Try one of the new ones with a solar panel and LED's.

Very low power consumption with a very bright light.

The panel will give enough power even in poor sunlight.

I bought a battery operated 'Mr Beams' unit from Amazon. Takes 4 batteries and lights up for 20 seconds via the motion sensor and only when dark. It was so good I bought another for the rear of the house, excellent if you've no power supply
