Wireless Outdoor Solar Lights

For almost 2 decades, consumers have been able tp purchase those little lights that are set out in yards, in flower gardens, along sidewalks and pathways, around driveways, etc. The originals required lines of electrical wire to be buried a few inches under the surface of your yard etc. They were not the most convenient to use. A short while later, the wireless systems were introduced. I would guess that throughout the past 2 decades, we have probably purchased more than 100 of them and have thoroughly enjoyed them wherever we planted them. But with practically every other manmade products, they eventually die. Over and over again, we threw these away and went out and bought new ones. The product companies loved us for it but we hated the wastefulness of just throwing them into the landfill.

Last weekend, I was putting out some new lights and came across some of the older burned-out predecessors. All of a sudden, I had a great thought! I decided to see if our regular AA and AAA batteries might work to replace the originals that had come with them. I figured that I was probably just wasting my time when less that 1 minute after I had replaced one battery with a new one, the light began to glow again! I replaced several more batteries and all "transplants" were successful. So before you toss your old ones, try replacing the batteries.
