I found these little gadgets while flipping through Digg. These bricks use solar panels to charge during daylight to generate up to 8 hours of power at night. The lights automatically turn on at night, so no need for any wiring. You’re supposed to just bury them in your path or wherever else you’d place paving stones . . .
Cool concept, but a bit steep at $59.95 each

Those bricks are pretty cool. It’s nice to see that more and more products and turning to alternate, sustainable sources of energy. The price on those are a little high, but these types of products will probably start to go down in price.
I saw a very similar product at ocean state job lots for about $12 a square. I’m cheap but crazy about solar things so it is very hard for me to not buy as many as possible.
Wow this can really ad value to a home if designed right, I have so many ideas already, the fact that it is self sustainable make’s it that much more attractive the, price is a litle hight but it’s well worth it my wife has to see this.
