    Wait.


    "(5 for $15, 5 for $20)"


    So really, some idiot is going to choose to pay $5 more for the same number of lights?

    I've yet to see a solar path or garden light that's actually bright enough to make a difference. These are no better.

    @BPA-Free_GitEmSteveDave: They are meant as decoration, feature lighting. In use as pathlights, the best they can do for paths is path markers, which is still useful to keep you from stumbling off the path

    @Diet-Orange-Soda: They mostly are bug feeders, and will dig for grubs and grub like insects. Can't hurt. You can also try shooting them, but I have been told you must get a head shot, or else you chance your yard smelling for a while. In the off chance someone gets skunked, please remember that Tomato juice does nothing(much like the goggles), so try a mixtures of dish soap, baking soda, and hydrogen peroxide. You can find the exact formula if you google it.

    These remind me of the light sticks they used in Oceans 11. I think the round ones would look awesome attatched to trees.

    Those make handy glowsticks for raves if they weren't wired to a power supply.


    Then again anything can happen at a rave..

    @Mad as a Hatter: Click through the link. No external wiring means no wiring to "the grid". Do you see a solar panel on the lights? If there is no panel, how do they get charged?

    But if you don't believe me(I wonder what those pesky wire looking things are....):


    @KronikFpLiOnYkD: You reminded of the "Bundy Shoe Light" from Married W/ Children,

    The shape of your choosing? Can you program them to orient themselves in a certain direction? Otherwise there really is no shape besides it's actual shape.
