Solar lights have a questionable reputation: they break easily, often don't work, and aren't bright enough to be useful. However, there are a handful of lights out that last for years and emit bright, practical light.
Brightech is one of the few companies to make reliable solar lights. While it lists its lights as only lasting 2.5 years, many reviewers have reported that they last for almost a decade. In fact, these lights are something of an industry standard - once you know what they look like, you'll start spotting them everywhere.
