Solar path lights. 5 BUCKS! |
|
Box of 6 for $29.95 (plus tax, if any) at Lowe's. And they stay lit ALL NIGHT LONG! Amber LEDs. Way cool!

1. I bought some several years ago |
|
and I was a bit disapointed because they gave off such little light. They were placed in 'full sun' spot...??:shrug:
Is there a specific feature that I should look for?

3. You might not be able to read a newspaper by them. |
|
But they're certainly bright enough to see a walkway, deck, sidewalk. I've used them since they first came out at around $20 a piece. These are MUCH better.

5. That was my experience also. |
|
Can be better than nothing, though.
I've seen some that have leds that are more bluish white that seem quite a bit Brighter. I've no idea of the comparative costs, though.

4. Fair enough, but how can you not? |
|
I think every T shirt I own was made in China. I avoid Walmart with a passion. But how do you NOT buy China goods when that's all there is? Sorry if I offended. :shrug:

I really do try to not buy Chinese stuff but it can be pretty difficult these days. hell- even band aids now say made in China- sterilized in the USA! One way is to buy recycled/second hand items. All the new electronic stuff seems to be from China. Another possibility is to buy less stuff & stop supporting the bush economy. or buy fair trade items-

7. I was around during the original hippie days- |
|
we made all of our our alternative stuff, decorated our clothes etc, now everyone buys everything readymade. there's such a consumer culture & we don't really need so much stuff.
But I am sorry, I didn't mean to rain on your solar lights! :)
