Driving along the Stretton Top we noticed small Christmas Trees (looked imitation but difficult to tell) they were fixed to the lamp posts and appeared to be in a red pot.
Over the top of them looked liked a mini soloar system panel.
Has anyone else noticed these and what if anything do these solar panels do ( if that's what they are? )
-
I'm guessing they will power any lights on the Christmas trees.
-
I drive past there 4 times a day. Will open my eyes and have a look ;D
-
Here you go, 1 every other lamppost from Highstairs Lane to the White Bear ;)

Speed cameras to catch Santa's sleight ;D or as Pete say's may have a sensor/ timer built in as well to detect when it is dark to turn lights on .

Me two first time I have seen them and that's only in Flys photo, but solar panels are getting more frequent in use ,and are being used a lot in roads signs etc see loads traveling , have you noticed that there are a lot more cameras mounted on lamp posts nowadays as well some read your number plate and you get a fine throught the post if your mot, tax etc as run out, I have seen VOSA vans driving on the motorways with cameras on as well doing the same thing.

This means I am going to have to drive along there when it's dark to see the effect

Nail on head LOL 8)
I'm dammed if I am, long way from Boza ::)

Ok will see what i can do over the weekend

Do you want to borrow my camera ;)
-
No it's ok thanks will have a go with mine, hubby will no doubt use his as well.
If they don't turn out very well then maybe someone else will have a go when they are passing.
Just interested to see how good it is
