Solar Shed Light - night auto-on instead of manual on.

Post by O()O » Wed Nov 28, 2012 10:11 am

This Solar Shed Light comes with a manual slide switch to turn it on.

But I want to make this Solar Shed Light come on automatically at night instead.
I want the circuit to detect night time by using the solar panel like most solar garden lights thesedays.

The other way would be to use a photocell resistor.

Hopefully the photos will have enough info for you to tell me how to do it.
I think the answer is very simple but I have not been able to do it myself.

The writing on the 2nd transistor is unreadable.
