Kids would love this!</span></div><div><br></div><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>Think about that one.</div><div><br></div><div>Tony</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><h1 style="margin:0px;padding:3px 0px 0px;font-size:16px;line-height:18px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><br></h1> </div></div>
