Solar Powered Key Light

The solar powered Key Hole Light keeps you from wasting electricity by not having to keep your porch light on for hours when you go out at night. It is switched on by tapping the top of the unit and only stays on for about 10 seconds, conserving its solar power for up to 720 more uses on its full charge.
