After reading the whole article, I want to highlight three points. One: There is no fire danger. Two: Build a simple stand or use a vase to hold the light so you can use both hands. Three: Replace the batteries with higher grade rechargeable battery (the cheap nonchargeable battery that come in most of these solar lights are low grade and can only handle 200-300 recharges) Read this tip.

You know those solar powered lights that you can buy to place along your walkway? They usually are sold in such a design that they can easily be staked into the ground. Basically they are made with a small solar panel, a rechargeable battery (usually a really low end) and come in varying home décor styles. They charge up during the day while there is sun, and then they emit a modest amount of light for 6 to 10 hours at night depending on the strength of the rechargeable battery provided and how much sunlight was generating during the day. Most varieties also come with a small on/off switch. Their prices range from $4 to $20 each. From a preparedness mindset having these for their intended use is a boon to a person’s home security, even in more trying social circumstances, but these can also easily be adapted for use in the home.
Another plus, the Fall and Winter seasons usually bring with them deep discounts on such items. So do a little internet searching for some great deals. Personally, thanks to some strategies of the Self-Reliance Revolution, I don’t believe I’ll pay a dime out-of-pocket for either the lamps or the rechargeable batteries.
Lastly, there may be some merit in you being able to use all of those smaller solar panels to accomplish some other critical uses in the future—of which I haven’t thought of yet; but I’m sure I will come up with an idea or two sometime in the middle of the night. And on that note, I’m going to sign off now before I approach a Martha Stewart type of personality and beam too brightly about this idea—yes, of course the pun was intended. I do hope that you find this helpful in your preparedness efforts though.
