I wanted to find a motion led light that would provide more then enough light for moving around the house after dark but was not able to find one that did not cost and arm and a leg. So, I decided to build my own using off the shelf parts.

Nigel Chivers decided to get himself a solar powered radio. In looking at the local retail outlet he was put off by both the price of the cheap units as well as the fact that they had the wind up crank. He did not feel like winding a handle all day long just to listen to the radio. He did however need something that would work out in the middle of nowhere, and work all day long.

Here is what he came up with. An old radio that he made solar powered by using parts from a junk garden lamp. Cheap, and best of all no cranking at all! Yea.
