Those are nightstand, believe or not, they stand up flat with the bed as a place to hold your Victorian novel and after dinner capuccino

I Picked up a few of these at Walmart. 97¢ Each. Works awesome when camping primitive to place around when camp is set up.

I love solar, LED, and a cheap price. I hope they last.
My mother-in-law gave us a LED light in the shape of a flower with a solar charger. I fully expected it to die within two weeks. A year later and it is still working great.

Going to give this a try this weekend, see how quickly it goes up. I like the canopy tent I have but can be too hot sometimes. I see they have a new design where the whole top is mesh, thats the ticket for next go around.

I was thinking the same thing until I saw the price.

How do they rate the '400 watts' I wonder? Because that's cheaper than solar. (Watt for watt) And obviously it generates at night as well.

It's probably 400w at Cat 2 Hurricane wind speeds and more like 50W under normal conditions.

 

[jamesurq]

Still 50 watts times 24 hours for the cost of 200 watts solar times maybe 4 hours (and less than that for another 6-8 hours maybe). Plus think of all the dead birds you can eat.

I would expect a 20-30% capacity factor, so 80-120 watt-hours when averaged over a month or so of continuous use. Thats just based on what real ones that support baseload utility average. Solar is about the same. Really depends on geography and weather.
