new solar lights for night golf
 
Got new solar lights on the Highland course. Found some solar lights that seem to charge in lower light levels (cloudy, under trees) that also seem to stay charged a fairly long time. Remember, if you want to play night golf please be here BEFORE dark.
Thanks, Bob

Where did you find them at. Also do you have any pictures to post of them in light and then in the dark. Really sounds like a good thing.

Actually Home Depot has them, they are a smaller light, instead of 2.4 lums it's 1.2, so it's a softer light, less energy, longer charge, yet very visible at long distance. I modified the stand for them, shortened and epoxied on a short pipe so it would fit under the protective cage. Yesterday it was cloudy most of the day here, yet last night at 10 PM all the lights were on except for hole #5 where it's super dark during the day. Being a sunny day I imagine that that light should charge up, and if it does not then I'll do some limbing of trees.

I did not put lights again on the tee pads, for folks were complaining that being high up like they were it was ruining their night vision.
