[Accrs] Project Idea - Dance Motion Lights

[Alameda County Central Railroad Society]

Okay,  here's an idea to think about and see what thoughts you have.
We have some train lights lying around.  Is there a plan for these?  Here's an idea.
Idea 1:   Basic motion activated light blinking- low cost,  low complexity
Idea 2:  Advanced motion activated light with response - like the ones where you can dance in front of and the move you move the more the light flashes.- higher, higher complexity, but more fun.  Kids would love this!
We could fabricate a bracket to hold the lights and sensors ,  then hang it on the fence in the back or wall perhaps.    In Option 1,  just walking by would trigger the sensor and it would turn on and blink for 5 seconds.  Option 2, turns on when you walk by, but if you wave your hands it blinks faster depending how much motion you create.
Powering - we could light these with LED's using 3 volts supplied by a battery.  The battery can charged with a solar panel.  Home  depot selling solar powered motion activated lights.  The sensors detect night/day so we might want to replace that with different sensor - perhaps something like a Pyroelectric Infrared PIR motion sensor.
Think about that one.
