  • Patent number: 9420661
    Abstract: According to one aspect of the present disclosure, an outdoor lighting fixture, including a solar panel, light source, rechargeable battery, and control circuit enclosed within a reversibly sealed housing, further includes a magnetic switch in communication with the control circuit. The switch enables an operator to adjust the settings and functions of the fixture without opening the housing, which would expose the control circuit, battery, light source, and other electrical components to the environment. In certain embodiments, the light source is one or more light emitting diodes powered by the solar panel via the battery and control circuit.
