Dog Proof Light Stake Adapter

*NOTE: Warning - failed. Revamping soon*

Adapts the your solar powered path lights to 1/2" rebar.

I have two large Labs. Every time they come running around the house they take out a couple of the path lights along our walkway. It is therefore rare that any of our light are vertical. I tried affixing a solid deeper stake under them but then instead of knocking them over or leaving them at an angle, they broke or bent them in half.

This solves the issue by being able to take a blow and then return to the original position. I sank 2 feet of 1/2 rebar into the ground for a really sturdy base to connect the adapter to.

I have only put two out in heavy traffic areas. I'll update this after a few weeks in operation.
