Solar lighting? - 03/17/16 01:16 AM
I need some insight. I just built a chicken coop and need a light so I can see when I'm feeding and watering.
I can't figure out how to build or design the light system.
Must be solar powered
Must be bright ish
I'd like to be motion sensored
If motion sensored it needs to not be activated by chickens. Also needs to stay on for at least 5 minutes.
Could be a switch to turn on.
I'm thinking a solar panel charging a battery, hooked to a switch, then to the light. What size battery would I need? What size panel?
I'm lost here
