Paul’s in love with these solar patio accent lights, probably because he’s charmed by Edison bulbs, which these resemble. Dual COB strips inside a glass bulb are powered by a solar cell in the base. The bulb and cell hang upside down in a 6-1/2” tall x 5” black wire cage, like work lights, with a handle. Has a sensor for auto shut-off plus a main switch. Picture a series of them hung from a wire over your deck, across your back yard or at your campsite, with no outlet needed. They also look good sitting on a table.

Stop waiting for Steven Spielberg to call, and just put your name in a marquee yourself. Also handy for greeting guests of honor at parties.
