Electric Yard

On one of the deal sites that I visit, they posted a deal on an Outdoor 3-Piece Solar Stepping Stone set.  The image shows them as being fairly bright, but I’ve never had great success with solar lighting being very bright.  However, with stepping stones, bright isn’t as important as visable.

I could see using these in that well-worn path to the garbage can outside, or maybe another path that runs off your sidewalk.

$68 plus free Ship-To-Store seems a little high, especially considering some of the 50/50 reviews, but might be a nice addition to your yard.  Let us know if you got them, and what you think!

Check it out at Wal-Mart!

Saw this on CrunchGear … a solar powered pool skimmer from Solar-Breeze.com.  According to the description, the Phoenix-based company claims the robot runs all day long while receiving sunlight, cleaning your pool of dust and dirt.  The skimmer will reduce your pump run-time, decreasing your power usage.  Since it operates on top of the water, it catches most things before they sink, which reduces the pump time, as well as reducing the amount of chemicals you need.

Don’t have a pool to test this one out…let me know if you buy one!  No word on if it will also carry drinks around the pool for you.
