Sheds aren’t the most fun place to be since they’re always dark and dank, and you never quite know when the boogeyman might just jump out at you. With the Solar Shed Lights, that is no longer a worry for you.

Using three rechargeable batteries that harness the power of the sun, the Solar Shed Light provides 2-3 hours of super bright LED light – ample time for you to put the garden tools away, take out the rubbish or even just relax in the garden and enjoy the evening. The Solar Shed Light is easy to install and comes with a solar panel and connecting shed light that are simple to secure to your shed using the supplied brackets. Once installed, allow three days for the Solar Shed Light to fully charge and you’re done. With no disposable batteries to replace or electricity to connect, you can enjoy complete convenience throughout the year!
It will take around 8 hours to fully charge the Ni-MH batteries within. The Solar Shed Light can be yours for £19.95.

The Solar Mini Clip Fan steals your dignity

This is one of those gadgets you can only get away with if you’re either married, very old or completely shameless. It is a solar fan which attaches to the bill of your hat to keep you cool while out antiquing or whatever it is people do that wear strange hats. This ranks up there with the umbrella hats, both of them are just not right. I realize when it is extremely hot and you’re stuck outdoors you have to do anything you can just to keep cool.
