Patent ID: 7784992

Claim:
An apparatus for a solar window nightlight, the apparatus comprising: a circuit housing; at least one battery contained within said circuit housing; a plurality of solar panels disposed on an outside surface of said circuit housing for charging said at least one battery; a plurality of LED lights; control circuitry connecting said at least one battery, said solar panels and said plurality of LED lights to control operations of said LED lights and charging of said at least one battery; a photocell operative to detect ambient light, said photocell being connected to said control circuitry where when ambient light falls below a predetermined level, said control circuitry activates said plurality of LED lights; a plurality of translucent lenses each comprising a generally wedge shape, a bore hole in a base of said wedge shape for receiving a one of said plurality of LED lights and reflective material on outside edges of said wedge shape to direct and contain light; a plurality of suction cups joined to at least said circuit housing for retaining the apparatus on a window surface where, during day light hours, there is sufficient ambient light to charge said at least one battery and said plurality of translucent lenses capture and reflect sunlight, and, during night hours, said translucent lenses illuminate a desired area; and a flexible conduit for joining said plurality of translucent lenses to said circuit housing where wires from said control circuitry to said plurality of LED lights pass through.
