The present invention is a self contained
lighting system, including a light member, the light member having at least one light emitting member operably coupled to an ambient light sensor, the light sensor opening a path of
electric energy to at least one light emitting member at a first certain sensed level of ambient light and closing the path of
electric energy to at least one light emitting member at a second certain sensed level of ambient light, an
electric energy storage device operably coupled to the path of electric energy and an electric energy generation device operably coupled to the electric
energy storage device, the electric energy generation device for providing electric energy to the electric
energy storage device, and a generally
thin walled tube being operably coupled to the light member, the tube defining an inner aperture, an opening at the first end of the tube opening to the inner aperture, and at least one threaded, generally transverse bore defined in the
thin wall, the at least one bore for threadedly receiving a
set screw. A method of forming the self contained
lighting system, is further included.
