Hey that’s not a Bud Lite, that’s a Butt Light!
Alas, I had a higher and better use for the Nichia 219. The Nichia 219 piss light is now a Cree XLAMP-7090 piss light.
Glad you’ve got it all shorted out. I’d request beamshots but you might actually post em. (nice thrower!)
Actually, I tried! Butt my camera has problems with the low light level.
Ok, I coaxed an image into the camera. Beamshot added to the fist post. Be careful what you ask for!
Well ain't that a pisser.
OR shaky hand, OR that unexpected side shot :bigsmile:
I hate the unexpected at a time like that.
Why oh why, no matter how much you shake, do the last drops always run down your leg???
… or a submersible toilet light, just throw it in the bowl and go … put it on a string, pull it up … rinse it off… hang it up … tell the missy it’s a night-light …

I like this one because it creates a target in the toilet to piss on.
just got the motion detector i ordered(same as you used)but there is no diagram about input and output wiring,do you remember where to connect input/output?
it does actually require some maintenance. I cut a groove into the rim at the back of the toilet and epoxied a vary large Tritium vial into it. No batteries, no worries.

From left to right mine is marked +5V OUT GND. That 102 resistor next to the GND pin is the one that I shorted out to directly drive the LED.
Left left hand pot on the top of the board is TIME. The other is sensitivity. My board does not have those jumpers installed in the corner. I think they are for one-shot/re-triggerable mode.
nice thanks.
edit
i used the gnd for the led as well,i did not short the resistor yet but i have a firefly led now using 4x AAs
You need a target for low light conditions
But seriously, what do I need to change to swap in a red or amber with this motion detector?
Good idea. Heck, they could go at the baseboard all through our house, if dim enough.
It’d be fun to see what the cat made of being tracked.
Already tempted to think about adding a relay or something to switch a bit more power to run a brighter room-sized red or amber light for evening walking around.
If I were building a new house these days for myself, I’d probably skip a whole lot of the 110v wiring and switches and lights.
Who needs that stuff anymore, for room lighting? Put it where it’s needed, move it where it’s wanted.

I think you would not have to do anything different. I’d try it first with the resistor left in. If you need more oomphalumens, try it with the resistor shorted or paralleled/replaced with a lower value resistor.
But, with a red LED you won’t know if you’ve come down with a case of Ebola and are peeing blood… J)
You know the drill… wake up in the middle of the night with an urgent urge to go. You have a few options:
- don’t… sorry, life doesn’t work that way
- go in the dark… and paint the toilet, floor, and your feet
- turn on the light… and blind yourself and never get back to sleep
- use a flashlight, hope it turns on low, and you don’t drop it in the bowl
The same problem was studied in depth by Australia’s greatest scientist, Karl Kruszelnicki. This is a man with degrees in mathematics, biomedical engineering, medicine and surgery.
His solution was so simple, yet so radical & controversial that people were left questioning what it meant to be a man.
Here is it, option 5).
5) Sit down to take a piss.
