"Captain, we need more (solar) POWER!"
I've been wanting to increase the overall effectiveness of the garden solar lighting, and having consulted with my technician (Adam), I've invested in a new solar panel, 12v rechargeable battery, LEDs and various other accessories to beef things up a bit. The old lighting was OK, I suppose, but it wasn't practical as it didn't provide enough light.
This post relates to the lighting only. I'm also hoping to run a water pump/fountain from the same set-up too.

It all worked out brilliantly and the new lights are awesome! They add so much more light, but aren't too obtrusive. Cheers Adam.
Next to come...the water pump.
