Firstly you'll of course need some Sugru. I will be using yellow and red in this project

Some Bits and Pieces...

An old mosquito candle bowl makes a nice mount for the cheap lawn solar LED

Mix some red and yellow sugru to get a brownish mix. this was about 60% red 40% yellow.

Fill the end of the lamp with about half the sugru mix and attach to the bowl

work the sugru into the bowl to make a smooth join. leave to cure for 24hrs

Enjoy the lamp once the sun has set for the day. tip: cleaning the face with the solar panel will increase the time the LED is able to run at night.
