Solar lightbulb

Interesting solar lightbulb.

First off, I hate when a web site automatically loads a video or sound track.  >:(

I don't have one of these, I'm not sure the $15 plus s/h is that great a deal.
I guess the screw base is OK but why put the switch above the base (assuming that is the switch)?  Screw the bulb in and out to turn it on?
And is it really the "Worlds only solar lightbulb"?  I think not!

The inventor (I'm not sure if he's the inventor or not, under the "About Us" link it looks like most of the crew is in/from China) is the same guy that invented the RevoPower bike wheel which never quite "made it out of the gate".

He is a thief and a fraud. Harbor Freight has been selling solar light bulbs for over 10 years. If you just don't stick them in the ground they work just fine indoors.
