Sawhorse-Mounted, Solar-Powered Spotlight

Sawhorse-Mounted Solar-Powered Spotlight ENERGY Solar Richard Zigler of Charles Town W Va came up with a couple of new uses for an outdoor solar-powered motion-activated floodlight - the kind often used at a remote gate or any place that’s vulnerable to vandalism or burglary     “I bought a solar-powered light equipped with a motion sensor at Home Depot and mounted it on a 3-ft tall sawhorse It works great when backing up to an auger hopper at night during harvest ” says Zigler “I also use it to get rid of varmints By setting the spotlight next to a natural runway for wildlife and baiting it I can catch coyotes as they activate the light and shoot them I’ve also used it to hunt deer this way on DNR-sanctioned crop damage hunts “The spotlight I use has a timer that can be set so the light will stay on for 5 or 10 min after activation It also has a manual setting so it won’t go off unless I turn it off and a sensitivity setting for the distance from which it will activate ” He paid about $55 for his solar-powered light Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Richard Zigler 1083 Roper North Fork Road Charles Town W Va 25414 ph 304 283-6799; rzigler01@gmail com
