RE: Solar Charger and Light
It's the sunshine bit that concerns me. 15 hours is a long time in sunshine time.
.44 watts @ 5.5 volts I've read the spec right. Thats only 80 millamps of current.
To charge a flatish 1200mah cell at a 15 hour rate it could do it, just.
Still I suppose you'd never completely flatten the internal cell and that's what they are relying on.
The USB charge is realistic though with 500–900 mA the generally quoted output of a standard port although I've blown out PC USB ports pulling 500ma for longer than a couple of hours.
60 lumens for a led is roughly 1 watt. 3.7 volt battery, so an hours worth of light, yep.
Looks good on paper and as SKvez says, £4.99 a fair price even if you just stripped it for spares.
