Thanks, Curt, this is good stuff! I've been sort of considering a solar motion lamp for the backyard, as we have no light out there and no circuits in the general vicinity that I could tap into to add a floodlight. We don't go out there much at night, but if we need to it's pretty darn dark. The property is wooded as well, which makes it even harder to see at night.
