## Abstract

A solar powered navigational light including: a casing; at least one illuminated lenses on a front side of the casing; a battery compartment within the casing, where the battery compartment houses a rechargeable battery; and a solar panel array on a top side of the casing, where the solar panel array produces energy to charge the rechargeable battery. The solar panel array may function as a sensor to activate the illumination of the at least one illuminated lenses. In one particular embodiment, the illuminated lenses may emit a combination of red, green or white lights. The illuminated lenses may include a first lenses and a second lenses in combination.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A solar powered navigational light comprising:
a. a casing;
b. a first illuminated lens on a front side of the casing;
c. a second illuminated lens on a front side of the casing, where the second illuminated lens is adjacent and abuts the first illuminated lens;
d. a battery compartment within the casing, where the battery compartment houses a rechargeable battery; and
e. a solar panel array on a horizontal top side of the casing, where the solar panel array is arranged in two rows and produces energy to charge the rechargeable battery.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The solar powered navigational light according to claim 1, where the solar panel array functions as a sensor to activate the illumination of the first illuminated lens and the second illuminated lens.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The solar powered navigational light according to claim 1, where the first illuminated lens and the second illuminated lens emits a combination of a red, green or white lights.
