Make this lamp into a solar lamp
+11
Have a problem. How could this lamp be made into a solar lamp for my yard. The globes are plastic and I do not want to cut into the globes. Is there a way to have an exterior solar power and single lights inside the globes. Thanks.

Try buying a few outdoor solar lights that will be able to fit in the top part of each globe. You will need to be able to cut a circled diameter in each globe at the top. Insert the solar part of the outdoor solar fixtures inside. This is just a thought. The solar fixtures can be found at Dollar Tree or Ross most times. The solar lights usually come with a rechargeable battery. I hope this helps!

I have placed $1 solar lights inside glass globes, which allow the sun to charge them during the day and it has worked out well. If you replaced the white globes with something clear or partially clear, this could work for you too :)

you can buy LED bulbs with solar elements, extend wires and reach them through the lamp post. Solar elements you can easily mountain on a sunny wall for solar panels: https://www.aliexpress.com/w/wholesale-solar-...

There are pretty round solar lights, remove the globes and replace with the solar lights. Then you can change back if you want. Another choice is to paint the bulbs with glow in the dark paint. Takes a lot of paint, but the result is pretty amazing.

can you remove the globe without cutting it? should beable to if you have light bulbs in it ,you would have to change out if one bulb went ot, if you can then remove the globe and buy you some solar lights that you stick in the ground and put them in them ( by first removing the wire unless they are gas
