solar power

[Dave_5040173]

I would be anxious to hear from someone with ideas about solar powered lighting. I want to light the underside of my gazebo and what better way than with solar power (cheap), if this is possible. I would prefer if I could light a string of low watt bulbs from this source. I've seen those garden lights and its this that has given me the idea, but I dont think they would be enough. Camping supplies only stare at me in wonder. Help if you can, please.

David, You will need a battery too - the solar panel will charge the battery buring the day, the battery will light the lights after dark. Choose a suitable size panel and battery, Caravan/camping shops sell fluourescent lights to clip onto tent poles, these will clip onto your gazebo.
