I need a recommendation for an indicator light (maybe mailorder?) for
my mailbox.
Here's the situation.
* It's a custom mailbox, basically a door cemented in a pillar of
concrete * It just has a square metal door with a brass inside latch
(all metal) * It's higher than my eyes in the car window by about a
foot * So I have to reach inside to see if anything is in there
* It doesn't even have one of those little red (manual) flags
* There isn't 120v lighting but landscape lighting is only a foot
away
I wonder if technology can help me?
It would be nice if there was a way to mount an external LED such
that an internal light sensor activates it to indicate mail in the
mailbox.
Any pointers?
Discription below each picture. I have posted the how to before but
these pictures should help.
