Solar lights, like to light your walk way, something like these and some solar lights for your tent (outside) so you can easily spot it. These string lights would look cool on the outside, and would help with lighting your area when its dark.

You could look into how solar-powered garden lights work. They charge during the day, and then turn the lights on at night.

The only thing that makes me suspicious is the lack of detail on the amount of lumens it puts out, specifics on the type of LED, etc. Apparently they also work as a phone charger.. I don't know where I would get an adapter for my specific phone, but I could always make one if need be.

And this whole 3rd world charity thing.. ok, I can live with that I guess.

I have been playing around with these for a similar usage.

They are one LED lights (no idea what type of LED unfortunately) and typically run off 2 AA batteries that are recharged from the solar panel on top of the light. I've been removing the AA's and wiring in old mobile phone batteries. I then epoxy the lamp + battery onto the inside of a mason jar lid and affix the panel on the outside. So you wind up with a very similar light, just no where near as slick and pretty.

They were handy when the power was out for an extended period though!

Get a solar powered garden light like these. Remove the rechargeable battery and the solar cell. Connect them using a low Vf diode such as the SB140 (thru hole) or the PMEG2010 (surface mount). Attach an LED flasher circuit made with an LM3909 IC, available from eBay. Done

Knowing that there is no electricity at the campsite.. SOLAR POWER!!

At least thats what we did last year, and it worked great! We had little driveway lights all around our campsite so finding it at night would be easy. They were something like these http://www.amazon.com/Garden-Creations-JB5629-Solar-Powered-Accent/dp/B002X8X8UG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1426870944&sr=8-2&keywords=solar+powered+lights

And now I've discovered that amazon even has solar powered string lights! How cool would these be at your campsite?: http://www.amazon.com/INST-Powered-Ambiance-Lighting-Christmas/dp/B00KGOCRLA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1426870944&sr=8-3&keywords=solar+powered+lights

No electricity? No problem! Nothings a problem when you're in the forest ;) Also not the best video but here I am hula hooping! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qteA9AQQZs&feature=youtu.be

Ok, so fine... great idea... give Africa light. No problem there.

But really? $15?

You can buy a set of 8 solar garden lights for $17.38 on Amazon.

Maybe they aren't too reliable (though the comments aren't all that bad, really), but even if only 1/4 of them last, they're still quite a bit cheaper.

>I really wanna say that even with 100% efficiency that solar panel would not be able to give 240 V AC (guessing that's a European plug) and provide the current for any appliance.

Power output is measured in watts, not volts/current. Watts = Volts x Current. The one in the picture is pretty thick, could fit a decent number of capacitors or rechargeable cells.

>I would actually love these if they were only lights that could take in light during the day for night time lighting.

That you could do today. http://www.amazon.com/Garden-Creations-JB5629-Solar-Powered-Accent/dp/B002X8X8UG/ref=lp_553784_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1368185695&sr=1-4
