It’s got your number
The sleekly styled, stainless-steel Solaris mailbox by Chiasso soaks up sunlight by day, then uses that solar energy to illuminate house numbers by night. The bold, easy-to-read numerals are automatically backlighted starting at sundown, for as long as eight hours. There’s also an on-off switch for those who want to keep would-be visitors in the dark. House numbers, brass fittings and mounting hardware are included with the mailbox ($198), which is 12 inches wide, about 16 inches tall and 4 1/2 inches deep. (877) 244-2776, www.chiasso.com.
