I like the idea of using solar yard lights as a component in my home based E-kit ... but with a switchable light ...so I could turn it off if desired.
Though it would be nice if they were robust enough to get bumped around a bit and definitley long lasting enough for the whole night ....so I could use them for outside security etc. ONce the big quale hits here in Cali ... power might be out more than one night.
Great link to the dealextreme website for that pocket solar charger ... that might prove real handy to have around !
Thanks for feeding my gadget habit !
And of course, it looks like it might be better to fab up my own for a more portable and compact setup for for mobile bugging out....or just camping out in general.
