Has anybody ever bought some really good solar lights?

Our garden is finally shaping up, I have a fence and a an almost border on one side - which I love looking out at, but after the sun goes down it's just a pitch black hole.

I'm tempted by solar lights but has anybody ver bought any that actually work?

I bought some on ebay. 4 sets, only 1 still working. Would also love some reliable ones.

If you want good quality ones in glass and stainless steel that are really sturdy they have some on //www.qvcuk.com

They have some globe mosaic ones, 4 for 20 quid. Not cheap but that's because they're heavy, sturdy, and can be left out all year.

I got 2 sets of solar lights from qvc last year. The crackle glode ones and the butterfly ones. Both sets were lovely last year but i left them out over winter and both sets are now dead as a dodo.
