Little solar lights I think have just crossed an important threshold. In the worst of Newfoundland winters: overcast days, snow on their little tiny panels ~ they still charge enough to run through the night.

Melting out from under deep drifts, the batteries don't die - they spring back to life. Even after hundreds of charge cycles, still usable.

They are bright enough for illumination (not just decoration).

My hub75 based display has started having rendering issues lately. After messing around for a while and getting nowhere I believe I've finally fixed it by reducing the power supply voltage to 4.7V instead of 5V. I guess some of these displays don't really like 3.3V logic and reducing the difference helps.
