A lighting assembly for directing light downward onto a surface, the assembly including a shield having two attached plates disposed in angled relation to each other and adapted for mounting above the lighted surface. A solar panel is mounted on the top surface of the shield to convert light energy into electric power for recharging the battery. A photocell is mounted on the top surface of the shield to measure the ambient light and provide the source for switching between the charging and lighting modes.
