Is there a solar powered outdoor flood light kit that uses a wireless (remote) wall switch instead of a motion sensor?

I have been searching for a solar powered flood light for my back yard that has a wireless switch, rather than the standard motion sensor/dusk to dawn sensor or the switch that is on the light itself.

I want a flood light to light up my back yard that has a switch I can mount where I want it.

I am handy with circuits and a soldering iron, so a DIY solution would be welcome too. I would like to avoid running cable if possible (other than the solar panel).

    the solution will be to wire in a photo ''eye'' to control the dusk-to-dawn switch ... hardware big box stores and Radio Shack and electronics supply stores can help you get the photo cell that uses the least power so it will stay on as required by U.
