I would like the add two lights to my 10x12 shed

Since the shed has no power, I am leaning towards solar powered, LED lights

I don't think I want motion activation, but rather one's that come on at dusk and stay on for a few hours

Any suggestions?

I know there are some that use panels, but I do not want to run wiring with remote solar panels

I would prefer to have the solar panels integrated in to the light fixtures

I bought these 2 years ago and they are still going strong. They have a "nightlight" that you can have on all night and then with motion they kick on full for a few minutes. You can also set them to just motion.
Having led solar on full for any length of time kills the batteries in short order. Also not good to run out completely every night.

Thanks

Is the 4.5 watts bright enough? I can find the lumens

I bought something similar to that also on Amazon. To save battery power I have them set to come on with motion. You can also set them that they are dim dusk to dawn and go bright when there's motion.

I have these mounted across a fence at my rental property. They are bright and do a good job with local lighting when placed at 5-6' off the ground.

I used them to take the dog out at night and was always able to see. They have now lasted at least a year out back in the elements.

This is what I have on my shop. I bought 3 of them. They usually stay on for a couple of hours after dusk. I bought them at tractor supply for 30 a piece. I have 3 installed.

I put one of these in my 10x20x10'shed, works great. Got it at Costco.

Had to cut the cable and splice it, there was no way I was going to drill a 1/2 inch hole in the new shed.

I bought two inexpensive Solar Powered Security LED Lights 6 years ago for my shed, they are still going strong. I also use Battery powered, Motion Sensored, Dusk-to-Dawn LED lights inside the shed. They work great for this purpose.
I also have 4 of these

I bought in the bargain bin at Home depot packaged together for $24, after Christmas 3 years ago. I put one at each corner of my house. They are still going strong. There are so many inexpensive options available.

PS: I forgot about the 4 cheap battery powered motion sensor, LED lights I put in the attic, 6 years ago as well. I have not even changed the batteries.
