It would be a shame to waste energy for such a bulb, it would be best to power the LED directly from the power supply, the value of the energy that such a lamp will produce in a year is a dozen-something pennies. At this price, it doesn't matter if the electricity for the lamp is free or you have to pay. Yes, but a little weaker. You can also.

Inside the lights there is a circuit that is responsible for charging the battery. Increasing the intensity of the light will not change anything when it comes to the charging time of the cell and whether it is natural or artificial light does not matter.

Hello.
I have 5pcs solar lights at 2.50 for the second year.
So I wonder if it is possible ;

Charge them with some kind of artificial light , incandescent bulb?
Will they charge through the glass in the window when the sun will arrive?
Can you somehow faster charge them, for example, making a hare from the mirror direct an additional ray of sunlight on the small solar panel?

You can also.
