Also had a dual pendant version in Stafford. Nearly bought one, but put off by the 4w solar panel. Just not sure it's enough.

I also bought both from Folkestone store. Yet to try but very good prices.

The solar panel for this one is 5v 1W and drives a single 1000mAh 18560 rechargeable lithium 3.7v battery.
The LifeLight Home has a 5v 4W panel driving two 18650 rechargeable lithium batteries rated 4400 mAh at 3.7v.
A good buy and with standard 2.5mm jack/plugs so can be charged from a cheap adaptor if no sun. The lights all have 3 settings, but the push switch needs a firm pressing.
I will buy another Home version for £7.99 tomorrow if they have any left.
Very hot from me.

HI , does this come pre charged, I bought one and had it charging with no signs of life on the window sill, and nothing happens, I have tested the solar panel and thats fine but no voltage reading from the base.

Mine came with very low battery. When the panel was put in the sun the three blue leds started to flash and after 2 hours I tried the light button. At this time the first led was solid and the second and third ones flashing. The button needed a firm press, but I was able to toggle the different light intensity. It did need sunshine to get it charging, stopped when it became a bit cloudy.
You could shine a very bright light on to the panel to check it is charging.

we bought two of the Lifelight home sets.
So far we have had 1 set that works and 3 sets were dead / not charging.
the set that works says it is charging even when the solar panel is not plugged in.
I took the second set back and swapped it because it was not charging.
we have had two more sets and both of these didn't charge.
the manager at home bargains said it must be something I was doing wrong...
Can I suggest that if you have bought any of these lights you check them asap.
3 dead and 1 set that is a bit iffy out of 4 sets is not a very good rate of success.

Bought both the single and double Lifelight set - the single one seems to be ok, charged up through the day and seems to do what I bought it for - gives off enough illumintation to see the portaloo in the awning.
The double set doesn't work - no blue leds illuminated at all - so thats going back tomorrow.
