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?



If you already have a satisfactory, working anchor light, then I assume
you are trying to avoid its drain on your battery each night.

If so, leave the working anchor light in place and invest instead in a
small solar charger. Depending on its size and your anchor light's
wattage, you may be able to restore more energy than was consumed during
the night.

If you wish only to illuminate the deck, rather than power an anchor
light, choose an appropriate lamp (even one with a photoelectric sensor
if you wish) and add a solar charger as above.
