Proteam Hever Solar Lights

A shed light that costs nothing to run

Advantages: Costs nothing to run
Disadvantages: You need to find a suitable place to site the solar panel

I recently bought and erected a little log cabin for my garden which I am really pleased with but I thought it would be nice to have some lighting in there for those times when I want to go in there after dark and don't want to scrabble around with a torch. I wasn't keen to take electricity out there and in these days of greener options I thought it would be nice to look for something energy efficient. What could be better I thought than something solar powered? The shed has a pitched roof with one side of it facing South so I started to search the internet for something suitable. It didn't take me long to find just what I was looking for on Amazon - a handy solar 'utility' light at a cost of £17.99. Design features The solar light arrived within a couple days and it was simple to fit high on the wall of my little log ...

Review of Proteam Utility Solar Light

A simple security light for the garden

Advantages: It costs nothing to run
Disadvantages: It isn't very bright but it is adequate

I recently bought a log cabin for the garden and decided to light the inside using a solar light so the only thing remaining was to find a way to illuminate my pathway to it. I live in a rural area with no street lights so it gets pretty dark round here on cloudy nights but I didn't want anything that would blind the neighbours or anything bright enough for two First Division football teams so I was happy to look for something solar powered that would do the job and cost nothing to run once it was installed. I quick search of Amazon brought up a selection and I settled for the Smart Solar Powered Duo Security light which has two lights that swivel and which contain a total of 10 LEDs as I thought that would give me a reasonable light and a few direction options once fitted. Design Features The light duly arrived ...

Review of Smart Solar Dual-Head Security Light

Hever so good!!

Advantages: Excellent day out and the kids love it
Disadvantages: Too far for a day trip (for me)

The tudor age has fascinated me since my school days and because of this Hever castle was always top of my list of places to visit. When I finally did last year it was better than I expected (unusual for a castle) First the logistics bit, it is really easy to find as it is signposted from the M25 and the entrance is very reasonable, from memory it was about £7 or £8 pounds per adult, but I think we paid about £23(ish) for a family ticket. The car park that we used led us straight into the gardens without having seen the house so our first stop was the rose garden where Anne Boleyn first properly met Henry VIII. This meeting is of huge historical importance, they had met briefly once before as Anne had lived at the French Court and had met Henry in France while he was having an affair with her older sister Mary. The meeting in ...
