We got these solar lights for $2, but when we got home, we discovered they didn't have the fittings for the stakes. There was no way to put them up in our yard. Clint went to Home Depot and cobbled together some fittings using metal rods. It took an hour. We ended up taking about $1 loss on these, spending about the same (close to $50) as if we'd bought them new. DAMNIT. However, when they finally fail, we'll have some threaded rods that we can perhaps re-use for some distant-future-purpose. Those will be more useful than the plastic stakes that came with this ever were.
These $9/ea lights are SUPER BRIGHT compared to $3/ea solar lights. But they do not cast a star-pattern of lines on the ground to help see depth in the dark, like the $3 lights do. So we alternated the two during the darkest part of the walkway up to our house: The 10 feet past the light of the streetlight, but before the range of our motion-sensing light. This gives us both ambient light ($9/ea lights) AND guide-lines on the ground ($3/ea lights), and is the perfect sotlution.
The bins, however, were $1 and are quite fine!
plastic bins, solar lights.

From June-September 2007, the City of Chicago will host "CoolGlobes: Hot Ideas for a Cooler Planet," an innovative project that uses the medium of public art to inspire individuals and organizations to take action against global warming. The CoolGlobes exhibit will be on display along Chicago’s lakefront from The Field Museum campus, north to Balbo Drive and at Navy Pier.

The Solar Pebble is an innovative solar powered lamp, targeted for use in rural Africa, as a humanitarian product, and at home in the UK as the perfect gift for outdoors, camping and festival enthusiasts.
Presently, in the world’s poorest regions including sub-Saharan Africa, reliance on kerosene burning lanterns kills one person every 20 seconds.
The LED Solar Pebble is powered by batteries that are charged from the sun via a small, efficient solar panel. It also has the ability to charge mobile phones and other devices!
The versatile ratchet handle allows the product to be carried and angled when standing or suspended.
The product can also easily be strapped to a backpack for daytime charging.

Monday, 6 April 2015: Chhokang Paro (3030 m) to Chumling (2385 m)
Two treats to start the day, before we’d even left Chhokang Paro: excellent cafetiere coffee at the Tsum Valley Cafe (chairs in the courtyard of a family house near to Namgyal’s) and a group of monkeys sunning them selves on rocks in the fields on the path out of the village.
Retracing our steps back down the Tsum Valley, Anthony and Hazel took the direct path to Chumling (चुम्लिंग) with Tsering, while Val, Namgyal and I took a more roundabout route distributing LED solar lights to homes in the remote communities of Gho, Renjam / Rainjam and Domje (Tumje / तुम्जे). Tampa and saag at the final farmhouse - very welcome. Tea offered everywhere.
Our path entailed lots of ups and downs, stretches along the banks of the Sardi Khola / Syar Khola / Tsum Chu river and rising back up to terraced fields and suspension bridges traversing the high steep slopes of the hills above.
Calling in at the gompa in Domje we met a Tibetan nun on her way to Mu who'd crossed the 5000m Nangpa La on her journey from Tibet.
Lazy afternoon in Chumling, and opportunity to enjoy this relatively large village in the sunshine and to gaze across the valley at Ripchet, a long village clinging to a narrow ledge.
Dinner in the weaving rooms again, and a thank you dance and song from the village ladies.
A few drops of rain - in KTM the forecast had been for bad weather across the whole of Nepal on 7/8 April. We were keeping our fingers crossed....

An entirely different project,roadside mechanics were supplied with solar lights to see if it would improve thier business prospects..A month into the trial,most of them wanted to buy the lights!So at the fag end of the internship,finally an installation!
A woman drying forest produce while keeping an eye on the solar panel charging nearby in a village in the Sheopur district of India’s Madhya Pradesh state. These panels charge a battery during the day which is used to provide lighting at night. Access to light allows villagers to enjoy a much greater quality of life - and lets them undertake livelihood generating activities like handicrafts during what would otherwise be 'dead' time.

These solar lighting systems were provided through work by the DFID UK funded Madhya Pradesh Rural Livelihoods Project (MPRLP) Here, MPRLP is working in partnership with the government agency known as the Madhya Pradesh Urja Vikas Nigam (MPUVN).

Hardship
Kiraska.. a tiny little village of barely a 100 people tucked away in the middle of nowhere
nestled in the heart of Rajor valley, 160 odd kms away
a tiny little hamlet forgotten by civilization and mankind, Kiraska like thousands of other villages across the country lives in a simpler ,harder time devoid of even the most basic of necessities like electricity.
Its a hard life eking out a living, the struggles etching itself into the lines on the faces of the people
Project Chirag, a mumbai based NGO has taken the first step in making their lives just a little bit better
I had the distinct pleasure of accompanying the Project Chirag team and documenting their mission to bring solar lamps to over a 1000 people in the valley
its a small start, but like all small starts its implications are huge.
Beyond addressing the health and financial issues caused by the traditional kerosene lamps, these solar lamps brought a sense of wonderment and hope of a better future
I had solar lights in jars that turned out not to be watertight. They let in rain and stopped working. I stripped them down and set them up in the shed. The shed roof is clear plastic. The lights charge during the day from the light coming through the roof, and at night the stain glass is lit up.
Thanks to solar light, village shop keeper Naresh Prasad no longer has to fear that rats will topple his oil lamp and set fire to his grocery shop. Fire caused by lamps is very real danger in the tinder dry houses in rural India.

These new environmentally friendly lights are run from a battery charged by a solar panel during the day. Access to light allows villagers to enjoy a much greater quality of life - and lets them undertake livelihood generating activities like handicrafts during what would otherwise be 'dead' time.

The summer solstice was our 'excuse' for a ladies midsummer garden party, hosted by my lovely friend Deirdre who used bright pinks and purples to create this stunning design where we sat and enjoyed snacks and sundowners....fabulous!!!

Several years ago when both Kathy’s and my Mothers were living with us before they died, Kathy’s Mom had to have a couple lights on all of the time in her room. I took the two small solar panels that I had acquired after my brother died and put them up on the roof. I ran wires down to a panel on the wall close to the battery box that is outside. The gauges tell me how much juice is going into or out of the batteries. I have another fuse panel and small wires ran through them to all of the rooms in the house. I am using LED lights in all of the lights so the battery will last for several days if it is cloudy for several days. Most of the LED’s are highly directional with a 15°angle of bright light, a few are more like a 60° angle so they are not as bright. I made the fixtures so they can turn to any spot in the room. You can aim them and set in a chair and read very easy in the beam of bright light. The rest of the room does have light from it but not like an incandescent bulb. I can light over 10 LED bulbs and not use the power that one car incandescent parking light uses. We have found them very handy when the power has gone out for several days. We use it every night as I have red LEDs in several rooms for night lights. That way we keep the system up and going. Something you don’t use, you don’t keep up.
