Abstract
A self-contained photovoltaic powered light which is a stand alone unit. The solar cells which power the light are assembled and maintained within the top, or upper, portion of the self-contained unit. The solar cells are encapsulated within a resiliently deformable material to provide for contraction and expansion of the solar cells while at the same time providing protection from the elements for the assembly. A component tray assembly is rotationally secured to the upper portion of the lamp and a lens with decorative disks are rotationally secured to the component tray assembly.
