The sun will probably will have no effect but that does mean that the
pattern is Lambertian. Most of the light will be projected upward. You
might look for a couple of LEDs with a batwing pattern to change them out
with. They project more light to the sides.

The new MOB pole I built has two LED's that point straight up. They have a
magnifying lens in each end to make a beam.

Question: Is the sun shining down on these LED's going to cook and destroy
the element that makes the light?

I hope I don't have to add little hats or umbrellas to my MOB pole?
