Anyone use one of these? I need an outdoor light to put over the garage door to light up the driveway a little more. I know nothing about wiring and I saw one of these solar powered motion sensor flood lights at Lowes. I was wondering if these are any good? Does the solar panel need to face a certain direction? How much light-time does the solar panel store?

Here is what I'm talking about:

15 watts is not much power. The light will not be bright. I would not use this anywhere I could run power to.
