Hello fellows. wondering if someone could provide some info for me. I bought a cheap solar powered light to put buy my back door. Its motion activated and
supposedly shuts off in the daylight. It seems to me that it doesn't actually shut off in daylight but just dims. Anyway, where I have to put it must not get enough sun because after the first couple nignt's I used it stopped working. IT has 16 LED's and is in a weatherproof enclosure so I just decided to run a wire to it and hook it up to a steady power source. It had a 3.7 volt Battery in it rated at 1000ma. To test it I cut the wires to the battery and attached the leads from my bench
power supply to the B+ and B- on the circuit board. by hooking power up here I figured I would be able to keep the motion detector circuitry in place. When I power it up this way, 3.7 volts drawing 200ma it lights up for approx 10 sec. goes dim then lights back up. It repeats this action over and over. I made sure to position it as not to activate the motion sensor part of it. Going dim in light and motion detection is not working. Anyone know what I'm missing here?
shouldn't this work as I hooked it up? Thanks for any help!
