Where can you get a 12 volt photocell dusk to dawn switch to control a series of low volt lights hooked up to a 12v battery and solar panel?

When you add a second battery to a series circuit what happens?
Adding a seound battery to a series circuit will increase the voltage, and require less current to keep the lights (if there are any on) as bright. Say you have a 6v battery, then you add another 6v battery. the voltage of the circuit would be 12v
Do emergency Lights have to be on all the time?
No. Emergency lights are designed to turn ON when there is a power loss or outage either from their back up battery or from an emergency generator. In buildings which do not have back up emergency generators, (which most are) emergency lights require power supplied to them 24/7 to keep their batteries charged.
How many lights can you put on a dimmer?
As many as the watts or current the dimmer specs say it will control - less 10 percent
What are the basic parts of a simple electric circuits?
The three essential parts of any electrical circuit are: a power source (like a battery or generator), a load(like a light bulb or motor) and connectors (wires) to join them together.A fourth part, that is always a very important thing to have in most circuits, is a control device such as a switch, circuit breaker or fuse.
What do you mean by sourcing and sinking?
A sourcing output supplies current or voltage to the load. The output would be hooked to one side of the load, and the other side is grounded. A sinking output works by pulling the voltage or current to ground. In this case, the load is connected to the 'hot' power supply terminal, and the other end is connected to the sinking output. When the output goes active ("goes low"), current flows from the power supply, through the load, then to ground via the output terminal. Sinking outputs are sometimes called 'open collector' outputs. You can visualize it this way: Take a light bulb and hook one lead to the chassis of your car. You just grounded the load. Now take a wire and hook it to the positive battery terminal. When you touch the battery wire to the bulb, it lights. You are 'sourcing' current to the bulb. Now, connect the bulb to the positive battery terminal. Take a wire and connect it to the car's frame (ground). The bulb already has a voltage supply - the positive battery terminal. When you touch the ground wire to the bulb, sinking current to ground, the bulb lights. The big deal here is IC's that sink current typically have much greater current capability than those with sourcing outputs. So why even bother with sourcing outputs? Their main claim to fame is the load can be ground-referenced, which is very desirable in some situations.
You have no lights but you have a new battery and a new alternator what could be wrong?
Recheck your battery to see if hooked up right.
Why do the flashers flash when the battery is hooked up?
This is because each time the battery is disconnected, the computer in the car loses power. When the new battery is hooked up, the computer system needs to be reset to stop the lights from blinking.
Why would lights come on by themselves?
Perhaps they are on a timer or photocell.
Are step lights available for use on indoor stairs?
Pegasus Lighting carries lights that are to be used on indoor stairs. They are led lights that can be hooked into your electrical box or you can choose the battery operated.
Is It Possible To Control The Battery Indicator Lights On A MacBook Pro?
No
How do solar yard lights work at night?
Solar lights have a solar panel, control board, photocell sensor, Ni-Cad batteries and a LED (light emitting diode) bulb. The solar panel captures the sun's photonic energy during the day. This electrical current is stored in the Ni-Cad (nickel-cadmium) batteries. The photocell sensor detects available light and the control board regulates flow into the battery. When the photcell sensor detects darkness, the charge stored in the battery is released to power the LED bulb during the evening. Of a morning, the light is switched off to recharge the batteries. Multi crystalline powered solar lights need full sun to charge however amorphous solar panels are still able to charge in overcast conditions.
What is a good idea for a mini Christmas lights system?
A good idea for a mini Christmas lights system is to set your lights to music by getting a control system that is hooked up to your computer. You can buy one already built, or do it yourself.
1991 mercury capri and you tryed to start it up and but you didn't even see any lights trun on but the battery is full you hooked it up to another car and i saw the lights but couldn't start it?
The 80 amp fuse is blown, it is hard to see on that fuse.
What dash lights mean on Mitsubishi Triton?
There are several dash lights on a Mitsubishi Triton. There is a light to indicate a hot engine, low battery current, high beam lights and when the cruise control is engaged.
Why would you lose dash lights cruise control brake lights and tail lights on a 1991 Toyota Celica?
the plug behind the battery might be unplugged or that same plug is disconnected from the fuse box
What would cause dash warning lights not come on won't start and battery is good on a 1990 Toyota Celica?
1990 toyota celica when jumper cables are hooked up dash lights turn on but the car won't turn over won't even click
I've boost charged my 12V battery with 24V now the ingition lights have stopped working on my Ford Mondeo?
You have possibly blown the main fusible link by the battery. Check this first, then all the other fuses. Did you turn the key on at all while you were charging with 24Volts? If so you may have damaged some of the electrical control units and possibly the alternator. Charging a 12V battery on 24 volts is a no no, especially while hooked up to the cars electrical system. Many of the control units and computers have direct battery feeds to them for memory purposes so you end up with 24V going to them as well as the battery if everything is still connected while charging. Another possiblity is if you turned the key on while the battery was still being chatged with 24V you have blown all the 12V warning lights in the instrument cluster.
