Solar Powered Night Lights

Step 3 Remove LEDs

Remove LEDs from the lights and attach to a twisted pair of wires long enough to go down the vent into your house. I used a small connector attached to a short pair of wires coming from the light. Then connect to your longer pair. Doing so will make disconnection for servicing easy. You can use a pair of wirenuts instead of the connector.

First solar yard light I have seen with 2 batteries.

The newer ones have a single cell powering a Joule Thief type of circuit. One advantage with single cells is no cell reversal during over discharge. A "C" cell would give more storage capacity without the cell deep discharging every night. Meaning longer life.

The solar lights we have that are similar in look to those ones are two-battery setups...
