    Default Outdoor solar lights

    I have a client that wants solar lights on her fence that will stay on at night. Guess she wants to spook some critters since she has 12 puppies. Any recommendations? It?s about 100 feet of wooden fence.

    Home Depot and Lowes and Amazon have a selection of solar lights that go on fence posts, Gates, etc.
    All I have in this world is my balls and my word and I don't break em for no one.

    Yeah I looked through quite a few on amazon. Seeing if anyone has personal recommendations.

    you can buy them from a few different vendors. Depending on what price point the client wants to stay at.
    Here's what we have and outside of a cloudy day, where they don't hit a full recharge.
    These units stay on all night, have great illumination and some of the better ones we've dealt with. If i remember later on, i'll snap a pic of one or two.

    No flash pic of 3 of them . Garage is approx 70' from front door. Bunkhouse 30' As for deterring critters at night, only a good secure perimeter does that, occasionally.
    Keeping her pups safe, build a kennel with 6' plus walls and secure roof.
    The lights do a great job of illuminating the skunks, feral cats and rare coyote wandering through the property.




    6:10 this a.m. crappy pic through the rain. 11 hrs since they went on.

    ^^^This. We have a mix of solar and electric motion detection lights, even the very bright "spot" lights don't do much to deter critters and the rabbits moving around turn them on all times of the day and night.

    Well I guess she?s also concerned that she can see her pups at night. She?s kinda immobile. Just helping her out.

    Most of the ones I've seen or had don't make it through the night.

    I wish technology solved people issues. It seems to just reveal them.
