An apparatus includes a classification of shaded area and a light unit being configured for illumination. A solar panel is configured for at least providing an energy output during exposure of shade being classified by the classification of shaded area. A rechargeable storage device is configured for storing at least a portion of the energy output as stored energy. The stored energy recharges the rechargeable storage device. A safety device is configured for at least protecting the rechargeable storage device from substantial overcharging during exposure of direct sunlight. A cutoff threshold is configured for at least preventing a deep discharging of the rechargeable storage device. An illumination mode comprises at least the rechargeable storage device providing the stored energy, the light unit providing the illumination, the illumination lasting for at least 5 hours, and the cutoff threshold preventing the deep discharging of the rechargeable storage device.

An LED step light may include a junction box. An LED step light may include an LED light head assembly, including: a clip strap, a driver box, a cover, a reflector cover, wherein the clip strap couples together the driver box, the cover, and the reflector cover. An LED step light may include a heat sink reflector, wherein the heat sink reflector is disposed within an interior of the reflector cover. An LED step light may include a pan rotation ring. An LED step light may include a ball plunger, wherein the ball plunger may be attached to the reflector cover, and may be configured to interface with the pan rotation ring to allow for rotation of the LED light head assembly. An LED step light may include a main plate. An LED step light may include a face cover plate.

Disclosed in the present disclosure is an outdoor step lamp. The outdoor step lamp includes a housing, where an opening is formed at a lower end of the housing, and a cover plate is arranged at the opening of the lower end of the housing. A lamp panel is arranged in the housing, and a control chip and lamp beads that are electrically connected are arranged on the lamp pane. According to the present disclosure, light emitted from the lamp beads is transmitted out through a circular arch top wall, and the light forms a long strip shape that is mapped on a step surface. When the step lamp provided by the present disclosure is mounted on the step, occupied space in a lengthwise direction of a step is small, and impact on walking of people on the step is also minor.
