Automatic Night Activation<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lights turn on automatically at sunset.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>4. Motion Detection<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sensors increase brightness when movement is detected.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>5. Daily Cycle Repeats<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The system operates independently every day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This makes solar lighting one of
