I have one something like that. I used a peanut butter jar, instead of the mason jar, and put a wire around it so I could hang it. I put one of those bo-peep hooks outside the outhouse, and hung the jar on it. When someone goes into the outhouse, they take the lamp with them for light. It stays charged all the time.

The only adventure I ever had with one was stepping on a snake on the way out and being scared silly that it was still there when I had to go back to the house. I was always afraid of spiders and falling in. We didnt have an indoor bathroom until I was 12.

Peggy, I was afraid of falling in, too, so I put a regular toilet seat on mine. I figure, I haven't fallen in the toilet since I was about 5, so I'd be safe.
We don't use the outhouse at night. I made the solar light for during the day. I didn't put a window in it because of it being between two hills (people could see inside from the hill)
