This instructable is based on an existing cheap lighting system powered by a solar panel which is recharging as well 3 x 1.2volts battery!

So what you need:
-20 leds
-mirror film (maybe the most difficult stuff to find just go in a huge  DIY store) Take care for this one it is sold in big roll !
-a mirror
-a power supply
-a plexiglass sheet at the same size of the mirror or slightly bigger!! :)
-2 small magnet balls

Open the Solar Light!

So there were just few screw to remove to take all the devide and then just need to test the solar panel to see if it is all right!

Leds Soldering and Box Insertion!

then you need to solder all 15 leds in a circuit and link it to the existing one powered by the solar panel!

After you just need cardboard to fix your led in a rigid structure!

For a better and stronger render just create a wood frame to the tailored size!

Put the mirror behind leds!

The Full Circuit!
