Default light question ... yard solar for anchor light

I saw this somewhere .. go get a yard solar light, Lowes/Home Depot ... the
kind you put along the walk way.

I guess I can leave one out ,, it will power up ,,, use it at the mooring
..

Any thought on yard solar lights for sailboats?



I like the idea, and have heard it mentioned before. But I don't remember if
they can be seen from sufficient distance.



I have considered this, and I have seen it. The idea isn't that this
should replace the anchor light (on my boat, at the top of a 65' mast),
but rather augment it, at deck level where it should be more visible
close up...
