80s SciFi - Can't remember the name

[rachael1826]

I don't know if it was a film or a series, but basically it was about a guy who gained power from the sun, but if he got too much sunlight it would harm him. He had to wear special sunglasses. Anybody any ideas about what it was called?

Think you may be talking about Northstar, a 1986 tv movie?

How odd. The thought of this movie popped into my head a couple of months ago but then I forgot all about it and didn't follow it up by asking.
