Solar-powered address numbers on your house
Categories: Reviews & Products, Alternative & Green Health
EZLight has come out with a great innovation: House address numbers that light up, powered by tiny solar cells.
This would be great, especially if you have a home business (like my wife and I do) and you need clients to be able to find your house easily. Also, it makes a lot of sense for emergency purposes (police and ambulance). And even if you just have deliveries that happen at night or dusk (pizza?), it will just be easier for them to find your house.
The painting contractors stained the cedar on the outside of our home a few weeks ago, and had to take off our address numbers. Now I'm seriously thinking about buying these as replacements for us. At $43 (plus shipping) for three numbers, the price really isn't too bad. And I just love finding ways to use solar power in small ways until we eventually build our next house that will have every conceivable renewable energy innovation (and efficiency!) built right in.
Thanks Cool Hunter!

You could buy those. Oooooor, you could go to Goody's and get some for cheaper than that. Probably around 25, 30 bucks (it depends on the sale). When I worked there last year, they sold well -- so I bet they still have them.
It's actually kind of sad. Customers would come up with the box and ask whether it was battery operated or if they had to plug it in to charge. Then they'd get all excited when they learned that it basicly powered itself.

Bessie,
Thanks for the tip!
Unfortunately, I don't know what Goody's is. I don't think we have them here in Ohio. Is it a Wal-Mart like store?

I found it ion their online store. It's different than last year's, but works all the same.
Turns out it's a rock, not a hanging set of numbers, but at half the price, it's worth considering.
