futurebreeze I must add some feedback after 3 months or use, it suddenly stopped working. As I couldn't return it back I tried to repair it. I cut it open with a dremel and I realized that when the batyery was discharged at about 3.4V (it has a protection module) the light circuit (a small microcontroller) stops the light. The battery is very poor, it has 800mAh (tested on a dedicated charger). The problem was that at daytime when the solar panel was giving power, the whole circuit stated to oscillate between on and off states. I put a 220uF capacitor on the MCU power pins and the problem was solved, the light could charge normally again. I don't know if I had the bad chance to get a detective unit or is poor engineering, that oscillation was causing the light to never charge again after a complete (3.4V) diacharge.

Dave Note: I have replaced batteries in my older metal/aluminium lights by heating the edge of the front glass and prising the glass plate off the front of the light. The glass is siliconed onto the casing for water proofing. If glass breaks then get a clear glass cut at your local glass window supplier.
