Does anyone know where to find solar powered motion lights, I looked at home depot and lowes online and either they didn't have them or I over looked them.

I am on my second one from lowes, and it is now acting up. I will not buy the one from lowes again. Botht the lights I have had after a few months started flickering, and don't stay on even though there is a hog under them moving around.

They have them at Fry's electronics. You will find them near the batteries. About $30.

i just bought the ones that come on automatically at dusk. i figured the light popping on when they came in would scare the hogs off.
-------------------- I'm thankful for the things i have and all the things i don't

It doesn't really bother them, I have tons of pics of hogs that sit there while the light goes on and off.

I have the one from lowes, and it is my second one. I am not happy with it at all. The light flickers sometimes, and it is impossible to get a shot on something when it is flickering. It also doesn't stay on the whole time something is there. The one I have looks just like this one.

Ok...I remembered seeing your pics before, just couldn't remember where you said you got the light.
BTW...going to Joey's place in a couple of weeks. Be Joey, LM1 (his BIL) and I understand Louietiger, as well (who I've not met). It should be pretty ignorant!!! LOL

Just like you do, except I don't add the kool aid. Just make sure it gets lots of sunlight. Most of the time I don't even add the beer.
