Recommendation for solar powered lighting, please

[Rockingit]

So a family member wants to put an outdoor light or two on the end of a driveway, purely passive and solar powered. These used to be naff and not worth it, but I know technology has come on. Lots of units out there but which ones are actually worth the buying?!

Good question, I had a similar application last year where client wanted solar lights to illuminate some trees rather trench across 2 acres of back garden lawn (dont think cost of actual trenching/cable would have been a problem, just didnt want his lawn wrecked - discounted mole due to roots).
I couldn't find anything from a reputable manufacturer powerful enough for his needs (unless risky Chinese products)!
His gardener said he could get some so we lost out there but still not sure what he ended up with or if did the job)

I have not yet found a solar powered light that stands up to the rigours of time.

They're very common now in farm outbuildings
Not sure how well they last though?

A lot available but don't like our short hours of daylight in winter.
Most are made for other countries that have more daylight hours to help charge batteries
