Simple Photoresistor Circuit

Postby gwpmike » Sun Oct 18, 2015 9:08 pm

I want to create a simple circuit that is essentially the opposite of a dawn/dusk circuit.

A dawn/dusk circuit would allow a light to turn on (or close the circuit) when it is dark outside, and would turn the light off (open the circuit) when it is light outside. I want to do the opposite.

I want a LED to be able to turn on ONLY when it is light outside. I want the LED to not turn on when it is dark outside.

In other words, close the circuit when the photoresistor detects light, and open the circuit when the photoresistor does not detect light. Please see the attached diagram.

[b]Hello gwpmike,
Please check the circuit below:

The above circuit will do what you want it to do, but it will be a gradual turn on and turn off, as the intensity of daylight and darkness changes progressively, so does the resistance of the LDR (Light Dependent Resistor).
I hope it helps.
