The reflector may include a partial cylindrical section at each opposed end for supporting an elongated lamp and for reflecting the light from the lamp onto the real estate sign disposed between the opposed ends of the reflector. A photocell interconnects the lamps with the battery to energize the lights and illuminate the real estate sign during periods of darkness.
