Some cool torches, close up added as requested
« on: August 05, 2008, 06:22:14 PM »
They are solar powered but do have batteries.  They last about a year.  Here they are at dusk with new batteries.  They do twinkle like real torches.
Got them at Costco

Very nice.  I always worry about the flame/heat from oil ones.  Those are a great alternative.

Very cool Jerry, and the pond looks FAB!

I bought some pretty cool Tiki Torches a couple of years ago that are metal with a nice glass design in the middle, luckily the tanks are plastic so they don't rust.

Wow, those are cool.   I don't think my costco has those.  I will check when I go tomorrow, already went twice today!  Hope I'm not the only costco addict here.

Jerry the pond looks fabulous!  Nice torches, but have you seen the solar changing color glass ball on a stake at Costco?  A set of 3 staked balls for about $19.  Cool!

Yes Greg I was just about to mention you bought them last year after seeing my post.
I will take a close up tomorrow afternoon, late.
If we had a lot of parties out there it would be a nice touch.
