I just bought a house and there are about 20-30 small lights, the little lamp type with hoods on top, lining the driveway and patio. Problem is, I can’t figure out how they work. There is no switch apparently, they all seem to be connected by a single wire. Funny thing is, late at night 2 of the lights switch on. It is possible that the rest of the bulbs are dead, but how are they being powered? No battery or solar panel can be found? Any idea how to find this out myself (please don’t suggest I bring a lighting person in, I am first trying to figure it out myself)? Thanks.

Hello, I want to have some light on my shed.
I was thinking on solar lighting. I have a 8xAA rechargeable battery from a toy car and I’m going to buy a solar panel, what kind do I need?
Do I need something else? What is a "solar panel controller"?
How I connect everything? What kind of bulbs are better?
Lots of questions! Thanks for your help!

PS. I WANT to build it, I know there are very cheap ones out there, but the objective is to learn a bit of electricity (positives and negatives and all that).

*Is it better to keep lights on or to turn them on and off when you are in a room?
*Do security outdoor motion sensor night lights really elevate your bill? I have four outside. Only one of them is an energy saver bulb. The one on the side of the house has two bulbs that stay on for a long time when anyTHING passes by. Do solar lights stay on all night?
*How much electricity does a refrigerator burn? There is one on the first floor and one in the basement that are both running.
