House Christmas Lights

ZenGum · 12-03-2008, 09:01 PM

I have recently installed some lights, but not as a Christmas thing.

I have a dark hallway and front room in my house. So dark I needed to leave a light on to be able to safely walk about at night ... waste of electricity/money/CO2.

So I got some solar powered decoration lights. One set has 300 LEDs in icicle drops, the other has nine LED stars. The stars run down the hallway and the icicles are hung around a strategic central wall. I had to do a bit of wiring to make it all reach but it worked first time.
It is free to run, automatic, and self-charging. All great except for one technical issue that I might post about here when I get time.

Where'd you get those from Zen? I'd be interested in having a look about for them.
