Environmental stress testing of solar garden lights; output measurement, battery endurance, and beam analysis.
About
I lead our shade, rain, and winter tests and validate manufacturer claims with weeklong logs. Expect honest charts, beam photos, and clear pass/fail criteria. I care less about showroom sparkle and more about what still turns on after three gray days.
Background
During a January sleet storm, I left five solar path lights in a shaded corner to see which would wake after three sunless days. Only two blinked alive. That weekend became my ritual: log temperatures, measure lux, photograph beam spill, and keep whatever survives shade, rain, and real winter.
Perspective
I favor lights that maintain usable output after multiple sunless days and cold snaps.
