Abstract
An outdoor light using a motion sensor that activates the light when motion is sensed by changes in the infrared signal detected. The device uses a passive infrared detector network to sense infrared and to produce an analog signal in response to said infrared detected which is then passed through an amplifier to a signal controlled oscillator. The signal is converted into a digital signal which is used to detect motion by a logic device.
