These DIY solar LED lights make it easy to grab things from my shed at night without struggling with a smartphone flashlight.

Overall, this DIY solar lighting setup is straightforward to make and perfect for sheds and small buildings, as well as boats and vehicles. If you need your lights to last longer, all you have to do is pick up a bigger solar panel and a bigger battery.

Some things I didn’t mention in the video:

- Alligator clips are far from the best way to connect wires long term, so if you want to make the connection a bit more permanent — especially in vehicles where everything gets moved around during transit — you can use electrical tape to tape the clips to the terminals
- Lead acid batteries shouldn’t be charged below -4°F (-20°C)
- The estimated solar panel and battery sizes at the end are conservative because I don’t want your lights to die unexpectedly 😜
- The adapter cable I used has a 7.5A fuse, so make sure you get a solar panel that won’t exceed this limit
