Floor Lamp Solar Light Feature for Your Patio

I love repurposing old lamps, vintage floor lamps etc into great patio lights by adding some new and improved solar lights.
With a little work and TLC it's so easy to turn an old lamp (this one was free from a friend) into a bright new solar light for your porch or patio.
Any lamp will work. I'm always looking for cheap lamps while I'm thrifting. The uglier the lamp, the better price! You have to be a serious repurposer with a vision to even think about paying five bucks for this old thing.
Here is the after! The new and improved solar lights will now charge even in the shade, which make these the perfect addition to your porch or patio. They aren't exposed to the elements of the weather, but still give you great lighting after the sun goes down.

I'm on the hunt for yard sales with old redeemable lamps. Fantastic idea.

Have a question about this project?
Since there are multiple lights, does the light hamper any of the other solar lights from coming on?
