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?


Shouldn't cause a problem if it's stuck to the metal housing. The
housing will confine the magnetic field.

Brings to mind what some cheats used to do way back when...Used a great
big old alnico magnet taped onto the meter glass to slow down the shaded
pole motor action of the disk.
