I have been illuminating my hedgecam feeder platform with two cheap solar lamps as it means that the night-time images are a little clearer. I wanted to do the same in my mousecam box, but it is set deep inside the hedge and there is not enough light to recharge the batteries. Somehow, I needed to separate the solar panel from the little LED, so I could mount the solar panel in the light and the LED in mousecam.
I set about dissecting a cheap garden spike solar lamp and managed to figure out how to do it! You can see a detailed account, with pictures on my website HERE
