Lighting

This is another in the series of going off the grid.

The point of this post is that to do much work in the summer may require a lot of night work.  It is simply too hot to work outside at this time of the year.

That would especially be true out in West Texas, where I am considering some land to purchase.  There's very little shade out there because there are very few trees.  There are a lot of trees in Houston, but West Texas in nearly a desert.  To work out there in the middle of the day is a non-starter.

Since there won't be much work going on during the hot day, perhaps it would be good to try working at night?  For that, you need some lights.  Lights require energy, and they would require some installation.  Perhaps this is a bit of a catch-22 situation.  You have to work during the day installing the lights so that you can work at night.

Never mind.  This may not be as big a problem as it seems.  Or, at least I hope not.
