Our HOA is in process of looking for a permanent-ish light solution for the primary sign at the entrance of the neighborhood. Their initial suggestion after going through enough $15 lights was to jump right into the deep end and have lights hardwired which is already looking like it will be in the thousands to do (not in the budget). Rather than basing the opinion that solar lights don't hold up off $15 lights I figured i'd ask what high dollar solar options are out there which do in fact hold up? Only need two, one for each side of the sign. Thanks for the help!

Maybe a 2 12 volt LED flood hardwired to a battery and solar panel would be a good intermediate option. The lights would probably need to be around 20 watts each and it wouldn't be to hard to build a system that could easily run for 8 to 10 hours a night.
Scott, any viable self contained all in one options or is a separate component system with external battery pretty much the only real option?
I think it would be something you'd have to make. I have seen kits like it years back but it was sold on the Home Shopping Network and low quality home owner stuff. I still think it could be a viable option here with a little tinkering and to start I'd use on of my 12 volt deepcylcle trolling motor batt to fire it up.

One of the two electricians noted that box can’t be tied into. Waiting on quote from a second but I suspect the same conclusion and high cost for hard wiring.
