I’m struggling to find any communities on Lemmy, maybe someone can point me in the right direction?
It’s a really dumb and minor question but it’s driving me nuts trying to find a decent solution.
I’ve got some of those metal outdoor lanterns that have a small round solar panel on the top and an LED. They work great in the summer but there just isn’t enough charge in the winter for them to get fully charged… the problem is, EVERY single one I’ve found ONLY charges when it’s turned ON.
There seems to be 1000s of replacements on Amazon but I’ve not found a single one that charges while off…
I’d really like some that I can keep off but will charge anyway so I can turn them on when I’m actually using them in Winter.
Dumb question but maybe someone can point me to a Lemmy community that can help!

I’ve never seen any that aren’t complete crap. If you buy them you should plan on replacing in two years as they decline in performance quickly. If they aren’t too far from the house would bite the bullet and get some good low voltage lights you can run via Smart home and don’t look back.
