DIY 12V LED Lighting upgrade/Outdoor Shower Stall

[ballgame]

I decided to upgrade the lighting in my shower stall.

The AA battery operated lights I was using we're getting old and just not cutting it.

I picked up these little led PODs from a local electronics shop for $3 per POD. Each POD or whatever you call them, has 3 small lights.

I think I used 11 or 12 pods for this install but could have gotten away with less but I wanted it BRIGHT! 6 pods would have been plenty.

I wired the string of lights to the 12V battery that runs my water pump and it is recharged by a solar panel.

I used an old extension cord (cut off the ends) and use a single pole light switch to turn them on.

Once I find a good 12V dusk/dawn sensor I will rig some of these up to my Polaris Ranger garage to help combat the mice.

Nice work.

That looks really bright. Nice job.

Wow! Much brighter than I though. Great job.

Got any advice on wiring in a dusk to dawn sensor between solar panel, 12v lights, battery? I bought this shed and it has some lights on the outside above the door. I'd like to get them going with a solar panel and battery but don't want them on all the time.

Headed to electronics store at lunch, owner will be there to show me how to build and wire. Will share info later today or tomorrow.

It's been a while since I played with electronics but you would want to connect it between the light and the battery. You could also install a switch that would allow you to over ride the sensor. Here is a link on YouTube

Electronics store was a bust, not worth the time and money to build one.

Will probably just order a sensor switch off ebay from UK or Hong Kong.
