I have been reading a lot of threads here, and elsewhere regarding the use of 4060 IC's, and such for delay timers.
I have built a circuit that uses a 555 dark detection circuit by Tony Van Roon that I am very happy with.
In day mode, idle, it consumes .1 mA. While supplying the voltage to my mosfet, (running the lamp) - the 55 circuit, itself, uses 6.7 mA.
So I am happy with those numbers and it behaves perfect.
My question is this:
The lamp runs all night. How can I use a 4060 or something to make the lamp only run for 2-6 hrs.
Thanks
