Lots of people don't put up house numbers, which is a pain for delivery drivers. It can even be hard to spot in the clear daytime, no less at night while its raining.
So, what I propose is to sell Backlit House Numbers. No explaining really needed... except that they would come in a variety
of colors, of course... you could get hot pink for a college girl's dorm, blue for those who want something different, or, plain white for you boring folk.
(??) Solar House Numbers

Around here (Northwest Michigan) we have required standardized police/fire department house numbers that go out by the road. These are reflective. Not needing to use elecricity has obvious advantages. At this residence we would need to run about 400 feet of wire to have such an electronically lit house number out by the road. |

They could be solar collective in daylight hours. They also already exist. I couldn't find a picture of them [ghillie] but if you type your idea title into a search engine there are many references. |

[jurist]: That wasn't really the kind of backlighting I was going for... I was thinking that each number would glow individually, and would be hooked up to a main unit. |
