With light provided by a solar garden lamp, this illuminated house number makes sure food deliveries never get lost.
The project
We had had enough of food deliveries not finding us so we decided to do this solar-powered house number.
We used a Dremel to cut numbers in a PVC pipe. We had eye protection – didn't want broken pieces or blades going in our eyes.
The numbers are about 8cm tall so they can be visible. I looked at a template online then reproduced it on the pipe with a pencil and a marker prior to cutting.
We sanded the edges and painted the pipe with a spray can. We used a plastic primer first. Can't remember which one.
We removed the top of a solar-powered garden light that just fitted the top of the pipe. From memory we used a 90mm PVC pipe with most likely a Click Galaxy LED Solar Light.
Originally we were going to cement the base but it didn't turn out great so a pot and a plant did the trick.
Now our house number is easily spotted at night for food delivery or in case of emergency.
