    Nice woodshed, and lights.
    I have a string of rope lights on my shed hooked up to a motion activated switch. Because my shed runs along the driveway to the side entrance to the house that we use most of the time, our woodshed lights also double as lighting for when people are coming and going at night.
    Sorry I don't have a picture to post. I haven't got around to taking one yet.

    FarmHand78 I have been really pleased with them, they burn really bright when activated-they are burning all night-it does add a little security and be nice in dead of winter

    They look to cast a good sized beam on the ground. Are yours around 9' off the ground? I wonder what they would cast at 14-16' high?

    No sir mine are at about 7.5" due to the obstruction of the solar panels by the over hang on my roof-They would cast fine at the height you suggest as long as they get a good southern exposure to the sun for most of the day

    That's E="Ashwatcher, post: 389738, member: 2563"]Given papadave 's recent misfortune, I put up some motion activated LEDS-they glow dim dusk to dawn but kick out pretty good light when activated, will help out on those late winter night trips to the shed too View attachment 71948 View attachment 71950 [/QUOTE]

    That's just a beautiful setup you have there.

    AW, "very nice"!!! set up and lights! I have three Dogs and that would be nice to see where I'm going because I usually step in well..... :zip::eek::(:headbang::whistle: when I go out to get wood for the night, even though we clean the yard every day, I have a Corgi who things it's funny to crap right in front of the wood pile! I believe he thinks he's adding to it!
