The Porta Hedge contributed briefly to the holiday cheer in the Oak Grove at Indiana University of Pennsylvania as students prepared for finals and the holiday break. IUP grad student Bifei Cao helped decorate the Hedge with LED Christmas lights and we successfully field tested the Porta Hedge solar system’s capabilities to power Christmas lights in addition to its internal power demands. For a quick look at the benefits of using LED lights, see Gizmodo’s review The Pros and Cons of LED Christmas Lights or the Washington Daily Globe’s LED Christmas: Lights offer holiday glow, energy savings.

Many thanks to Kyle Houser, the gallery director at IUP who brought the Porta Hedge to campus!
