Good news !
Just the job !
runs on 4x1.5V AA batteries with little switch down = A for automatic.
Day/night sensor on a blue wire just cut the wire and its disabled, Its mounted in with the leds.
A 25 second on cycle so a Pic will need adding to get the delay you need.
Taking the case apart needs two screws removing one hidden under a small selfadhesive label.
The PCB is 2 inches by 2.5 inches and even has 4 little screw holes drilled in it. A small posi type headed watchmakers screwdriver is needed.
All that is needed is to run it on +5V lab supply and see if its happy !
I have photos if requested.
This is as good as it gets ! Brilliant.
From Maplin , 2 cost £18.97 from Maplin N98FY Also Uni-Com are based in Edenbridge Kent TN8 6EW

Update
With +5v volts applied it draws 30mA when the leds are on, 29.6mA going to the leds from the 4.09volts which it offers to the leds.
With the leds off it seems to use very little current - between 0.4mA to 4mA
Is 4.09 V ok for a Pic 'logic '1' ? What is the threshold here? I'm a bit rusty on the detail.
