For your unmet festive yard needs. This 4-5/8" dia clear-plastic sphere contains a non-replaceable but rechargeable NiCad battery, a 2" square solar panel to keep it charged up, and a rubber-coated power switch. It comes with a constant white LED or a flashing multi-color LED inside it. It's maintenance-free, turning off and on as the ambient light waxes and wanes. You could toss a bunch into the pool for some floating cocktail-party elegance, but it does have a small mount on the top if you want to hang it from a tree. You ask us, we'd file off the mount and play night bocce ball.
