    Yeah, verily! I could see using one to light up a garden shed that doesn't have electricity. It's a clever idea.

    Just when you think you've got it all figured out, someone changes the rules.

    Yeah. You have to wonder how many of those are just waiting to be thought up.

    wow. i've got 2 have 1.

    "shoe-shopping-good"!

    so brilliant, the light!

    i was just thinking about 'bright ideas' at 1:am ("why you can't go home from the office when you work at home"). even though it is only 9:55pm here about to go back to 8:55pm

    weird "hybrid" eclipse (dual) solar and annular --= at dawn tomorrow in the East

    so this is a nice story 4 - 2 day to see a new way.

    thanks paul!

    Now I can light my secret underground lair for free! I wonder if this would work in a "channel" type of setup, like where you have a long tube of water instead of bottles, maybe some mirrors inside it to keep the light going. What a cool idea.

      Ron,

      You can use fiber optic cable for that. Not as cheap or revolutionary, but it works. Just takes longer for the payback.

      Or you could rely on the traditional villain's trick for eco-friendly underground illairmination: Phosphorescent moss on the walls.

      Dan,

      True, but when you're starting from zero, any positive addition helps.
