It's the only car I've ever wanted but Jeep doesn't make hybrids. I would even settle for a hybrid.

what do you know about solar powered flood lights? I live in a dark area of town where there is no street lights. I have been wanting to get flood lights to illuminate the outside at night when we get home, so that we dont have to walk in the darkness to the house. I saw these and was wondering if they were any good, http://www.tvmarketplace.net/(hneerwf0gt3s5xq1gy1sqvym)/products/product.aspx?id=553&OVRAW=pen%20howl%20flood%20lights&OVKEY=flood%20light&OVMTC=advanced#Included The only reason i am going for solar powered is because we are renting and there is no connection outside for a flood light where it is needed. The only out door lights we have is in the backyard, (on the rightside of the house), and the porch, (in the front). Neither illuminate an area where someone could easliy hide in the shadows.

Where can I get a solar powered shed light that turns on automatically when the shed door is opened? This is for a regular sized garden shed, maybe 2m x 3m. I'd like to put a small solar panel on the roof to catch the sunlight. This should charge the batteries in a lighting unit. The batteries do not need to power the light for a long time (maybe 30 minutes). I would like the light to come on automatically when I open the door and go off when I close it again. A mechanical switch fitted to the door would be fine (like in a fridge). A rough price guide would also be useful. Many thanks in advance...
