How to Change Batteries in Christmas Solar Star Lights
A fairly recent yuletide decoration innovation has been the introduction of solar powered Christmas lights. They are environmentally friendly, can be installed anywhere, and will turn on automatically at dusk. A small solar panel uses sunlight to recharge batteries which in turn power the lights at night. Provided they receive sufficient sunlight, the power they produce keeps the lights lit for many hours. Replacing the battery or batteries is very simple and requires only a few minutes to complete. Does this Spark an idea?
