This is actually a pretty clever idea...

...except that sealing it would be a problem, and UV degradation on those plastic bottles would be a real bitch. I give it a year. Still, as a concept it rivals "light tunnel" illuminators I've seen, and they work great. Might try it on the pantry shed.

    How about using one [or more] of those clear glass gallon jugs to avoid the solar degradation?
    I think they still sell apple juice [and such] in them.

    NOTE: Because of the weight of the gallon of water [8+ pounds] I would recommend making a support "cage" of old metal coat hangers to help support the "solar light fixture" and reduce strain on the sealant around same.

    Post photos?

    stay safe,
