Hey guys,
We need to figure out how to get a light to turn on at 4:30 AM at a couple of locations where there’s no power or internet available. It’s just for a single light, not a string of them. Does something like this exist?
Appreciate any ideas!
Have you thought about using a solar-powered light with a timer? There are models that can store energy throughout the day and switch on automatically at the time you set. Some even have built-in motion sensors if that’s useful.
I’d second the solar-powered option. You can get ones with a built-in dawn/dusk sensor too, so they automatically adjust with daylight changes. Might be simpler than dealing with timers.
Another option could be using a remote-controlled light that works with a battery pack. No need for power or internet, just pop in the batteries, and you can turn it on at the time you need with a remote. Not as automated, but it could work!
Look into solar lights with a programmable timer. A lot of them are wireless and don’t need any extra setup, perfect for remote places like what you’re describing.
You could try a mechanical timer plug connected to a portable power station. It’s a bit of a workaround, but it would allow you to set the time and control when the light turns on.
