I would like to make a simple motion activated night light. The night light part is easy enough but I dont have the time to go replacing batteries every 2 days. So I would like to partially remedy that by making a night light that is motion activated. As I know most people on this site can enjoy a good challenge I will set some slight limitations. The only hard part for me is how to make and manage the motion activated part.
1. No µCs , PICs, PLCs, or any high level control devices.
2. Lets try to keep it under $30 just for fun.(doesnt really matter)
3. Power supplied will most likely be 6v stepped down to 5v for
easy adaptation for digital circuits if needed. (simple gates)
And use your imagination, if it happens to blink, fade or any other effect thats fine. I am making this simply because I need a light for my living room at night cause where I live there is NO light unless you make it and regular light can be quite "harsh" in the middle of the night when you just wanna get something from the frig.
I am interested to see what y'all come up with.
Schematics welcome.
