]]>Facebook sharing solution?http://www.ycashops.com/blog/2009/11/10/facebook-sharing-solution.htmlKevin R. LeCavalier2009-11-10T16:56:31ZI'm trying to create a situation where, when you buy something, you can tell your friends on Facebook!

Below is my testing. 

Please tell your friends about your recent purchase!]]>We finally made a videohttp://www.ycashops.com/blog/2009/10/30/we-finally-made-a-video.htmlKevin R. LeCavalier2009-10-30T12:55:41ZFor months now, I have been telling my brothers I wanted to make a video highlighting one of our best products.  In fact, I even said I'd quit if we didn't.  Now, I don't know if I would have gone that far, but...

I'm really not quite sure why it took so long to get this up.  All we really needed was a charged solar spot light and my flip camera. 

Enjoy!

]]>Giving Backhttp://www.ycashops.com/blog/2009/10/21/giving-back.htmlKevin R. LeCavalier2009-10-21T14:23:04ZAs many of you know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Many of us know someone that has been affected by this horrible disease.  Even if you don't, I'm sure you'll still want to be able to give back.  

With that in mind, YCA Shops has decided to provide the following coupon code:

PinkRibbon

Use it for 10% off of anything in the store.  

A portion of the proceeds from this month's sales will be given as a contribution to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation.  

If you don't need a solar light or an electric fireplace, just donate anyway.  

Thanks,

Assaf

The picture above is our brightest solar spot light illuminating a 20 foot flag pole. 

To clarify, this picture was taken by one of our very satisfied customers without a flash.  To see how he has it set up (the solar panel tied to the pole), here is a picture with the flash:

We're very proud of the fact that our solar security light is shining bright at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan.

The SunCast is the brightest solar motion light on the market, period.  How can a solar light be so bright?  It's got 80 LED's (light emitting diodes).  The fact that it's a motion activated light means it only stays lit for a minute at a time.  If it were to run continuously, the light would fully deplete the battery in about 2 hours.

Another benefit to the motion activation is that since it only lights up a handful of times each night, it takes a number of days to fully deplete the battery.  Therefore, if you've got a few days in a row of cloudy, rainy days...you've still got juice in your solar security light!  

Here's a video of our friend Skip West showing off the product (he's the manufacturer):

If you've got any questions at all, don't hesitate to call us at 1-888-422-0882, email us at ycaonline-at-gmail.com, or ask us on twitter.
