself.
