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

<p>Many of us know someone that has been affected by this horrible disease. &nbsp;Even if you don't, I'm sure you'll still want to be able to give back. &nbsp;</p>
<p>With that in mind, YCA Shops has decided to provide the following coupon code:</p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: 150%;">PinkRibbon</span></strong></p>
<p>Use it for <strong>10% off</strong> of anything in the store. &nbsp;</p>
<p>A portion of the proceeds from this month's sales will be given as a contribution to the <a href="http://ww5.komen.org/default.aspx">Susan G. Komen for the Cure</a> foundation. &nbsp;</p>
<p>If you don't need a <a href="http://www.ycasolarlightstore.com/default.asp">solar light</a> or an <a href="http://www.ycafireplaces.com/Default.asp?Redirected=Y">electric fireplace</a>, just donate anyway. &nbsp;</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>

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

<p>We're very proud of the fact that our <a href="http://www.ycasolarlightstore.com/SunCast_Super_Bright_Security_Light_80_LED_p/40225-mx.htm">solar security light</a> is shining bright at <a href="http://www.bagram.afcent.af.mil/">Bagram Air Base</a> in Afghanistan.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.ycasolarlightstore.com/SunCast_Super_Bright_Security_Light_80_LED_p/40225-mx.htm">SunCast</a> is the brightest solar motion light on the market, period. &nbsp;How can a solar light be so bright? &nbsp;It's got 80 LED's (light emitting diodes). &nbsp;The fact that it's a motion activated light means it only stays lit for a minute at a time. &nbsp;If it were to run continuously, the light would fully deplete the battery in about 2 hours.</p>
<p>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. &nbsp;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!&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>Here's a video of our friend Skip West showing off the product (he's the manufacturer):</p>
