It's interesting that the 4 small solar panels face in all 360 degree locations, meaning that 2 of the panels will not receive direct sunlight for the most of the day. If the 4 panels only covered 180 degrees they would all receive sunlight if appropriately placed. The bulb could come with a cheap plastic bracket that sits outside facing towards the sun that the bulb sits in while charging and the bracket is designed to hold the bulb in one direction only, with the panels facing towards the sun.
This bracket could be screwed into a wall, post, fence anywhere with good solar access throughout the day. This would also have the added advantage of giving the bulb protection from being broken while charging outside, also as the bulb would have a permanent charging location everyone would know where the bulb is located when night time comes along so it would be easy to retrieve in the dark (as you wouldn't have a light to find it!!)
