Solar lights are great applications for a remote application, like your back yard. You can make your own more powerful solar lights using LEDs. You can get the gear you need to build the solar lighting kit at FutureElectronics.

Steps

Step #1:

Make your wiring connections from the solar lighting system. They don’t come with the right connection to your charge controller. First strip the wires about half an inch.

I know this is old, but the wiring diagram is dangerously wrong.
The LED driver should be hooked up to the Charge Controller, NOT the battery.
The currently config could damage the battery…. and depending on the battery, it could suffer from overload or under voltage
