Claim 0:
1. An off-grid location lighting fixture comprising:
a base;
a pole mounted to the base through a first rim in the base at a bottom end portion thereof such that the pole is pivotally movable about the first pin between a first position with the pole being oriented substantially horizontal and a second position with the pole being oriented substantially vertical;
wherein the pole is secured in the second position by a second pin in the base at a top end portion thereof, the second pin being removable such that the pole is movable from the second position to the first position;
a solar panel, the solar panel being mounted to the pole at a top end portion thereof;
an LED light, the LED light being mounted to the pole and adapted to illuminate an area on ground adjacent to the lighting fixture in a direction of the pivotal axis;
a battery connected to the solar panel and the LED light, the battery configured to store electrical energy received from the solar panel and provide the same to the LED light;
control circuitry connected to the solar panel, the LED light, and the battery, the control circuitry configured to control storage of the electrical energy and provision of the same to the LED light;
a wireless network module electronically connected to the battery and the control circuitry; and
a sensor electrically connected to the battery and the control circuitry;
wherein the sensor is configured to operably couple to a railroad switch and send up electrical signal to the control circuitry indicating switch indications;
wherein the control circuitry is configured to communicate the switch indications to the wireless network machine; and
wherein the wireless network module is configured to communicate wirelessly the switch indications to a control system.
