>>>I had my sister search for your solar lights, they were sold out all over Kingman.

Sorry to hear that...
I brought a couple in the other night for a test - 2 works pretty well for a 14X24 room. Wife even grabs one when she goes out at night instead of a flashlight - some are in the back yard lighting the walkway to the back door, and I have one that I put the stake into a pipe so you can remove it easily and carry it. They stay charged and work great.
I even thought of putting one in the chicken house window and shine it on the feed and water area to lengthen the daylight hours (to increase egg laying) instead of the energy saver bulb I have on the timer.

I was thinking of the pipe, and putting them so they light the door of the house and steps/area, so I can tell if anyone is around it at night, including neighbors dogs who eat the cat food and kill the cats.
Thought if it was well lighted, it would keep folks from nosing around.
LOL, I was planning the pipe idea, as I can then have the light up and within reach, just out the door, for when needed.
They should work in the chicken house.
Do you have a high low thermometer?
It would be interesting to test the heat given out at night, would it be enough to power a small brooder for chicks and poultry?
At the least, it would help keep them from piling up.
When I had an incubator, I used my 10 gallon fish aquariums for the newly hatched babies, LOL, so OK, I liked watching them too and a 25 watt light bulb would keep them warm at night.
Works for other pets, as in Cockatiels and parrots, that you are hand feeding.
