THE ALBANY

I would had probably used either a higher output CREE bulb or more than just one but even so 125 Lumens from such a tiny LED that uses solar power is not bad at all.

Thanks to this mounting bolt you can remove the u-bracket (wall mounting) that comes pre-installed on the spotlight and replace it with the metal stake/spike.

The metal stake can be used to place the spotlight in your garden.

Unlike the spotlight enclosure the 2W solar panel is made almost entirely out of plastic.

Solar panel quality may not be the best I’ve ever seen but i didn't expect it to be either (nor is it needed for a tiny solar light).

The rechargeable battery pack is placed right beneath the solar panel and an on/off button is placed on the other side.

There are three AA 2000mAh batteries placed inside (total of roughly 6000mAh) which you can replace whenever they stop working (i expect it will be at least 2 years before that happens).

The Solar Centre actually sent us two Albany premium solar spotlights to have a better idea of what they can do.
