It all started with a couple of solar tiki torches more than a year ago which I really liked. Those proved to be totally reliable - running on a two NiMh batteries and flickering way into morning hours - I love that yellow flickering light. After a rare impulsive buy I ended up with a crystal ball led light which changes color. A good conversation piece for a late night symposium.
Then I added Crystal Ball String Lights. Though hard to setup these are cute. Surprisingly they run on a single NiMh battery. Not bright but I do not mind.
Recently I added spotlights. A separate solar panel houses 3 NiMh batteries. What I like least about these spotlights are blue light color and short wires - maybe I should use CTO gel?.
My experience with small solar toys powered by NiMh batteries was so positive I decided to get a battery-backed solar pump for my future water feature. The fountain is very compact but sufficiently tall and is totally self-contained. We shall see!
