The solar stake light with the wood grained finish is environmentally friendly as well as sleek and stylish. The solar panel converts sunlight into energy and charges the AA Ni-MH rechargeable battery during the day. When the battery is fully charged the light will remain lit for up to 8-12 hours. The 17'' high solar light includes stake mount hardware and automatically turns on and off at dawn and dusk. The solar stake light with the wood grained finish is an exceptional way to add a little bit of light without the hassle and mess of wires.
