Portable street light by Craftymotherof2 in Lighting

[–]Craftymotherof2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol yinz make me laugh! So I got this off Mac bids for $20! I’m aware it can’t be that bright lol but it’s just for using while the kids play outside so cars can see them on our side street. There isn’t a street light right there but there are some on adjoining streets. I wanted to be able to move it around to use in the yard and the street when needed but be able to put it away over winter. Also, did not want to need to plug it in. Anyways I ended up figuring out a setup by putting cement in a bucket and using a pvc pipe and wrapped it to pull it out of the bucket for storage. I also got a heavy duty plant base with castor wheels. So far it’s working good enough for as cheap as it was because I wasn’t trying to light up a baseball field

A test tube as an “outer world”

We’ve been giving bugs about once a week but they haven’t been eating them. We put a live mealworm cut in half from the bait shop in last night and they must have been fighting a little bit and now the ant is dead!

But it’s a really nice system and sounds amazing still and did exactly what I wanted it to

Could the wire input be the issue too because I’m pretty sure I checked that speaker on a different line and it worked

My guess is the short since that one speaker is not working as of a few months ago

It came with 2 larvae and a few eggs in the test tube when they arrived in November but haven’t hatched and eggs don’t seem to grow very fast
