HF has a couple options
The shed
light:http://www.harborfreight.com/household/lighting/solar-shed-light-62549.html
says it has 4 SMD LEDs, so surface mount but it doesn't say how bright. We
could be generous and say 100 lumens so 400 lumens. It does list 600mah of
electricity but it says li-ion batteries which suggests some small obscure
size. The reviews are poor...
The solar security
lighthttp://www.harborfreight.com/60-led-solar-security-light-69643.html60 LEDs
6v, NiCad, 900mah, much better reviews and should put out much more light but
I'm dubious that the batteries will power it for long. If they're 35ma like
mine thats 2100ma which way over matches the batteries. Oh and its MORE
EXPENSIVE than the 80 LED unit on Amazon.
Sadly the Amazon unit also has 900mah batteries but it admits that they're AAs.
I'd order a pack of 2500mah batteries when I ordered the unit if I wanted the
light to be on any significant amount of time. I'd also order the 5w panel I
suggested earlier, the 1w panel is going to need pretty much a full day of full
sun to charge those batteries...

Very few, but our property abuts a very dense forest who's tree canopy extends
over our property. As a result, even on a moonlit night it's still very dark
out back.
I'm only concerned with having some light around the screen door that opens
from the lanai into the back yard.
I considered one of the HF lights, but they didn't look very substantial and
had poor reviews.
