Help, I am attempting to build a solar powered working lighthouse using solar powered landscape lights for solar panels and lights. I plan to usa a 1.5 vdc geared electric motor to drive the can for the light. I have tried and tried to use the circuit board from one of the landscape lights to operate as a light detection switch for the motor circuit to no avail. My motor circuit consist of 1.5 v solar panel to a blocking diode to a 1.5vdc rechargeable battery to the motor. I would like some help or a schematic on a simple light detection switch to insert in between the battery and motor so I can get motor to run at night and battery recharge in daytime. Sorry to be so long winded. Any help out there? Thanks :?:
