ILoveCyrus 1,126 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 These are a dime a dozen in US. Can't seem to find them here. Been to malls and Savers Depot, etc. Wonder if Belmont or Atlantic hardware has them. Bet they're expensive here....LoL Any leads.....? Link to post Share on other sites
Lee 17,711 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 I do not know if they are the ones you are looking for or if they even still have them but I saw some a few months ago upstairs in SM department store Cebu City, top floor in the Aces Hardware section. Also if I remember correctly they may have had some downstairs basement Hardware section of Ayala. Link to post Share on other sites
SomeRandomGuy 6,596 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 At the 88 peso store i found some. Not very bright but they do work. Its more about the ambience for me. Just saw a solar powered bug zapper at the hardware store yesterday, and there were some online at lazada a while ago. Sent from my ass to your eyes Link to post Share on other sites
smokey 21,911 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 still over rated i picked up a few in usa and installed them and they are much brighter but last very short time ... if you leave them on which was my reason to buy and install they last maybe 2 hours so as a night light system they suck...

ILoveCyrus 1,126 Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 I have 2 on my gate posts. Bought from Home Depot in US. These have dusk/dawn sensors and work fantastic. Wish I had bought more. Its not popular here yet.. I bet they will catch up soon Link to post Share on other sites
thebob 18,260 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) You can soup them up. The older ones had AAA batteries in them and regular LED's. The newer ones have only button cells and regular LED's. The circuit is pretty robust and the housing has enough room for another battery. If your garden light has a button cell just solder in a rechargeable ni-cad and you will get better run time. The high brightness LED's use less current than the older ones for more brightness so that is worth doing as well. Daiso ( The 88 Peso store) is only 108 Yen in Japan. So they are almost twice as much in Cebu. http://www.bigclive.com/solar.htm You can also try "cracking the ice" on the LED. http://www.bigclive.com/ice.htm Edited July 21, 2014 by thebob Link to post Share on other sites

Headshot 29,349 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Outdoor Garden Solar 3-LED Spotlight Lamp.. 600p http://www.olx.ph/index.php/view+classifieds/id/42978953/ Thanks Carlo. I know where they are. They're just above the Rose Pharmacy next to the McDonalds in North Mandaue. I will have to give them a try. I have good lighting in my yard for when we are doing something out there, but I would like some accent spots that don't use regular power for highlights and security. I had solar-powered yard lights back in the US, and they lasted for years. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
