Solar Lights

solar light over the sink
so bright now!


















Hi guys- thought you would enjoy these shots- The solar light that Brian made from a plastic bottle has been installed over a dark sink area at our Chacap daycare - and wow what a difference!! We will definitely be installing more of these next year. The solar lights are made from a plastic coke bottle filled with water and one capful of chlorine. It is inserted into a metal collar that matches the roof contour of the house. It is then inserted into a hole in the roof with one third of the bottle exposed to the sun and two thirds of  the bottle hangs in the room and provides the equivalent light of a 35 watt light bulb.
