GREAT IDEA, made into "made in china junk" i paid 50.00 for this light it should have been 10.00 the solar panel if lifted all the way grabs the power switch and when lowered " SNAP" the frame pops over the switch breaking the glue the holds the panel . i can no longer lift the panel and must charge it face down . the lights only shine out or up , you cant spin the light around to bounce it off a table like a normal light , its in your eyes or lighting up the sky above me , this does me no good at all bottom line , just don't waste your money , buy something else UPDATE :Well i just got another one of these for free because it needs a battery ....so i wanted to get one ...YOU CAN'T forget it NOWHERE ! i even called WAGAN NO REPLACEMENT BATTERY'S anywhere in the USA ..... so it will work on D cells but no more rechargeable function ......WAGEN IS JUST A RESELLER OF DISPOSABLE GARBAGE !
