I'm not sure what the original light has inside it, but this clone has a decent solar panel, very "recycled" lithium cell and a very minimalist PCB with a 1W Luxeon-style LED on it. With a fully charged cell the light should be quite bright. Maybe actually pushing the LED too hard given its lack of a heatsink and foam surround. I like the idea of autonomous floating solar lights. In a way it would be nice if the solar panel pointed into the diffuser so that it could charge while floating, but that might cause issues with the very minimalist dusk sensing feature. The lithium cell in this unit clearly has a history, but still managed to muster about 700mAh. It also has protection, which is important in this case as the PCB doesn't have overcharge protection circuitry. There's always that issue of charging solar lights in direct sunlight too, as the high temperature can cause issues. In this case the cell is at least under a reflective white surface.
