Lighting Unit

摘要

A lighting unit is provided that has a housing with a lighting portion and a solar panel portion. Solar panels are mounted on the solar panel portion and the energy gathered by the solar panels is stored in a rechargeable battery. The lighting portion has a conical shaped wall that meets with a circular shaped wall. Each of the conical shaped wall and circular shaped wall defines light recesses defined by light recess walls, and an LED is disposed in each recess. The LEDs are powered by the rechargeable battery and are capable of illuminating a flag whether or not there is a breeze or wind. The circular shaped wall defines a wall opening and the solar panel portion has pole extension that is fitted in the wall opening. A flagpole extends through the pole extension and the lighting unit is mounted on the flagpole
