ABSTRACT:
The present solar light assembly uses a unique solar light box that has an upper step which visually frames a lower step. The lower step has a deep cavity that houses most of the components of the solar light assembly, such as an LED light source and a 12 volt battery. The lower step is completely covered by a solar panel which functions as a lid in addition to gathering energy that is stored in the battery. The upper step conceals the solar panel from view by a passerby. There is a rain barrier ridge substantially around an opening to the lower step's deep cavity to prevent water that may collect in the upper step from entering the deep cavity. The solar light box is large enough to house additional components, such as a motion sensor or a camera. In the preferred use of the solar light assembly, the solar light box is mounted to a pole that extends over the top of a cluster box unit.
