[MassHistPres] Solar Walkway/Driveway Lights

[bgreg at comcast.net]

Have any Historic Districts addressed solar walkway and/or driveway lights installed in their district?  The devices are certainly energy efficient, but there aren't any older period models to compare or replicate.  Two dozen lining a long walk or driveway are quite noticeable due to their unique grayish/blue glow.  Because the lamps aren't hard wired, they don't necessarily fit into the permanent fixture definition - although folks seldomly line their sidewalks or driveways with lights for one week.  A commission might recommend the installation of period lamps on poles but the cost differential between reproduction lamps and the solar lights is quite significant.
