Hello All,
In trying to do my part in saving energy and teaching my son about solar power, we built a nice little Dc to Pulse Width Modulator Kit to power a string of converted Malibu lights with LEDs and a 12volt battery that we have charging all day with a solar panel that keeps it all self sufficient. Nice and bright and last all night. Well, I thought instead of turning them on every night, I'd install a Photoelectric switch from the hardware store. Here's were I'm lost.
The Photoelectric switch is stated to handle up to 120 volts AC - 1000watts.
It has 3 wires: Red, Black, White.
The kit we made uses 12 volts DC and only has 2 outs (+) and the (-).
It also has a DCin, GND, and a Vref. I'm not using them now but should I and if so...how?
Help us and thanks.
