Solar Yard Light for egg production

[jktrahan]

Has anyone tried using a solar yard light in the side of there hen house to increase egg production? I have a chicken tractor\\ark with a small hen house 2'x3' and I am thinking of cutting a small hole in the top of the roof and slipping in one of those solar yard lights, but I don't know if they put out enough light. In winter with the days being shorter they should only last a few hours and in summer i can just remove the battery until next winter.

I have a solar light in my coop that's on all the time. Not enough light to really increase production, but it sure makes it easier to do a nightly head count

I have solar lights around the perimeter of the coop. But they dont put out a significant amount of light.
