A solar-powered crosswalk warning system is disclosed. The crosswalk warning system comprises two or more crosswalk warning beacons, located on opposite sides of the road. Each beacon comprises a solar panel to recharge a battery, a battery back, a control unit to charge the battery pack during daylight hours, a communication unit to communicate to the second crosswalk beacon, a traffic signal lamp ton warn oncoming traffic, and a triggering means by which the pedestrian can activate the beacons.

A solar-powered light assembly is sealed and has a battery integral therewith, thus does not require servicing and is not prone to vandalism. The light assembly comprises at least one light-emitting diode (LED) powered by a rechargeable battery integral with the assembly. A solar panel on the assembly recharges the battery, and power management circuitry activates the LED at low ambient light intensities to prevent excessive changing of the battery and to prevent excessive discharge of the battery when it is low.
