6000W solar flame light - with schematic

Another slightly overstated eBay solar garden light. This one has options of the central dome being colour changing, flame emulating or red.
The circuitry is very similar to a light with equally ambitious power ratings, with the flame effect having its own processor.
First mod to make to these units is to add a resistor in series with the white LEDs to tame the current down for a longer run time. The solar panel is NOT generous, so any current reduction is very useful.
It would also be a very good idea to add a resistor to tame down the flame effect significantly, as it appears to be lit all the time at night when the main white light is off!
Note that it is always a bad idea to charge standard lithium cells when the temperature is below zero-C (water freezing point) as it interferes with the charging process and can damage the cell. That means a sunny but freezing winter day could harm these lights.

This also keeps the channel independent of TH-cam's algorithm quirks, allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.
