Timed Solar Light

[MTP55]

I saw a page for the Henlight. Very cool, but not affordable right now. I am curious to see if anyone has found an affordable solar powered light to supplement shorter days in your coop? I've been trying to find one that can be used with a timer. There are alot on Amazon but none that I have found can be used with a timer.

I don't think there are many, the few I've seen here are in DIY built systems.
You still need the properly sized collector and battery, not a cheap set up, you'd need big ones of both for the amount of sun we get here in the winter. I don't know enough to calculate the exact sizes needed, maybe someone will stop in here and have an answer...cause I'd sure like to know too, for now(5yrs) I run an extension cord.

I like the second option.

And yes that one.
