Light for chicken ark when I have no electricity?

[gophert]

This is probably a nutty idea, but I thought I'd ask. I have a Catwaba-style chicken ark (http://catawbacoops.com/). I cannot run power to it. Has anyone thought of a way to put a light (for winter eggs) into one of these? LED light on a timer???

why not? you can get solar power lights too

If you do a search, you should find some threads where people posted about having solar panels. I've seen them mentioned multiple times.

We have electricity to our coop...but I had my husband install clear roof panels (sky lights) on our coop so during the winter...they will get sunlight naturally too

Thanks--I do see there are some posts on solar lights, but was wondering a) if people also have a solar timer for them (does that exist?) and b) if anyone has used one in an ark...the roost area is pretty small.

We have a solar light on the outside of our coop, and I love it.
