A solar powered lamp configured to function more efficiently at elevated temperatures. The solar powered lamp comprises an electrical storage device disposed in heat transfer proximity to a solar cell array. The electrical storage device is adapted to increase its acceptance of charge, provided by the solar cell array, at elevated temperatures. The solar powered lamp is also configured to permit flow of air through the lamp and to be assembled and disassembled with ease.

Self-contained solar powered lamp

A self-contained solar powered marking light. The marking light may be utilized to delineate certain predetermined boundaries without effectively illuminating the areas. The marking light automatically illuminates when output power from the photovoltaic cells contained therein fall below a predetermined level and automatically extinguishes when the voltage from the photovoltaic cells reaches a predetermined level. The marking light includes a lens which is closely coupled to a source of light and which includes a textured surface for diffusing the light to cause the lens to appear to glow when the source of light is illuminated. An electrical circuit is coupled between the photovoltaic cells and a battery and includes the source of light and switching means for automatically illuminating the light dependent upon the relative relationship between the voltage of the photovoltaic cells and the battery voltage.

Marking light

A lens for use in a stand alone lamp utilizing low wattage light bulbs. The lamp is powered through the utilization of photovoltaic cells which charge a battery which then provides power to the bulb in the absence of the sun. The lens is constructed of a hollow body having horizontally disposed ribs formed on the exterior surface thereof with a clear, unobstructed lower portion closing the bottom of the lens.
