Solar lights suck. They're never bright enough, or stay on long enough. Then the batteries loose capacity and finally die after 3 years. Solar accent lighting will never save you money in the long run because the cost of the solar panels exceed the value of the very low power consumption.

The right way to power LEDs is DC, but the results with household AC are fine.
