Im trying to make/get a simple/cheap motion detector light run off solar or 12vdc. I just picked up a light from wal mart here is the link.
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Mr.-Beams-Security-Spotlight/16664171?findingMethod=rr
it has 3 /// 1 1/2 volt d cell batters in it. looks like they are in series,= 4 1/2 vdc.with a bright led. I don't know what size led, but would like to find out.It must be atleast 1 watt.
Now ,I plan on useing a 317 pos. votl reg. .5volt out put to charge the batters . with the small solar panel I will be making.
Im thinking that the 5 volts should do it fine.
Need some coments, and or some better ideas.
