Has anyone tried using a solar light (sidewalk\driveway) for a night anchor light?

They are super cheap and state that they'll go for up to 10 hours. Not sure how bright they are though.
Would they start out bright or fairly bright and then dim over time?

Don't know how bright these are, but for the price they might be worth checking out.

The ones I've seen do dim out over time and, unfortunately, they probably aren't bright enough at first to meet visibility requirement. Could be a good idea, though....
