Granny's gone and done it again

Thank you. Hmm, that's a lot of lights. Were they easy to install?

Pretty easy, We drilled a whole for the extension cord, screwed in the lights where we wanted them, setted up the solar panel, cocked the hole so there wouldnt be any drafts. I think the hardest part was trying to turn it on lol we could not figure it out and it turned out it wasnt dark enough yet

Lol sounds like something I would do too! Thanks I will look into it. I thought you had like some little Christmas lights. I know it does not take much light to make a difference. What I have in there now is the housing for a heat lamp with just a regular household bulb in it. But I plug it in about 3:30 in the afternoon when I feed treats, gather eggs and clean poop trays, and DH unplugs it at 7 pm. He puts the feeders away and locks up about 5 pm when he gets home from work, so turning the light off is an extra step. If I can find something solar, he won't have to worry about it.

Yeah it's really nice that it shuts itself off, and I feel better not having something plugged in

Blue this is what I use with just one bright LED bulb in the heat lamp device. Works like a charm.

That's what i used to use.

I set mine to come on 3 hours before sunrise and to go off about half an hour after sunrise use one 200 watt equivalent LED bulb that lit the coop up well. 14'x16' hoop coop.

Had my snack to go with meds and the meds. I'm ready to find my pillow. My cough is better and I hope it will not come back when I lay down. Goodnight Granny Land.

It would be hard for me to believe the chickens cared what time the extra light came in from.

unless they check the time on their leg watches.
