I cannot comment on the Aldi lights, but I bought some Bunnings stainless steek garden lights for $39 with in-build solar panels and rechargeable batteries. It was impossible to walk past such a bargain. I was delighted to find that the lights performed as well as expected. Dim, ran only for a few hours after sunset and failed within months. Along these lines, I was looking at an $89 brush cutter from Bunnings with a 29cc 2 stroke motor. In the end, I bought a much more expensive 50cc motor for $145 designed to power push bikes. I will be arranging a group of these radially around a ring gear connected to the propellor to provide enough power for a sustainer, possibly even SLG performance. With enough motors, if one or two fail, who cares? I estimate the cost of the components to be well under $1,000 with jet-like take off and fuel economy.
