I do not have a light for my front porch. Eventually we plan to install a front porch light but that would require electrical work.
I really want something that I could switch on and off myself. I thought maybe there would be a battery powered light that I could hang and switch on that would give off enough light.
Many solar lights do not give off much light. Has anyone seen anything that might work?

use a car battery and wire it to a 12 volt light bulb. or a head light bulb if want a lot of light. –google–" 12 volt screw base bulb"–. They go into regular light bulb sockets, so you can put up a regular porch light fixture and when you get your elec out there you can use the same light fixture just by replacing the 12 volt bulb with a 120 volt bulb. The batt will power light like this a long time.+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
