    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!
