Grandma won a twin-pack of these at a church function and gave them to

They have 3 ways of being mounted: screws, double stick tape and a
small magnet built into the base.

I was thinking of slapping one on the bottom of my electrical meter
housing just to see how well it will light up the walkway as I round
the corner of my house.

Does anybody see any issues with having a small magnet in such close
proximity to the meter?

What did your power company say? They can get rather upset if they
discover it undocumented. Since by 'housing' you likely mean meter
base, the magnets should have no effect at all, and the power company
ought to confirm that. If they balk at having anything on the
enclosure, then Plan B should be a piece of sheet metal nailed to the
siding to mount the device. Cheers,

Thanks for the response.

I didn't ask the power company 'cuz I know what they'll say. They'll
say "No!" just as a CYA.

Yes, I mean the meter base, and No I'm not nailing a piece of sheet
metal to the siding. g

I've been in the house for over 20 years and never really needed a
light along this walkway, but I've always been on the lookout for
something real easy to install just for the fun of it. Where I've
actually needed/wanted light, I've done a proper installation, per
code.

As soon as I saw that these were battery operated and had a magnetic
mount, I knew right where I wanted to try one. I may like it but I may
not even replace the batteries when they die. That's how unimportant
this installation is.
