Hello everyone,
I'm fairly new to all this so please excuse my ignorance.
I am trying to power a PIR sensor with a deep cycle 12vdc battery and get everything to light up a 12Vdc bulb. Basically an outdoor timed motion sensor light. Now I have an idea how to hook this all up, however I'm a little fuzzy on how to work the PIR sensors 3.3V output to power the 12Vdc bulbs. Would a relay work, because I have a relay laying around? Do I need to use transistors/resistors? Is there a better way I don't know of, ha. Thanks for any assistance!
