## Abstract

A light connector capable of connecting to a solar light and a light assembly that includes a light connector connected to a solar light or solar jar light, wherein the light assembly is capable of attaching to any structure that has a modifiable roof, such as an outdoor portable toilet. The light connector includes a main body having attachments and attachment receivers, a main support body having a lower support with a recess, and a grooved upper portion for engaging a solar light or solar jar light.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A light connector comprising:
a square translucent main body having a light focus and at least one attachment receiver capable of receiving an attachment;
a circular main support body situated above the square translucent main body and having a grooved upper portion on the outside of circular main support body capable of engaging a jar or lid; and,
a lower support, wherein the lower support has at least one recess.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The light connector of claim 1, wherein the light focus is circular in shape and is elevated at the periphery sloping down towards the center and is located at the center of the square translucent main body.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The light connector of claim 1, wherein lower support is convex curved from top to bottom.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The light connector of claim 1, wherein grooved upper portion has a lip at the bottom capable of preventing a jar from being overtightened.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The light connector of claim 1, wherein square translucent main body has four attachment receivers capable of receiving attachments.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The light connector of claim 5, wherein the four attachment receivers are located at each corner of square translucent main body and are further configured as posts or columns having a hollow recess capable of receiving attachments.

### Claim 7

A light connector comprising:
a main body having at least one attachment receiver capable of receiving an attachment and; and
a circular main support body situated above the main body and having a grooved upper portion on the outside of circular main support body and a lower support, wherein the lower support has at least one recess.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The light connector of claim 7, wherein main body also includes a light focus.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The light connector of claim 8, wherein the light focus is circular in shape and is elevated at the periphery sloping down towards the center and is located at the center of the main body.

### Claim 10 (depends on 7)

The light connector of claim 7, wherein the main body is square and translucent.

### Claim 11

A solar light assembly comprising:
a translucent main body having a light focus and at least one attachment receiver capable of receiving an attachment;
a circular main support body situated above the main body and having a grooved upper portion on the outside of circular main support body and a lower support, wherein the lower support has at least one recess;
a solar light including a solar panel support having a solar panel positioned above a housing containing electronics, a light, and an interior grooved portion at the bottom interior of the housing; and
wherein interior grooved portion is engaged with grooved upper portion of the circular main support body.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The solar light assembly of claim 11, wherein the translucent main body is square.

### Claim 13 (depends on 11)

The solar light assembly of claim 11, wherein the light focus is circular in shape and is elevated at the periphery slowing down towards the center and is located at the center of the translucent main body.

### Claim 14 (depends on 11)

The solar light assembly of claim 11, wherein the lower support is convex curved from top to bottom.

### Claim 15 (depends on 11)

The solar light assembly of claim 11, wherein grooved upper portion has a lip at the bottom capable of preventing the interior grooved portion at the bottom interior of the housing from being overtightened.

### Claim 16 (depends on 11)

The solar light assembly of claim 11, wherein the housing has a recess capable of allowing water to flow through.

### Claim 17 (depends on 11)

The solar light assembly of claim 11, wherein the housing is configured with a bottom portion that has the same diameter from top to bottom, a tapered portion in the middle that tapers to an upper portion, and an upper portion that has the same diameter from top to bottom.

### Claim 18 (depends on 11)

The solar light assembly of claim 11, wherein the solar panel support is square at the top and transitions into a circular shape at the bottom.

### Claim 19 (depends on 17)

The solar light assembly of claim 17, wherein the solar panel support friction fits to the housing.

### Claim 20 (depends on 18)

The solar light assembly of claim 18, wherein the solar panel support friction fits to the housing.
