Abstract: A lounge chair having a sun tracking positioning mechanism including at least one photo transistor having a lens for focusing sunlight in a straight line path passing through the lens and comprising a motor control circuit that allows a motor to operate for periods of no more than 30 seconds. Should the motor operate for a 30 second period, the system will deactivate. This 30 second cutout allows for controlling of shade times such as when the sun is behind clouds or the like.
