Tips
  • A 60 Hz hum from the fluorescent lights can be heard. The radio can be heard in a similar way through the light. The radio sends signals to the LED which pulses rapidly. The solarcell detects this and it can be heard on the amplifier.
  • If you hold the remote to a cell phone’s camera, the camera will display a purple light. Link to example.
  • Use the infrared filter to block the signal from the remote controls and other light sources.
  • Detailed instructions in the box.
  • IR filter is missing, talk to Brian Jones
