looking for a solar-powered (or solar charged) light with a timer to use in the chicken coop

We are looking for a solar-powered (or solar charged) light with a timer to use in the chicken coop to enhance laying in the winter months, but don't have $300+ to spend. Has anyone found something cheaper that's not lighted all night like simple solar yard lights? We are just trying to reach the recommended 14 hours a day, hence the request for a timer. Thanks!

I use a 3 light spotlight with separate solar panel in a coop that was for bantams and now is used for guineas. It is dusk to dawn operation, however it works because in the winter it only stays on 4-6 hours max, because of less sun to charge it. It cost $30 at Lowes. While not ideal, I never found anything better.
