AT Christmas 2008 we bought some lights for the garden which went on for half an hour and then switched off.

In the summer they were moved to a place in the garden where there was more sun on the solar panel and they performed well switching on and off between dusk and 11 pm.

Imagine our surprise over the last few days when the snow-covered panel switched on the lights at 4 pm and kept them going until 6 am at least!

Are there any boffins out there who can throw light on this strange phenomenon.
