Contact me if you are having trouble -- preferably by phone (206-525-1577 between 9am & 9pm Pacific time) and I may be come up with other suggestions.
Please let me know if you spot something that I should add to the list.

Many local stores have solar lights on special at the end of summer that can be adapted for this (Target, Fred Meyer, Home Depot, Lowes, Ace, True Value, Walmart; note that I have no connection to any of the retailers listed here). Then the light strings vanish until November, are gone again after the Holidays, and reappear in late March.

My current favorite is

because of the silver wires and glass solar panel (plastic panels eventually cloud up). Note that their quality is spotty. I bought 4. Two worked well for 3 years and then only needed their batteries changed. 2 didn't work out of the box: one was simply a bad solder joint so was fixable. The 4th never worked.
