How My Completed Light Meets The Brief


How My Completed Light Meets The Brief

I have met the criteria in the brief. The brief stated that the light must be
-Able to withstand the Coramandell weather.
-Within a $60 budget
-Self powered
-Turn off in daylight and off in the night

My finished product is rustproof because the bulk of it is made of aluminum and the top plastic part is acrylic which also is non corrosive.

It is weather proof because I have sealed off the entire light with silicon sealant. The silicon sealant will not allow any water through. Therefore because its rust proof and weather proof my light can withstand the Coramandell weather.

My Finished product uses a solar panel in the circuit. The solar panel is a self powering component

The circuits I used all have LDRs in them. this makes the lights to turn off in sunlight , when the solar panel charges and turns on at night when the light was needed.
All the materials used in the making of my solar panel light were all relatively cheap. Therefore my completed light is under the $60 budget.
