Couple more solar rock lights: First one, no battery charge, another old solar cell with corroded through connections. Fitted upgrade cell and sealed tight with silicon rubber.

Second one was suddenly not lasting very long and rather dull despite having had my upgrade. One of the (4) LEDs had failed and was pulling the whole thing down. Fitted a new LED and sealed the reflector back in place with more rubber.

Only two left now with the old solar cells. These only put out about 40ma whereas the new cells can deliver 150ma in strong sunlight.
