Ok, I'll admit it. I'm in a bind. Mother's Day is just a few days away and the thought crossed my mind that my Mother might like a whole slew of solar powered garden lights to replace the entire batch of the modded ones she now has. The modded lights output about 8 lumens each at current led/drive levels but has anyone come across brighter ones recently?

My Mother's Day gift was going to be additional pieces to her patio furniture setup, but that has been vetoed.

Now I'm up the creek without a paddle.

HELP!

Can anyone suggest some brands that may carry new higher brightness solar lights, preferablely in stainless steel that I should look for?
 
I have exactly the same need. An answer to this question will please two of us...

I've purchased some Nichia GS fautons from DX and have been replacing the LEDs in my Malibu solar lights. The lights are much whiter and somewhat brighter than the LEDs that were replaced. For the cost, not a bad mod, but if you are at 8 lumens already, I don't know if this would buy you much.
