My newly installed garden room has no electricity. It could have, if I didn't mind someone cutting an 18in deep trench through my precious garden for the power cable, and connecting it up to the main house system. As I shall probably use my garden room mostly during daylight hours, I shall rely upon other solutions like smokeless candles (hate the damage that smoky candles cause to decor, not to mention lungs!), battery candles, and perhaps even solar light. However, I understand that solar panels do not fare so well behind glass, so I would have to have the panel outside with the light itself inside. sigh. Meanwhile, while I ponder upon it, I have bought a silver-coloured solar LED spotlight on a spike which I have stuck into the soil and which lights my Room externally during dark hours. I think it looks really good at night and it's interesting how the light on the double glazing has duplicated the little
hummingbirds (stickers).

Below is my solar light. I might invest in another to place at a different angle.

Now I need to figure out how to heat the Room without electricity, but with safety in mind.
