Hi folks! New to this forum and thought i'd ask for some advice on a project i'm helping a friend with. He's a bit of an artist and wants to build a solar powered LED light to shine a beam through a prism for an installation and he has asked me to build it for him.
My circuit design isn't great (haven't had to design any type of circuit since my electronics HND back in 2007!) but i've plenty of experience in PCB manufacture and a few home projects building and fixing synths etc.
I've done a bit of googling and found a few circuits that i thought i might be able to modify to suit this project.
Basically it has to use solar power to charge a battery that powers the circuit and he wants it to be able to run permanently i.e. (day and night) so it'd probably have to be a high capacity battery but it only has to power an LED light so it shouldn't use to much charge.
I was thinking of using this circuit and modifying it to suit. What i'd want to know is two things, would this circuit suit and if so, how should i modify it?
Thanks in advance for any help! I know it seems a bit lazy of me but I can't remember much at all about circuit design!
