Solar Christmas Lights

Why Solar Christmas Lights?

admin — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 20:44:59 +0000

While Solar Christmas Lights sounds like an old joke, they are very real. How many of us drive or walk arround the neighborhood during the Holliday Season to see the beautifully decorated yards and houses. Some people go all out on decorations. Not all are as active as this one.

How much do you suppose this guys electric bill is? More than I’d like to pay, but that is not the point. Whether you are an environmentalist or not, it just makes sense to conserve our resources whenever possible. There is a heated debate on Global Warming, and just to be on the safe side, not wasting energy is one thing each of us can do to to help- just in case it isn’t a hoax.

But does this mean we can no longer experieine the beauty and joy of the light displays that have become so much a part of the Holiday Season? Well fortunately for us there is solution that allows people to have prolific diplays of holiday lights and do it powered entirely by the Sun. Solar Christmas lights are powered by solar panels that charge power cells during the day so you can spread holliday cheer all night long.

As you can see just using LED lights is a huge savings but when you power the LED’s with a solar panel you can see it takes 0 power from the power grid.

"Secret" hideaway outside. Decoration ideas?

admin — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 19:43:17 +0000

OK, so the other day I was outside and I climbed into the woods and found, dun-ta-da, a log pile. It was one big log and then a pile of wood chips, and horizontaly another log, and another log ON THAT going verticle. I decided it was a pleasant place besides spiders, roaches and rattlesnakes (not too worried, its really cold out, spiders i’d kill and same with roaches) OK so anyway, I made it my little getaway.
So i stripped away some bark on the low log and put down a towel.

Then i put up solar lights and such, well, now I am really attached to it.
I have a bed (sorta, its a towel on the log) and a dart board I made and hung in the trees, I made cleaning supplies and newspapers for my friends who alll have houses outside. Now we play a town called, "Utopia" and we have news, mail and all sorts of REALLY cool things. Straight to the point. I need other ideas.

I have a main entry way, emergency exit and wood exit/entrance.
Either way, I need more Ideas. My "House, I call it" is really nice, well, besides being outside. So any ideas? its complete with:

A news room (Where I edit newspapers I make, called Utopia news, and mail called Daily mail)
A wooden a tv. (Im currently editing where I can have peices of paper over a wooden TV screen and flip through "Channels")
A table (A brick with a glass table top over it)
A bed (Barbie jeep cover folded up like pillow with towel over it)
solar lights
A christmas "tree" (A small little tree I found, not even the size of a hamper lol)
an entry way including my handmade dart board (I call it, "Log cabin games" Its kind of like my "company"
Cleaning supplies (Does a sea oat branch count??)
Etc, etc.

Well its sooooo cool.
Please dont talk me out of it Im attached to it.
But do you have other ideas? Anything snakes dislike? Anything spiders and roaches dislike?
Come on, help me!

Sounds like a real cool pad. I bet your girlfriend really likes it too, huh? I would check out the local dump and pick up some tin cans to use for glasses, and maybe you can find some old carpet there as well. Steal some clear plastic from a building site, and make some windows. Are you near a water source? Consider building a moat around the place. As to the snakes and insects, it’s a little known fact that neither of those critters can stand being around idiots, so I think you are quite safe. I have no snakes or roaches, so I know it works.

Hi,How come you can’t add miniChristmas lights to a string of Led Christmas lights?Please let me know why…

LEDs are light emitting diodes and require different voltage than the regular light,,the voltage required for a regular light would cause the LEDs to blow,,,
