  • the motor switch on when the led´s are iluminated. Thus should be the opposite, the mechanism should find the solar light by itself and rest.

  • the tracking surface is 90deg to the sun switch's shadow plate ... when the shadow plate cast a shadow over the west tracking LEDs the motor switches off... as the sun moves west it exposes the west LEDs and the motors tun on ... casting the shadow over the LEDs switching the motor off ... and the process repeats
