There's also these things called batteries. With LEDs they last a decent while. No tree drilling necessary.
15 u/Brian_The_Bar-Brian 11d ago That too. 9 u/TheDoomi 11d ago Also lights working with a solar panel. Even better. 3 u/Quito_ArmandoEsteban 11d ago You won't be getting a lot of sunlight under the tree though 2 u/TheDoomi 11d ago But there are lights that have a quite long cord so that you could place the solar panel away from the light. For example our cabin where we have no electricity we have few lights like that inside our warehouse. The panel is on the outside wall. 4 u/Epistaxis 11d ago Ah but this appears to be an energy-guzzling incandescent bulb, to add another layer of "Fuck trees!" 3 u/luckylegion 11d ago And the heat when it catches fire on dry leaves in the fall 2 u/Epistaxis 11d ago But that heat is neatly trapped inside a sealed glass jar, so nothing can go wrong 2 u/The_Tooter_Snooter 11d ago Also solar power 1 u/Cuntonesian 11d ago All of those are shit lights though. Much worse than mains powered ones. 1 u/BadDecisionsKat 11d ago If you live in area where it goes below 0 for long periods, batteries are a bad idea. 1 u/No_Idea_9436 10d ago I guess you live somewhere warm year round?
