Solar light
Also called: interior light, motion light
A solar light is a small motion-activated LED fixture mounted inside or on a portable toilet, charged by a panel on the roof, used for events that run after dark and for sites without power. Lighting is often required by permit for night events.
Lights are usually an add-on per unit. For clusters at events, planners also light the path to the units and the area in front of the doors, which the unit light does not do.
