What to do for light in a power outage?   Use Solar Lights from the garden!

If you are ever in a situation where you are without electricity for a period of time, here's a little trick. Take charged up solar lights, set them in 20 oz or 1 litre plastic bottles and weigh them down with colorful marbles, sand, aquarium gravel, etc. Bring them into your house and set them around where you need light. They provide a nice, bright, safe, light for free and eliminate the need for batteries, which saves you money! You just bring them in at night and set them back out in the sunlight each day to recharge.

Bring a solar light into your house one night and see for yourself. Put one in each room and see your whole house light up. They are a perfect source of light and will stay lit all night long if you need it. The cost is no more than the effort it takes to bring them in and set them out each day. (Oh yea... plus the cost of the lights!)

As long as you continue to recharge them, they'll be ready for use any time there is a need.

Perfect for power outages, hurricanes, and saving electricity… these work beautifully!
