Solar Shed Lights
When you are required to go to the shed to retrieve an item after dark, look at solar shed lights as a solution. The Coleman 10 LED model will give you enough light to get your item without using your sense of feel. The remote solar panel will give you the ability to mount it in a place that will get sun and let you have light inside your shed.
Lets look at some of the details of this model. For other Solar Lighting needs look at my other suggestions here.

What you get in the box
You will get a fixture with 10 LED bulbs. It has a switch for low or high and a string for off/on. Three Rechargeable batteries will power your light when turned on for about four hours after full charge.
It will mount with a screw on each end. It will connect to the solar panel with a 16 foot cord. The solar panel can be adjusted after mounting for the best angle to the sunshine. The assembly of this unit will be mounting the solar panel (it does come with a mounting bracket or you can mount on a flat surface).
On the low setting (5 LED's) you will get 4 hours of light from a full charge, on the high setting (10 LED's) you will get 2 hours of light from a full charge. If you fail to turn off when leaving, you will not have light the next time.
My take on this fixture
I think this fixture would be a great addition to anyone who has to go outside to the shed after dark to get something that would be needed now. If your shed is dark during the day, the 16 foot cord could get you to some sunshine to give to light during the day also.
This solar powered light fixture will work great for getting in and out of a shed, don't expect enough light to work or find something in the back corner.
Having one that you can take backpacking or camping in a remote area will give you some light that you can use in a tent without a flashlight.
One customer stated that they use theirs in an outhouse by the lake. May not be bright enough to read a magazine, you will be able to find the proper place to sit though.
Pros
Can use in remote locations that do not have an electric source, camping, shed or outhouse (some people still have these don't they)
Has multiple mounting options
Solar panel has 16 feet of connecting cord
Cons
Not bright enough to illuminate shed for working
Have to replace all three rechargeable batteries at one time
Must have a source of direct sunlight for the solar panel

Conclusion
When was the last time you had to go to the shed after dark to find a snow shovel, lawn chair or other item and just could not see to find it. If you had a solar shed light you would be able to find stuff without feeling every item in the shed or waiting for a full moon. The Coleman 10 LED light fixture will solve these problems.

thanks John for your great information, you seem like an experienced pro on this topic and your review is very informative. this light seems like a great solution for my rare treks out to my backyard storage since it seems like it would be a bother to change these batteries every 2-4 hours of regular use.
Thanks for your information!
Rachel,
This is one of the best solutions to an area that does not have an electric source and gets some sunshine during the day. You will have to replace the rechargeable batteries ever 2-3 years, that will be the only cost after purchase.
