This is an email that was sent to me but makes very good sense.

This is probably one of the best ideas i've seen in a long time...

SOLAR LIGHTS! WHEN IT STARTS GETTING DARK - BRING THEM IN......
TAKE THEM BACK OUT IN THE MORNING TO CHARGE...
ALL THANKS TO MOTHER NATURE...RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES NOT NEEDED...

Here's an idea so you're not in the dark.

Solar lights can be bought for very few dollars.

Last week, a thunderstorm rolled through our neighborhood and a huge
oak tree came down on some power lines, creating a power outage
for a large area around us. We lost power for about 5 hours.

We were scrambling around in the darkness, looking for matches,
candles, flashlights, etc.

We looked Outside, and noticed our solar lights shining brightly all
around our patio, stairs, dock, etc. They were beautiful. Pat
walked outside, and brought several of the solar lights inside.

We stuck the solar light pipes into plastic drink bottles containers
and they made the nicest, brightest, safest, lighting you could
ever imagine.

We put one in the bathroom, the kitchen, the living room, etc. There
was plenty of light.

There are all types of solar lights available. We bought ours at
Harbor Freight. We put them all around our yard. They look
nice and they do not attract flying bugs like the outdoor
lights around our doorway.

The lights we have fit into the small (20oz) water bottles and
they also fit into most of the larger liter bottles. If you need
a weight in the plastic bottle to keep them from tipping over,
you can put a few of the pretty colorful "flat marbles" that they
put in aquariums, and vases. (You can also use sand, aquarium
gravel, etc., whatever you have available).

The lights we have were perfect inside our home. They burn
all night long if you need them.

The next day, you just take your solar lights back outside and they
will instantly recharge and be ready for you to use again any time
you need them.

Perfect for power outages, hurricanes, etc.

Z, what a great idea and cheap too!!!!!!! Will definitely add these to our landscaping/interior lighting when we return for our next visit.

What a great idea! Thank you so much for sharing. This is much safer than having candles all over the house.

I sure wish I had read this before Irene passed through! It was sunny every day after she departed, yet we had no power. Neat idea.

Thank you ZCAVEMAN! This is an excellent post, and can be very helpful to many people all over. I just sent it to my daughter in NJ. She just got her power back on from Hurricane Irene today. This would have helped her. I'm sure it will help for the next time. I am going to do the same. Thanks again for the great post.
