What are you good folks using and what do you rate?
For various reasons I can't run a power supply to my bike shed at the minute, so need something to see by so I don't trip over stuff (not necessarily loads of light for working).
Cheers!
Bump!

I'm using a Solar mate 0.5

Enough light to find things when it's dark, but not really enough to work by.
There are similar ones on ebay for £15-20.

Not using this but found it while googling the other week
Looking at something like [url= http://www.maplin.co.uk/solarmate-i-mains-free-lighting-kit-225014 ]this[/url] when I get my new shed. Charges up a car or leisure battery so should last a while.
I dont have the best eyesight and found the ones that charge a little light not quite bright enough so i would avoid - you could find things but not really do much in that light
all the pies kit looks intereting but costly and you need a leisure battery
I've been using a similar kit to the Maplins one for the last 18 months or so. I've got an 18w panel charging a car battery through a charge controller. I've got two small strip lights and a 12v CFL hooked up to it. The CFL is 18w (I think) and provides enough light to work in the shed at night.
I haven't flattened the battery yet, even during the winter when working out in the shed for a 2/3 hours on consecutive evenings.
I used that site that allthepies links to for guidance.
