Security Light

[BeeJ]

Need parts suggestions or a purchasable finished unit for a security
light.

1) plugs into 110VAC 60 Hz
2) Li ion battery preferred but 12V gel OK.
3) charge circuit for charge and maintenance
4) One or two LED lamps. Can get 12V 6W bi-pin lamps with good
brightness for $19 each. Purchased one and like it.
5) night/dark enabled
6) motion sense to turn on.

I have looked a local HW stores and on line but found no complete
solution. Electronic part stores have very expensive charge modules
($35 for a 12v 300 MA / float wall wart unit)

I can get a solar charged Li battery with LEDs unit $19. Could add an
AC adapter/charger and a walk sensor. Just some thoughts.

Suggestions please.

Uses NiCd - no go for me.
Does not plug into AC to charge. no go on dark days.
Other HF security lights do use Li but no AC charge.

Get a Emergency light box and add the motion and light sensors.
most use Lead acid batteries.

If the OP can't add a wallwart charger to the HF light proposed by
Jamie how is he going to manage this?

Had all the HF LED lights in my hands in store.
most are NiCd - no thinks
batteries are all behind a dozen or so screws so I could not
determine ease of modification. Could no determine number of cells.
the manuals on line are the same as in the box and are of NO use.

I would rather work with a 12V system.
