Default light question ... yard solar for anchor light

I just did a google search for solar anchor lights .. there are a bunch of
them.

I think one was around $50.

Not bad, it isn't all that big a light so it could be hung up somewhere
during the day and then hoisted up the mast at night.

If you could use some super bright white LED's, it would help to save

mile visibility.


They do exist for anchor lights, and I believe at least one has been
certified. Still too expensive for me, but the prices will come down.

Just saw a 30 LED flashlight for $10. I paid about that much a couple of
years ago for 3 LED flashes that we use all the time.
