The title of this video is 'Build a solar powered light...' All you did was buy one from Walmart and stick it in a piece of wood. Where's the building???
You should change the title of this video to 'Where to buy a solar powered light' or 'How to drill a hole in a piece of wood'

There is a battery in the top sou you do need a battery, eventually.

Actually, this helped me a lot. I was looking for cheap solar lights with timers to set into some hanging lanterns that are meant for candles that I have. By making a holder in a piece of board like you did, I can just use the top of them. I didn't know the stem came off as I am shopping online and have not looked at one in the store. (I don't live by stores and rarely go) Thank you!!!

Here Walmat in season charges 3.50, but in the fall they drop to 2.00 on clearance, but I miss the clearance sale this year. I seen some Xmas holiday lights in this same style, but smaller for 2.50. I'm not getting any caz, I have enough of the others now.

LOL; U beat me to sharing this idea. I hadn't done so yet because I never got around to installing a switch on it to be able to turn it off. Another refinement would be to build a fixture that uses a reflector. Another would be to install another battery in parallel. 1 of same voltage & ampacity would 2x run time but charge time wold be 2x as well. A bat. with the same voltage & but lower ampacity could strike a better balance. As in paring up the stock AA with a AAA.

What is the 2X4 for?

@bigt2318 To hold the light. The bottom is uneven and won't stay up without something to hold it.
