How about the coil with resistor shaped. This is the first time I see one of this coils. How did you know that it was a coil? It is indicated in the PCB as "L + number"?

These are very short-lived devices! Many do not visit a workshop like this one did! Many thanks for your input!

Now they just use the solar cell as light indicator and if it gets dark (0V over the cell) the led automatically lights up.
Sadly all cheap solar lights go 'kaput' in time. By corrosion or because the solar cell quits or after the battery corrodes. I have had to throw too many of those away already. Also after the plastic housing deteriorates after too many hours of UV light.
