During our July 4th holiday weekend, I wanted to go night fishing with the boyfriend. His protest - no money in the budget for a lantern. My answer - use the 99 cents LED solar pathway lights I had purchased on sale.
I pulled up 5 of the lights from the yard, packed them in my reusable grocery bag, and off we went. We used 3 lights to mark the pond edge (slight drop off), one we placed next to the worms to bait our hooks by, and we also left one light on the dash of the car. It was a nice beacon to locate the car when returning to it at 2 am.
I also discovered that the lights in the reusable grocery bag made a nice "lantern" to use to follow the dark path. Now they are back in their proper places, charging for our next night fishing adventure.

If you experience a power outage, grab your outdoor solar lights for use indoors. They should last for a few hours. This is a page about using solar lights for power outages.
Solar lights come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Putting some along your fence line can add a nice dimension to your landscaping.
Using hanging solar lights and sun light through your windows, you can save electricity and keep your home lit all evening long. This is a page about using solar lights for indoor lighting.
