I kekahi mau makahiki i hala aku nei, i ka wā ʻōpiopio o kaʻu mau keiki, ua hoʻāʻo wau e kau i nā kukui Kalikimaka ma luna o ka lāʻau, akā ʻaʻohe o lākou i ʻā. Inā ua kaula ʻoe i nā kukui Kalikimaka a i ʻole i hoʻopili ʻia i kahi lāʻau i hoʻomālamalama mua ʻia, a laila aia ʻoe ma laila. ʻO kēlā me kēia hihia, ua kapa ʻia kēlā Kalikimaka i loko o ko mākou ʻohana ʻo Kalikimaka a ua ʻōlelo ʻo Pāpā i kahi mea ʻino.
Hiki i ka puʻupuʻu haʻihaʻi ke pale i ka ʻā a pau o nā kukui, no ka mea, e hāʻawi ana kēlā me kēia puʻupuʻu i ka mana i ka puʻupuʻu e hiki mai ana ma ke kaula. Ke pilikia nā ʻōpuʻu, maʻamau ka haki ʻana o ka ʻōpuʻu, a pono ʻoe e hoʻololi i kēlā me kēia ʻōpuʻu me kahi puʻupuʻu āu i ʻike ai, a hiki i ka wā e hālāwai ai ʻoe me kahi puʻupuʻu haki a ʻā lākou a pau.
I nā makahiki, ʻaʻole ʻoe i hana i kēia, akā pono ʻoe e hoʻolei i ka laina holoʻokoʻa a holo i ka hale kūʻai e kūʻai i nā kukui Kalikimaka hou aʻe.
Ua haku ʻia kahi hāmeʻa hou i kapa ʻia ʻo Light Keeper Pro e hoʻoponopono i nā kukui, a ʻaʻohe mea i ʻōlelo ʻino ma hope o hoʻokahi hola a ʻelua paha.
E like me kēia: ke hoʻopili ʻoe i kahi kaula kukui a ʻaʻohe mea e ʻā ana, hiki iā ʻoe ke wehe i kahi ʻōpuʻu kukui me kahi mea hana lima i kūkulu ʻia i loko o ka hāmeʻa, ʻo ia hoʻi he pu plastik. A laila, wehe i ke kumu ʻole a hoʻokuʻu iā ia i loko o ke kumu i ka hāmeʻa Light Keeper Pro.
A laila, e huki ʻoe i ke kumu ma ka hāmeʻa 7-20 mau manawa. E hoʻouna aku ʻo Light Keeper Pro i kahi kukui o kēia manawa a i ʻole pulsed ma o ka laina holoʻokoʻa, ʻoiai ma ke kumu me ka ʻōpuʻu kukui haki, i ʻā lākou a pau. Koe wale no kahi ʻōpuʻu kukui maikaʻi ʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i kēia manawa.
Pono e hana kēia, akā inā ʻaʻole, loaʻa iā Light Keeper Pro kahi hōʻike uila uila. Me ka hoʻohana ʻana i ke kī a i ʻole ke pihi ʻē aʻe ma ka gadget, e hoʻopaʻa iā ia i lalo ma ke kaula a ʻaʻole kani kekahi kumu. A laila, ua ʻike ʻoe i ke kumu ʻino kahi i kū ai ka uila. E hoʻololi i kēlā puʻupuʻu a pono nā mea a pau e hana maʻamau.
No laila, hana maikaʻi ʻo Light Keeper Pro. Ua kamaʻilio wau me kekahi mau hoaaloha a hoʻohana maikaʻi lākou i kēlā me kēia makahiki.
Loaʻa i ka pūnaewele Light Keeper Pro nā kuhikuhi a me kekahi mau wikiō e hōʻike ana i ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka huahana.
Ke hana nei, akā ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole maʻalahi e like me ka mea i ʻike ʻia ma ka wikiō, a ua haʻi mua koʻu hoaaloha iaʻu e koi i kekahi hana.
Ua lawe au i kekahi mau kaula ʻaʻole ʻulaʻula loa a me kekahi kaula i hana hapa wale. I kēia manawa, ua kahiko loa kēia mau kaula, a ʻaʻole hiki iaʻu ke ʻōlelo me ka maopopo ua hana lākou no nā makahiki he nui. Aia paha kekahi mau puʻupuʻu haki a i ʻole kekahi mea i ʻai ʻia ma nā uwea (ʻoiai ua nānā au a ʻaʻole ʻike i kekahi mea).
No ka hoʻomaopopo maikaʻi ʻana i ka pono o ka hāmeʻa, hele au i ka hale kūʻai e kūʻai i pahu kukui hou ma kahi o $3, a hoʻopaʻa ʻia i kahi kumu mana e hōʻoia i ke kau ʻana o nā ʻōpuʻu a pau. Lawe au i ka ʻōpuʻu kukui kahiko a hoʻopōloli i ka ʻōpuʻu a i ʻole ka uwea i komo i loko o ke kumu no ka loaʻa ʻana o ka mana a hāʻawi aku i ke kukui aʻe. Hoʻokahi manawa aʻu i hoʻokomo ai i ka puʻupuʻu haki i loko o ka puʻupuʻu maikaʻi a hoʻāʻo e hoʻohana i ka Light Keeper Pro.
Ua hoʻā ka gadget i nā kukui a pau, a ʻeleʻele ka puʻupuʻu haki. E like me ka ʻōlelo aʻo, ua hoʻololi au i ka puʻupuʻu haʻihaʻi me kahi puʻupuʻu maikaʻi, a ua hoʻā kēlā me kēia puʻupuʻu ma ke kaula.
Inā ʻaʻole pono kēia no kāu kaula māmā, loaʻa iā Light Keeper Pro kahi hōʻike uila e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke holo i ka pū ma ke kaula māmā. E piʻi ana kahi ʻōpuʻu kukui maikaʻi. Ke hālāwai ʻoe i kahi ʻōpuʻu kukui ʻaʻole kani, e ʻike ʻoe he kumu ia e pale ai i ke koena o ke kaapuni mai ka hoʻoikaika ʻana e hoʻopau i ke kaapuni.
Pono wau e ʻōlelo ʻaʻole maʻalahi e like me ka mea i hōʻike ʻia ma ka wikiō. E like me kaʻu mau hoaaloha nāna i hoʻohana ia mea i ʻōlelo mai iaʻu, ʻo ka hoʻopili ʻana i ke kumu puʻupuʻu i Light Keeper Pro e hoʻomālamalama i ke kaula holoʻokoʻa o nā kukui e pono ai kekahi hana. Pela no au.
Hoʻohana wale ʻia ʻo Light Keeper Pro me nā kukui incandescent mini maʻamau. No nā kaula kukui LED, pono ʻoe i ka mana LED o Light Keeper Pro.
Ua ʻike au ʻo Light Keeper Pro a me ka hapa nui o nā mea kūʻai aku e kūʻai aku i nā kukui Kalikimaka, me Walmart, Target a me Home Depot, kūʻai aku no kahi $20.
