Electricity Options 
 at The Nahiku Treehouse

 There are a few options for lighting at The Nahiku Treehouse:
 (none of which come with a guarantee)

The first is a supplied Radio Shack 140 watt 12v to 110v power inverter that can be plugged into the cigarette lighter of your 4wd vehicle. (Without a 4wd vehicle, you cannot get close enough to the treehouse to use the power inverter).  This will supply enough electricity to run the boom box, and supply a small amount of light. There are some Christmas lights strung throughout the treehouse that can be plugged in for a small amount of lighting for a short period of time. You need to have a 20 amp cigarette lighter (most are) to use all 140 watts.  With this you may get one or two hours of electricity depending on the size of your car battery. The inverter has a low-battery shut-off feature that will make a beeping noise a few seconds before it turns off the power. (This is to ensure that you do not completely drain your car-battery.) At that point you must start your car and recharge your battery.  (Tip: You may wish to bring a spare (or two) 20 amp 'pancake' auto fuse with you.)

Electricity option two. There are two battery operated lanterns at the treehouse. One is in the bathroom, and, one is on the table in the living area.   These each require 4 D-Cell batteries to operate. The boom box (CD/Tape player - sorry no reliable radio stations found thus far, however, it does play CD's and Tapes) requires 6 c-cell batteries to operate. Batteries are on a B.Y.O.Batteries basis. These lanterns and radios are supplied on a best efforts basis meaning we check them before you check in, however, they may break while you are there.  It is advisable to bring your own backup flashlights or lanterns.

There are five solar powered night lights that can be used indoors or out. Provided they get a full charge during the day, they will provide a small amount of light in and about the treehouse and deck at night.

Save the best for last option. You might feel that you've come this far to get away from it all, and that candles and tiki torches are enough.  That's fine,  however, a small flashlight would still be advisable for getting up and down the stairs at night.
