Stirling HDB Terrace - #177 Solar SPIKE lights from IKEA

recently we have purchased some solar powered spike lights from IKEA. It's still undergoing trials since we aren't really sure how long the rechargeable battery will last. Last week when it was quite rainy, the rechargeable battery didn't get fully recharged i suppose... as when the sky starts to darken, the spike lights start to 'on' by themselves, they started to blink like xmas lights!!!!

it was so funny!!! like Christmas was already here.
So we decided to come back the next day to check out whether it was spoilt or it was just under-charged.
The next evening we were back to check on the lights, and it was still blinking!!!! OMG. we were thinking shucks...what a waste, most probably we'll have to return it back to IKEA. So we switched it off. Btw there's a manual ON and OFF button too.

Then...after a few days, it got really sunny, that evening, i went down with my parents and ON the spike lights and voila! it was shining STILL and BRIGHT.

WOOHOO!

here are some of the photos
