Next to this sign, there should be a taller lighted sign to warn people not to run into the sign.
Remember to "turn on your vinyl cutter", lol. But not before you buy a car so you have a ride to the dollar store...
I like the lights. They illuminate the steps nicely. I thought the arrows made it look cheap and were not attractive
A stake light on the ground, directly in front of the step (left & right) would also bring attention to the step.

Thats a real good suggestion. . .last year after a very heavy snow the front steps to our apt building were completely covered. They are treacherous enough when dry, but much worse when invisible from snow. I watched from the window upstairs as one of our substitute mailmen was struggling up the yard with handful of mail in one hand and a fairly large heavy pkg in the other slip badly on the corner edge of the steps because he didn't know they were there. Thank goodness he didn't get hurt but i had a mini heart attack watching. Ever since then i have wondered how to prevent this (or worse) from happening again. The solar light on both sides of the steps seems like a good solution.
@megatuanis
2 жыл бұрын
Yes, because the eyes go to where the light is, making it more likely for people to see the step, instead of the light at the top of a pole, which I might miss completely. I might even group 3 lights at each end; that might look prettier (and safer in case one of the lights burns out). I'm glad your mail carrier was ok and not hurt!

And one for every step on your stairs. And for extra safety, don't forget one for the handrail.
After you're done with your pool noodle you can simply toss it in the woods or any nearby body of water...remember to share pool noodles with local wildlife
if people can't see the step, what makes you think they'll see the sign?....maybe at night but probably NOT
Very cute decorative idea that be adapted for other projects. Such as stair step solar lights on a spot in the yard. I liked it.
Seems you can just press the lights directly into the ground to the left and the right side of the sidewalk right next to the step and illuminate the step itself
Great idea! Now I just need to find a step so I can make one

I use PVC pipe to make my solar lights higher. I spray painted them black. Forget the noodles and cheap broom handles.
Well there’s a couple minutes I won’t get back
Why would you say to remove the ropes, then show using the ropes and twisting to put the sign on?
They have glow in the dark spray paint at lowes.
This would be fun during Christmas “Santa stop here” or a birthday party.
I was intrigued by the title of the video. This is a great way to sign my daughter's wedding path. I love it! Thank you
This was really cool. I'm not sure which was better, the lighted sign posts made from everyday objects or the video production. Both get thumbs up!👍
EXCELLENT IDEA Thank you for sharing this video.
I was searching for lightning rods, wondering how the heck a pool noodle and broom stick was going to work. Over three minutes later, realized this was a "lightING" hack, not a "lighNING" hack. Some of us are a little slower than others.
Yep, that scotch tape will last through a rain storm !
Awesome ideal , thank you.

Ive Tried pool noodle stuff b4, they crumble and start loosing chunks very quickly
How about a low solar light on either side of the step, close to the step. Just a thought.
This looks like a FAIL! The lights didn't illuminate the signs, so...much better to leave signs off and let the trip hazard be lit...that says it ALL! Lots less tacky looking!
