Coop lighting, just to check one last time

[Mom2Cool]

hmmm I'd been hoping to use one of those solar lights for sheds in my chicken coop. Right now I've got one of those battery operated lightbulb things & I just use rechargable batteries. It actually lights up the coop very nice at night & I think the night time fading thing is what drives them into their coop & then I come out & turn on the light. I hadn't throught of the solar light having a timer, but I'd been hoping to use the solar light to get around the wiring for electric... I hadn't thought of a timer I wonder if I can find something that'll come with a timer. My question is if it's a solar light & is bright is that enough of a light to make a difference? I mean it doesn't have to give off heat right? I imagine a small heater going in in the winter & of course that'll be electric & I figured that would be enough of a deal with electric to coop. Right now I've got a baby cam in there along with a radio & so I'm thin king maybe I should just be putting a regular old light in there with a time cause I've got the extention cord thing going with the coop anyway. I was just hoping maybe 1 of those things would be easier/no wiring LOL anyone ever use one before & what did you all think of the set up? I bought this GREAT coop made by the Amish & it's really great but the only thing missing is some wiring for electric....
