RailLight Mini Testimonials
RailLight Mini - Another Winner from SolLight
Recently, a friend who'd eaten at a waterfront restaurant called to ask if I knew "that there was a bright white light shining on Gizmo's flying bridge?"
A mini solar panel, a replaceable NiMH battery, twin LEDs, an automatic light sensor switch (along with a waterproof manual one), plus a versatile and detachable rail mount are the winning recipe.
Test samples of the company's cute Lightship and shimmering LightCap lantern-in-a-bottle are still working after years of use, and still appreciated. SolLight also offers a Premium RailLight that's almost twice as bright, includes several more mounting options, and might also serve as a dinghy running light.
I can tell you that it works, and at about $30 is a very appealing little cruising accessory.

"Adding a little light to the cockpit is easy with the RailLight Mini from SolLight. Similar to the familiar solar-powered lawn lights, the RailLight uses two bright LEDs powered by a solar-charged battery to offer go-anywhere lighting without wires or the need for extra batteries. The light includes a tough nylon clamp that mounts onto rails, stanchions or posts, while a quick-release feature allows the light to be removed without having to undo the clamp. Made for harsh environments, the RailLight is made from marine-grade stainless steel with a watertight plastic housing and waterproof switch that lets users turn off the light when not needed."

“The Raillight Mini makes a perfect emergency light if all your boat power goes out. For under $30 you can have a secure outdoor light virtually anywhere on your boat without having to drill holes, run wires, or worry about running down your battery. Now that’s a bargain.”

“I can’t believe how much light this thing gives off. I expected a dull glow, but what I got was a light I can really use. Your new clamp system is great. The other night when I needed to go to shore I just unsnapped the RailLight from the mount and used it as a flashlight. When I held it over my head my wife thought I looked like the Statue of Liberty, all lit up!”
