Unplugged Living

Solar Powered Address Lights

Here’s a surefire way to ensure that the pizza delivery guy doesn’t get confused and give your precious pie and cheesesticks to the neighbors by mistake. And it’s unplugged too. Now that’s a win, win!

The Solar Powered Address Lights unit features 4-inch tall digits that are highly visible both day and night. When darkness descends, the built-in light sensor activates the illumination so the numbers can be seen from up to 500 feet away and the unit switches itself off when dawn returns.

It is of course, solar powered, and rather efficiently at that. A mere four hours of sunlight will provide sufficient charge for three full nights of illumination. In case your desired location for the unit isn’t in a spot with enough sunny goodness, the solar panel can be detached and placed up to eight feet away.

It’s available from the folks at Smarthome.com for $49.99 US. Here’s the product page for the Solar Address Lights.
