Help! I bought these Grote vintage emergency lights solely for the box. I’d love to reuse the lights but haven’t a clue.

Maybe using them attached to a hummingbird feeder. They could be added to a center piece, turned into Christmas decorations, just a lot of different things.

July 26, 2018 at 9:41 pmWell this is a hard one for sure! 1. I’m thinking make an old fashioned wooden stop light and attach them as the red lights, add some green and yellow to make a full stoplight. 2. Put them on a stick and use them for driveway signs for someone on a country road. 3.Box them back up, sell them and start over again.☺️

July 26, 2018 at 6:56 pmOooo, they’re cool. I see the bases of table lamps for a man cave, they’d reflect the light around. If you wanted to take them out of their housings, they make great pieces in mosaics.
