Small Green Project - Solar powered pathway lights

Stumbling around in the dark can be dangerous. You never know where you might step. Having your walking paths lit can prevent a fall or at least you can see where you will hit the ground. Solar powered path lights are a simple way to illuminate any path around your house. They require no wiring so installation is as simple as putting a stake in the ground. The top of the light has a small solar panel that charges a rechargable AA battery. I've put in two sets of lights, one by the shop building and the other set in the rose beds along the front of the house. They are fairly inexpensive and can be purchased in large packs at Sam's club. You can get solar pathway lights at any hardware store, discount store and even harbor freight tools. The only maintenance involved is to occasionally clean the dirt that will accumulate on solar panels and to prune any bushes that will block the solar panels from sunlight.
