Modding Ideas? Traffic light

I got this from my brother, where he got it...I dunno..

It was a traffic light, it runs of 4 D cell batteries. Underneath the amber cover there, there's 2 really bright amber LEDs, hooked up to a little circuit board. I tried to find a manual for it on the internet to find out exactly how it worked, but all I could find out is that somehow you can set it to flash, or steady-on. At the moment it flashes. As near as I can tell it's got a light-sensetive switch, there's 2 holes on one side and one on the other, if you cover them it comes on.

I'd like to mod it or incorporate it into a mod or something. I really have no ideas, so.. any ideas you have would be appreciated.

 

yeah me and my friend got 4 of em lol, they ran on a big battery, they where cool but theres a 120$ doller fine for each of them if u find em, coz they are the councils DDDDDDDD

 

I guess you could always shove one in your case.....lol

 

Can you see any chips or is it all potted in epoxy? A datasheet for one of the chips may show you the "typical" application. Otherwise browse for applications of the CMOS version of NE555/NE556. I think you will find something.

 

you could set one in the window.....put those clamps on your fan leds that make em pulse. If the big one is light sensitive then the pulse of the leds should trigger the biggy. Of course, that may blind you if your case is on your desk. Gnarly thought tho.

 

It's good for people peeking off your screen at a LAN though just blast em with a flash of that

 

It'd be kind of cool to find one of those sensors they use in the sound-reactive ccs. I thnk you know where I'm going with that..

 

ooooooo, i like the idea

 

You could paint a case with yellow and black diagonal stripes and write on it with big letters under construction or get an image on the web and print it and work with it. your light on top would look cool

 

Me I would strip it down. make a differant switch (or add one) and put it in my case fo a external powered light

 

Hey

Hey Josh u could use the LED light to put where the time used to be or somewhere in your disk drive.

 

wrong thread jd

 

u should probly try to put the Led lights in your mouse

 

It might be cool if you could rip all the electronics except the leds out and use it as a massive ide activity light. Then you could mount it on top of your computer or monitor. Might be kinda distracting though.

Do you have any pictures of the insides?
