This is a message that does not announce Halloween a stat holiday at Solarbotics - but enhances the Halloween spirit by bringing you a fancy porch or window decoration idea. We call it the   Pum-kin-Lantern! Here's an easy recipe: take the guts of Pum Lantern, place it in a mixing bowl with some pumpkins, add some spider tears and basilisk blood (replace with egg yolk if necessary), blend well and here you have it:

The solar cell attaches outside of the pumpkin and the Pum pcb is tucked into the lid with LEDs facing down to illuminate the Jack-o'-lantern face:

And after you are done with Halloween-ing - you can stick the electronics back into your Pum Lantern and keep using it normally.
