Warning: Complete answer required :)
-
A space shuttle for mice...!
-
A cheese grater
A generator
An electric heater that blows out warm air
-
key ring
-
Keep trying............
A space shuttle for mice.... really Babs? ...... lol
-
Are we seeing this full size or has it been magnified?
-
Is it bigger than a car or smaller than a pillow?
-
This is pretty much the size, could be a bit bigger.
These come in all shapes and sizes.
This variety is not standard though and there is none in Wairoa.
and no Babs, you cant eat it :)
-
Does it have anything to do with water????
-
What! not even a nibble?
A personal heater?
A ice cream maker
Would I find one in Wellington?
Not a teeny weeny MP?
-
A lint collector/remover?
A grater?
An iron?
A humidifer?
-
Some interesting guesses but none close.
Dont know if in Wellington. Dont know if used in NZ. I presume so though.
You would find this outside.
-
Ohh. Thats nasty JL. I couldn't resist and cheated so I'm not saying anything!
-
A sprinkler
-
A water purifier in a goldfish pond or something to do with fish ponds just to cover every angle.
-
Ohhhhh a goldfish hotel
-
is it one of those boats you got to see sea life for those in wheelchairs
-
Can we have a hint?? The holes, are they to expel air???
-
Right we are all heading to gabba's house to sit on him till he tells us what it is!
-
This is a hard one to give clues on without actually giving it away.
The holes would be more for ventilation.
I have checked and these are used in New Zealand.
If this was used there would be many of them in the same area.
You would not view these up close, only from a distance.
-
Hmmmm this is hurting what is left of my brain.
I still think sitting on gabba is the best idea.
Something to do with a post box
-
Haha - you are more than welcome to come and visit, but we do have chairs that are used for sitting purposes.
Oh, and I'm not telling, but it is fun following the guesses. I can see why Jenny does this!
-
is it a thingy you put up you nostril to clear the airways
-
Might be a bit big for that Martin :)
-
I guess it depends on the size of ones nose, but should you attempt it, it would definitely clear ones airways :P
-
Wairoa.
Flash tunnel houses or secret squirrel stuff, places to spy on us and maybe hack our passwords!!!!
-
You have been watching too much TV I think Valerie...lol
-
Is it a part of thunder birds that flying thingy but squirrels could escape in there
-
A bird feeder
-
A posh mouse for the computer??
A fire alarm??
Protection against burglars,????????????????????
-
These are the clues you have so far:
You would find this outside.
You cant eat it.
These come in all shapes and sizes.
You would not view these up close, only from a distance.
These are used in New Zealand.
Next clue and this should give it to you:
These would be used at night :)
-
Cat eyes, indicators on the road
Houses for moths
That's me done, my brain is fused, you did great this time Jenny
-
Same here
-
Driveway markers that light up to show the way
-
The fact they are all shapes and sizes makes it seem more difficult. I am thinking sensor lights as well, then maybe they are not lights at all but alarms of some sort. Bum, this is just like doing a crossword, I hate to be beaten.
-
Ok now you are on the right track :) :) :)
Stay on that track and keep guessing. As I warned up top, I want exactly what they are :)
-
I think it is a pest trapping device for rats and mice and ferrets etc as used by DOC in the forest. I think they have a motion sensor to trigger a count or notify management through wireless connection. Sorry - this is just a guess I have not done any specific research so I am not cheating...
I think with the breathing holes, they are trying to keep something alive so it may be more for capturing live species for inspections, tagging and releasing. Perhaps a trapdoor is engaged to keep them inside.

