[Shop-talk] Solar driveway runway lights?

[Jim Franklin]

To be visible as one is walking up the driveway, they'd need a light source behind me. The ones I've seen in the street have reflectors front and back, to reflect headlights. I could probably come up with an elaborate multi-reflector contraption for using the garage lights to illuminate the backside of the unit, but at that point it's not worth it. I need about 20 units.

A reflector post, like on roadsides, on a 4x4, now you have me thinking. One issue that comes to mind is, people walking up the driveway could trip on them, especially when the garage carriage lights are relatively bright compared to everything else in their field of view and would blind them to ground based obstacles.
