Adding additional LED Lighting Strips powered by solar to Facility

---

As of this post my shop facility has four 16.4 foot LED light strips all powered by solar. This now gives me about 64 feet of led lighting, around the perimeter of my shop. I decided to add additional lighting to the backside of my shop. The back side faces the edge of the property and it's a wood land.

I decided additional lighting would be nice so that I can access the backside of the property at night without tripping over any lose junk and killing myself. Additionally, I live in an area where thievery and theft does happen from time to time so having lots of light at the edge of the property is very helpful.

For the additional set of lights I decided to actually just split off an existing motion sensor switch as opposed to wiring in the included motion sensor. Eventually I plan to wire essentially 3 way sensors so that any sensor will trigger the rear and side lights.

Splitting off one sensor is no problem at all considering each motion sensor can handle up to 3 amps. One motion sensor should handle, easily, up to three 16 ft light strips.

With a DC Jack pig tail kit, some shrink wrap, and a soldering gun dispenser it is very easy to make DC jack splitter's and or extension cables. In my case, one male to two female connectors work. Having a DC jack pig tail kit is very helpful as you can create your own custom splitter cables. Be it 1 female to two males or 1 male to three or four females.

Considering the good luck I have had with YI-LIGHTING being nice and bright and lasting multiple years now, the rear lighting addition is a worth while investment. The motion sensors work good and the adhesive so far has lasted multiple seasons.

The current motion sensors that I split off is right above the shop entry door way which is right there next to the end of the property.
