LED anchor light update.

What with three snowstorms in a week and a half, a recalcitrent ol' snowblower that has my patience at a point where I'm looking longingly at my 10 pound sledge, I havent had the time to get very far on the final determinations of the light. However, I have done research on photocells, phototransistors, and other esoteric items. This thing is growing. I got to thinking that if I can get the light to work at a supply voltage of around 5 volts, this thing would work even if the battery was close to dead. I think I have found a way to do that. The photocell/phototransistor is obvious to turn it on and off when needed automatically.I think I can also tie it in to the prop shaft with a sensor so when some guy or guyyette decides to motor at night , it will turn off. I have not been idle, just addled.
