I never heard of this one before:

Clear bottles of water installed thru roof make great indoor lighting.

Low tech and limited to certain roof configurations, but works well.

One drawback; doesnt work at night. Doh !
But works great in daylight hours were lights are needed indoors.

now isn't that clever

I always considered making a mud or cobb house for temporary housing but gave up on internal lighting for the most part, other than "powered" lighting that is

this is a great addition to my concept of makeshift homes

kewel!

Swami, some wont upload from other sites, like Hoaglands, just save it to your desk top and then up load to your profile albums and link from there, , :)

This lighting method is like what we boaters call "deck prisms".
