Afraid of the dark? Make a motion activated light! I am sure you have been caught in this scenario: you need to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, but your lightswitch is at the other end of the room and you are afraid of dark. Normally, you might squirm in your bed and wait out the night. Now, you don't have to. Make this circuit: power + motion trigger + timeout + bright led. Set the timeout to on-off mode and set the time to whatever you like. This way, when you wake in your bed at night, your movement will activate the motion trigger, thus turning on the light. Bo more sleepless nights! Hooray!
