There are many different freight carriers out there, so shopping around is always a good idea.  For the best international rates, check USPS, they are typically about half the cost of UPS or Fed Ex.  And always watch out for the overnight charges, they are out of this world!

Almost all solar barricade lights go from ‘steady burn’ to ‘flash’ to ‘off’ each time you click the hole.  Another issue can be the amount of time in the sun (if it doesn’t turn on).  If it has been stored for awhile try giving it at least one full day of good sunlight before you figure it is broken.

Red solar barricade lights are most common in airport construction sites.  Not all red solar barricade lights are FAA approved so it’s important to look into that.  Blue solar barricade lights are by far the least common, they are almost impossible to find.

Well, to answer some of these questions, they typically have more LEDs.  This means they are more efficient with the power they use and they are typically brighter.  They also typically last 3+ years without changing the battery, where a battery powered barricade light takes around 2 months to run out of batteries.
