Solar Rechargable 4 Flashing LED with Day/Night Sensor

03/14/2011 6:47 AM

Hi

I am looking for a circuit diagram with the most effecient flasher must have daynight sensor .I will use a 3V rechargable battery.Please assist me.This unit must work like the current flashing roadstuds.

Regards

Hoosein

The problem is the word 'efficient' there are plenty of oscillator circuits but they all consume power.
To do it most efficiently you would probably need a microcontroller with a very low current sleep mode. ST7flite2 is one such device it can then 'wake up' briefly once a second flash and go back to sleep, it has plenty of inputs and outputs so could be triggered by a daylight sensor.
Maybe someone will know of a simpler low current solution, maybe some experimentation with a thyristor or somesuch would prove fruitful?

That is what I call letting the cat out of the bag!