-
Parking sensors (from he who must be obeyed)
Reversing lights on a car
Fairy dust sprinklers
-
Does it have electronics inside?
-
Yes Intrepid ( I think so )
Go back to your post before and then to Valerie's post.
Bounce off those.
Both those are close.
-
Do they do something when you or a car, get close to them?
-
A motion sensor for detecting possums or other creatures
-
Would you find them at an airport??? Down the runway maybe??? Used for checking if anyone is carrying a gun??
-
Burglar alarm
-
The "man" has put in his two pennyworth, does it float says he. Good question I thought.
-
Does it need batteries?
Does it work in the rain?
-
does it float?
- Would not be placed in water but probably.
Babs is going in the right direction, follow her lead Valerie.
Yes to both Babs...... You are getting there :)
-
A rain measuring sensor
-
Do they do something when you or a car, get close to them?
No
Would you find them at an airport??? Down the runway maybe???
Yes could do.
Now go back to Reply 33 and 34......... these are still the closest.
Nothing to do with weather equipment, burglar alarms or detecting anything. Especially not guns :)
-
Right I am at the airport and walking through the arch. Would they be inside and ring loudly when detecting metal??? Inside the conveyor belt where your bags etc are checked??? The runway lights have been mentioned so it cannot be them. I refuse to give up.
-
The runway lights have been mentioned so it cannot be them.
Correct but this is more along the right path as so to speak.....

Look at those 3 quoted, find the common factor.
-
Are they for hallway safety exit lights?
I assume they are upside down, and the blue bit is actually a lamp.
So that makes me think they are a means of lighting halls or passages.
Or if they are right way up, then there could be a light/lamp fitting facing the other direction, like catseyes in the road...

Flashing warning lights on the wing tip of planes

All but there Toko.
No to hallway safety exit lights.
No it is not up side down. This is the correct position.
Not cats eyes..... but keep going along this path:

This is hard to me to really give you clues with you guys being so close to the answer.
As I said, I want the exact answer so keep guessing.
-
Taxiway guide lights to guide planes off the runway?
-
What about the gizmo that opens gates when you drive past or have I gone off the track???
-
The do-hinky you swipe your credit card with getting out of the airport car parks
-
You are not guessing this mainly as you are not reading the clues. Lets make it easier...........
To repeat reply 50.

What word appears in all three lines?
Forget the airport. They would be used at an airport but this is leading you away from the correct answer.
Now taking the clue above and add reply 30, they would be used at night.
and next clue is they would not be on the ground.
Now go outside and look around but put your jacket on, its cold out there...lol
-
Ok each clue JL has hinted at has light mentioned in it. Not ground mounted lights like runway lights, not hallway lamps mounted vertical on a wall, no lighting at either the other end or the blue end, then one has to presume that the light is at the bottom - where we can't see. Now that makes a bit of sense since there are heat venting holes in the top.
So if the light is facing down, then these must be mounted up high. - She said they were not close to us. New technology may indicate LED lamps as these are very compact and efficient (low current draw for high brightness, and low heat loss due to efficiency too). Hence the use of plastic as well and general small size. Hence used for driveway lights up a pole or something... hmmm miles away from my first thought of trapping animals LOL!

Ahhhhhh, no still don't know what it is, I concede defeat
-
I went outside and looked up, stars in the sky, street lights, the policeman over the fence has sensor lights to scare away burglars, the neighbour on the other side has an outdoor light that is always on. Are we all thick or have you been pretty sneaky like Gabba said. I can see you sitting there have a good old laugh.

The answer is there Valerie, you have it ........... now which one is it :)
-
Dont forget the squirrels ;)
-
I'm thinking its a street light. Space shuttle for mice was my favorite, but its clearly unlike any star I have ever seen, sensor light has been said, an outside light always on... i dont think so, so a Street light, the little aerial thingy must trigger it, its outside, many of them together like LED's, to make one, light underneath.
-
Okay, I am going to go for a infra red sensor for light control.
-
Sneaky, I reckon!
-
Ok close enough Peter :)
It is a Solar Street Light.
Easy huh :)

I have never seen one of those
-
that is really sneaky, have to say I have never seen one.
-
You probably have but have never noticed :)

Nah we have wood pigeons sitting on our street lights or the occasional shoe hanging off them. Looks like I am going to have to take more notice of outdoor things when we are out in the car instead of playing on my phone or texting..
-
So I was close on post #58 ... Hence used for driveway lights up a pole or something... LOL!
-

Yes you were close but Valerie was closer hence I bounced off her Reply No 60.

well there you go then squirrels can clime up to it :) ;) :D
