Please log in for more thread options I want to make a flood light on the side of my house come on when a circuit is broken. I want to attach a low voltage wire to something in my front yard. When someone tries to remove that something from my yard (they'll have to cut the wire), I want my flood light be activated to scare them off. I can't imagine this is too difficult a job for someone that works in electronics. Can anyone tell me how to do this? Thanks, William | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Hi William, As is often the case people here read into the question before they answer. I am no different. I could just describe a circuit to do what you ask but feel compelled to but in. If someone cuts the wire to steel your object the light will make them run alright, but with your object. Why not just let the PIR floodlights come on when they get near the object? OK TOM, mind your own business! Someone steeling your statues William? Regards, Tom | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The laziest way would be a long wire through all of the item to be protected and then wired to a relay coil. If the circuit is broken, the relay's coil would de-energize and the normally closed contact will close. The floodlight could be wired through the N.O. contact (in parallel to an existing switch) so the floodlights would come on when the wire's broken. -- When you hear the toilet flush, and hear the words "uh oh", it's already too late. - by anonymous Mother in Austin, TX To reply, replace digi.mon with phreaker.net | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

If you wire the internal relay to the light line, also the light will go off. Good night. -- ciao Ban Bordighera, Italy | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
