Arilux AL-SL06 Solar Sensor Wall Light on Banggood's website: http://bit.ly/2eSL7P7 - 50% off ($21.99 price held for Nov 2016)
The biggest solar sensor wall light I've ever seen - so far at least. There are 62 warm white LEDs on the front and a 5.5V 2W solar panel up top. Energy storage is provided by two 2200mAh 18650 cells behind the rear panel.
Disclosure: The review item in this video was supplied at zero cost.

    The auto brightness is distracting

    Rub the old solarpanels with toothpaste.

    Looks like quite a good light and the others you have have stood up to the test of time. Thanks for all the detail you put into this.

    Don't know if anyone else noticed, but looking at the item on BangGood's web site, specifications show the solar panel rated at 2 watts and the light at 8 watts. This pretty much means that in high mode, the solar panel most likely not be able to keep up with battery usage, especially with the longer nights of winter setting in. Based on a 12 hour day, the light in high mode could use up to 96 watts, while the solar panels under the very best conditions will only be able to restore 60 of those watts. Would be interesting to see actual power consumption numbers for all modes.

    They should have added a Dimwit mode for you.

    +Julian Ilett Have you ever thought about making a pure sine wave inverter to run off your battery bank?

    what would make a good coating for bare cells?
    fancy making a big panel and all the official coatings double the panel cost

    Very nice video Julian! Like this new style ๐Ÿ˜Š

    Use toothpaste or plastic polish to resurrect cloudy solar panels, then use clear coat (you know, those finishers) on it to seal the panel.

    +Julian, when you replaces the 18650 after ripping it apart, the system seems to have been on with only 1 battery installed. Are all the LEDs turned on with just one battery??
