TyGuy Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 so this would be my first project with leds and I really don't know where to start. What I want to do is have 5 LEDs that turn on at night and off during the day. Kinda like the Bawls Night light project. it would be really helpful if you guys could tell me what I need. I would like to get the supplies from http://alan-parekh.vstore.ca/ because they are local and shipping is cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Go to a garden supply/DIY store and look for the solar powered garden lanterns. It will have a ready made circuit and solar cell, and will allow you to reverse engineer your own design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omega_ion Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 I have one of those solar powered lamps, they're sort of weak on power. As for the LEDs, you'll need 5 LEDs a battery, and a photosensitive resistor. The resistance of the resistor depends on the voltage of the battery.
