*EDIT SIGN IS 2X6 FT* Sign is about 5ft off the ground
I'm looking for better solar spot lights than what is sold at Home Depot and Lowe's. I purchased the best one at my local Lowe's which is 30 lumens, but I have a 2x6ft business sign I want to light up. It's charging right now so tomorrow I'll know how bright it will be. I'd guess if it's throw is far enough I'd need at least 3-5 of them!
It's not ideal for solar as 1/2 the day will be shade, but my calculations it should be ok. I only need them to light the sign up for around 4 hours after dark and then I don't care if they stay on or not.
Where can I get some that are MUCH brighter then the crap on the shelf for 39.99? Money is also an issue so I don't want to spend more then 100 dollars per light if possible.
I'm open to any solutions out there. I can't run low voltage lights as there is no power on the side of the driveway my sign is on. Also It's not technically a flashlight per/say, but it's a solar light designed the same as a flashlight
