I have a project I'm working on and kind of running into a wall on figuring it out. Historically speaking, I do not have a lot of electronics background so please bear with me. I have a keypad mounted in a housing. This keypad is unlit, making it very difficult for others to see the numbers when it's still dark outside. What I'd like to do is illuminate it with a small light. Possibly LED, or? The other thing I'd like to use is a small motion detector so that it's not lit all the time (not a good neighborhood, not trying to draw attention to it).
Within the unit I have 24VDC. I also have plenty of room inside to mount a small transformer if needed. I need something that can put up with the elements as it is outside (the light, that is. Any other components would go in the cabinet). Any chance one of you gurus would like to toss some help my way? Thank you
